Nato symbols

Close Combat: Gateway to Caen is the latest release in the critically-acclaimed Close Combat series and focuses on the largest, concentrated British offensive since the Normandy landings in an attempt to penetrate the German lines west of Caen and cross the Odon River to get the stalled advance moving again.

Nato symbols

Post by blastpop »

Haven't played since the CC Cross of Iron and am impressed how the many minor improvements I've seen. That said on another thread there is discussion of the lack of blood. I think more importantly there should be Nato style symbols to accompany the German units once they are identified. My reason is for ease of play reasons. It is just easier to find the enemy during play- since your troops already see them instead of squinting to see the enemy troop sprites.

I would like to see that added in the next patch and for those who don't want the Nato symbols give them the ability to turn them off if they wish.

Haven't noticed but on enemy vehicles and guns, there is a NATO badge that appears when that unit is spotted. The badge will disappear if your units lose site of the enemy.

Maybe I haven't played enough yet to notice... Did tutorials and a scenario that I saw a couple of German Halftracks briefly. Did see a lot of enemy troops though and didn't see any Nato symbols to accompany the sprites.

Actually did- thank you.

Still getting accustomed to the game and I missed it. Still I don't remember seeing them, as I guess it seems to blend to the terrain a bit, at least in the screenie that was posted. At this point I'm trying move my troops and probably paying somewhat less attention to some of the details.

After playing this game for a while, the NATO symbols do seem to blend into the background for me, but that's because I'm focusing on the individual soldiers or units.

You can turn these symbols on and off in options. Some people turn them off unintentionally, and that may have been what happened.
