Dogs of War - no helicopters, all warfare actions slow

[arewenotmen]

Hi,

Should I be able to buy helicopters in Dogs of War? I can't buy them at my HQ because it thinks there's no factories to build them with, despite there being two. I blew them up too but the only things I can construct are defences.

Also any time I go into Construction, Buy Units etc it takes about 20 seconds to go into effect.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Rob

Not sure about the Helicopter thing I can buy them in "Dogs of War" but the previous mission "Badlands" I got the "no factory" thing youre talking about even though I built an air factory.


When you buy a unit it will show how long that unit takes to spawn on the right side of the menu. ie.... Rifleman 5s Mi-24D 50s

s=seconds.

Same here, no matter if the commander is AI or myself. A factory is built, trying to buy air units result in "no factory".

When I said it was slow, I mean for the UI to respond. For instance you pick the Buy Units option and it takes 10 seconds for the menu to appear. It then takes 10 seconds to populate with information. The same is true of stuff like the voting menu.

I backed up my save and did a revert from the campaign menu, but I still don't get air units, though the menus work a little quicker.

Devs - I will put this in the bug tracker if you tell me what save files you need.

Everyone else - Can this be reasonably completed without a helo? How do I get on/off the island without one?

A BMP is amphibious, that should do. Unfortunately my AI gunner killed all the folks on the island (at least he recognized there was an enemy, which is not always true *g*)

[arewenotmen]

Oh yeah, thanks, I forgot about that. I'll try it tonight.

I bought a MI-24 normally, but couldn't order it around. I could fly it myself, but I wanted it as a support when attacking ChDKZ base and it didn't respond to any move/attack orders, just stayed at HQ with the pilot and gunner on place.

I can't buy any Choppers too.


* Suchy * .. Did you build your AIR FACTORY in the same PLACE of THE MISSION START ? Or did u move your HQ ?



About the MENUS' AI, in the beggining of the MISSION they opened QUICKLY here.

More Units and Cities after, they become a TURTLE to open.

Doing what "arewenotmen" did, backin up SAVED, REVERTING and RESTORING again the backup, the speed increases a little.


huuummm too many BUGS for a VERY , VERY NICE GAME !

But, We, that love BIS, are always THRusters !

Lucky. Mine take a full minutes from the start. I plan on never leaving my T-72.
