Weather

[charles_882]

What about the weather? What kind on effect do you think it should have in the game?

All of us know, how do tanks and trucks behave on a field full of mud. Aircraft support is difficult during a storm. Heavy rain can make some supplies unuseful. Certain weather conditions can cause epidemic faster, because of a lot of corpses.

What kind of weather conditions should be included and what impact should they have?
(storm, heat, clouds, heavy rain etc.)

As for me, storm/rain/cloudy/sunny should be implemented (also seasons for specific game plays would be a nice idea).

As for the conditions effect:
1)Cloudy - no penalitys, no bonuses
2)Sunny - no penalitys, bonus for spyeing out armored vechicles/artillery (the metal reflects sun beams http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif)
3)Rain - unit movement sloved, accuracy lovered, higher chance to avoid contact with enemy, lover radius of detection
4)Storm - No possibility of air support, very low unit movement, very hard detection of units, the tanks and heavy truckc cant move out of the hard soil/roads, becouse they get stuck in mud and they cant move until engineers/other vechicles will pull them out.

Additionally:
1)Autum (Fall weis, battle of Schwarzwald, some parts of Stalingrad, Upriseing '44) mostly rain and storm, also cloudy, all other conditions normal
2)Winter (Battle of Bulge, Stalingrad, Finland, Norway) all unit movement decresed, detection hardened. It snows instead of rain (same rules)
3) Spring (Monte Cassino, Invasion on France, Kursk, Storming of Wroc?aw/Breslau, Market Garden, Storm of Berlin) Mostly rain, but not as much storms as in autum, no penalitys, no bonus
4) Summer (Operation Barbararossa, Normandy, Africa Campaign) mostly clear sky or clouded sky, units have a greater detection chance, no penality to movement.

Afcours other's historicly correct effects should take place (fogs, sand storms, blizzards, flods etc) it,s not hard to do it, and mostly they would affect speed and detection.

seriously, thats a word. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif its the word for the rain and mud that come with spring in Russia. that would slow down all movements of any troops.

FACEPALM!

I still like the blizzard idea. I think it would be awesome if it could slow you down as far as moving and seeing.

[Inquisitor_Zeal]

It would be great if they had the battle of the buldge and had the blizzards. As A) thats historically correct and B) it would be really cool to see the effects on the battle as no air support would be available and it could even effect how much of your enemies movements/ units you could see on your map

To hell with blizzards, Thunderstorms with lightning streaking across the sky is what RUSE needs http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Inquisitor_Zeal]

that would also be kick ***
