I lost two scout helos that retreated north from Kleinseelheim and took fire from Kirchhain. They didn't react. One subsequently got shot down, and the other still did not react. It got shot down too. I find it difficult to accept that Soviet ADA is that good and/or the US pilots are that bad.
I had the tank platoon screening south of Kleinseelheim in the highlighted hex, within command range of the HQ. It still took 36 minutes from 0829 to 0905 for it to start a hast move from one screen position to another. Yes posture changes should take some time, moreso for getting out of a hold position and getting into a hold position, but screening operations have got to be more flexible than they are.
The other thing I've been seeing are my mech platoons behing GroBseelheim, out of LOS, taking artillery fire and taking losses. In a previous run I lost 3 tracks in the platoon to the north, and this time I took one loss in the south and the platoon retreated. I can understand HQ and artillery units out of LOS taking fire, but I question this new feature.
If there will be a minor 2.0.11 update at some point before Southern Storm, my #1 gripe would be to reduce the posture change delays related to screening operations; this inability to have units shoot and scoot in this game is frustrating to no end. My #2 gripe would be to have helos react faster than they do under fire and get out of the way. And if something different did happen with artillery targeting of sub-units not in LOS, then that could be reconsidered.
OK, as usual, I need to adjust my game tactics to deal with the updated game mechanics. But I'd much rather have more flexibility to exercise real-world tactics, which hopefully the unit SOPs will better allow. Alright, hope this helps and I'll keep an eye out for MR's rebalanced scenarios update as I continue to poke at this latest version.
