So, guys, I try to get familliar with CM 2 and have question about concealment in CMBN.
1. How is yours experience with AT/AP guns? Are they useful or not? In my opinion, they are uselles, as the "hide" command means that only a crew lay down, but the gun is not camouflaged in any way. So its very well visible for the enemy and usually is destroyed by mortars much faster than it can be used - mainly AT guns with armor cover arc are very fastly revealed by enemy infantry...Its a huge change against CM1, where a correctly poitioned gun can win a battle and where is no problem to hide a gun and wait until enemy come to the close range without revealing your position too early...
2. Is it "hide" command together with "cover arc" useful? It seems to me, when you give a hide command, that view of the infantry/crew is very highly reduced...so even they have cover arc, they dont see enemy coming in and they dont start a fire.....
I was thinking, that both matters are maybe just a consequences of the Normandy terrain - boccage is everywhere and that means, that every fight (man or armor) is a close fight usualy in distance of 50-100meters. Do you have experiences with Market Garden or Italy? There shouldnt be such obstacles (boccage) and the view should be much more better. Are the figts usualy for longer range in these addons than in CMBN? And if so, is it possible to succesfully hide a gun in these loger ranges fights?
