tutorial three deteriorating results
Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2013 5:15 pm
Hmmh, I did tutorial three (artillery) first time pretty much leaving control to the AI, and never repositioned the battery. I got a score of 51.
So I read a couple of threads here, got some tips, and tried 'taking command' and targeting specific enemy units, trying to use the proper ammunition type at a given range. My score went to -11. Then my latest try, the Vermont infantry kept advancing on me, I kept trying to target them with canister - they lost a lot, but kept coming and eventually overran my position. -71 score.
So would I be better off pretty much leaving targeting to the AI?
I noted that for some guns, after I TCd them, selected a specific target - they pretty much ignored my selection.
