PoorOldSpike Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, as a longtime wargamer i've been dabbling in the F/A-18 Hornet editor trying to set up a wargame, eg a group of my tanks versus a group of the AI's tanks. When I start the mission they trundle towards each other along the waypoints I pre-set in the editor, and start shooting at each other on their own initiative which is great. I can change the zoomable/pannable view from tank to tank with the F7 key just fine and be a passive observer as in the screenshot below, but I don't want to just observe, I want to give them new waypoints during play, is that possible somehow? (PS- I don't actually want to get inside the tanks, I'm happy to stay in external view if only I could at least give the formation new routes from time to time to suit the ebb and flow of the battle) Edited September 15, 2020 by PoorOldSpike
Passero Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Isn't that what Combined Arms is suppose to do? It enables RTS capabilities where you can take up the role of the JTAC and give orders. I'm not sure to what extend but I believe that's something you should look into... I'm also contemplating getting that DLC as it seems great fun. CA also allows you to actually take control of the tanks but it also enabled JTAC and game master capabilities Edited September 15, 2020 by Passero
