Surpressive fire function affect on Normal fire???

[Heer_sturmfuhrer]

Just wondering as i noticed this yesterday how enemy infantry have an almost instant reaction if fired upon. I.e I had an mg42 and fired upon a group of 6 soldiers, within 2 seconds one of the enemy had returned fire with 100% accuracy and killed the operator of the mg42. Id like to increase the amount of time it takes soldiers in/out of direct fire to home there optics to achieve a hit. I was also wondering if there was a way of implementing some sort of surpression function on the enemy being surpressed i.e there momentarily unresponsive for 1-2 seconds.

Is any of this possible and if so could you tell me how id go about implenting it.

Iirc.... F5("attack ground") can basically be used with infantry(any infanty in fact) as a form of suppressive fire where infantry will fire at their fastest to basically "cover an area with lead", which type quantity of gunfire basically does produces a "suppressive/covering fire" form of effect as enemy behinds cover will basically find themselves hugging their cover more due to the amount of lead flying around, thus producing less counter-fire permitting another squad or unit to basically flank the enemy during that moment.

It tends to basically last only as long as your units are still firing, and it goes without saying single shots weapons such as rifles would offer less effect than say SMGs or such afaik.

I still need to uses it more often, though.

So basically i just need to find out how i can take the surpressive fire function affects and put it on normal fire, right.

Actually, as far as I know, "supressive fire" is less so by "attack/ability coding" than "infantry behavior coding".

Just regularly shooting at an enemy behind cover will often see it hiding back behind it's cover right away unless in direct control. It's part of how units are coded I think.

Also adds to the importance of cover for infantry, rather than "spam charges" in the open. At least, behind cover will infantry try not to get hit, once in a while.

A suppressive fire order just basically order your infantry to so fire at units in a particular area of effect on the purpose of trying to cause the enemy to "chicken out".
