Team/Group Sizes

[Andersson[SWEC]]

Cant remember if its been stated.
How large groups can you comand..
In A1 its lots, that i know...

All images ive seen has been 4 man fireteam...
I really hope its more than that.

eeerr... the campaign is a 4 man team. That's why you only see 4 players under control...

Obviously You could have bigger squads in single missions/multiplayer/editor etc.

In one of the other gamestar ones the player is mentioned as #19 so I am betting that its at least in the 100-200 range like in arma. Granted I never ever used that many because 12 was hard enough to command.

Im used to command Platoon size...
4x8 plus additional support units like transportation and
medteams.
So i dont see the differens between 4Squads or 4Platoons..
I just hope CoC will have their CEX in order in time for A2..

I find it time consuming enough to micromanage 10 ai. Hitting F12 every once and a while and trying to find that 1 unit is hard enough

What I reallllllllllly want is if say: You have 20 units. 10 Units (5 through 15) die. Leaving you with units: 1 through 5, and 15 through 20. I want the 15 through 20 units to automatically be brought down to fill the 5-10 spot.

Also, while we are on this. I would also love it if you had 10 tanks under your control - that all the tank's units could be "grouped" together so you could command 10 tanks in 1 command bar (f2-f11). Rather than looking through the dictionary of units under your command to try and find the driver or gunner to each tank. What if the gunner (number 3) is inside of the tank of unit 40? THAT gets annoying fast. Especially if you are not within visual distance of those unit(s).

10 tanks is 3 platoons with CommandTank..
Group them in teams. Blue Red and Green.

Theres an idea...IF i group my team of tanks
they should be Transferd to F buttons..Like
Blue team is F2, Red F3, Green F4..


Like ive stated in another thread, i expect to see alot of new
features in 6 menu.
Like ISSUE ranks..:
F2 - 6: Promote to: 1 Cpl, 2 Searg, 3 Lt, 4 Cpt, 5 Maj, 6 Col
F2 - 6: Degrade to: 1 Maj, 2 Cpt, 3 Lt, 4 Searg, 5 Cpl, 6 Priv
Then i can group my "Group/Teams" with a Chain of command..

Now were talkin war simulator...

I've had must miss the browser tab I meant to post in.
Still, instead of juggling function keys, maybe a press&hold for selecting certain type of units. ie. if there's a two tanks, three apc's and let's say a HMMV under our command, you could press and hold f3 (APC1 key), to select all of them no matter in which order are they. Or when selecting infantry which is assigned to Team Yellow, to select whole team.
Or press&hold "command" button, to show up a grid table with all the units under command, and allow to select them by by mouse pointer.
