Four-Shot-Salvo?

Post by vobbnobb »

What exactly is a four-shot salvo? Some people say that some units announce this for some reason. Here is a flame tank announcing it.

This is the AI announcing to you that it has decided to stop shooting the flamethrower -- it has been around in the game since the beginning, and basically limits flamethrower fire so they do not burn through all their ammo on a single area-fire order.

I am not sure of the situation you're showing in the screenshot -- is the tank firing the flamethrower at all?

Double checking the code, it assumes that anything that has its SAI Unit Type set to 'Flamethrower' will need this 'salvo' check. Flame vehicles with other weapons should be coded as normal vehicles, not flamethrower -- the original CC5 game has the M4 w/ flamethrower miscoded in the data files.
