I believe the Germans used this tactic against Poland before Britain ever started bombing German targets. It was not an attempt to compare the current conflict to that of WWII.

Sorry for the lack of information. The Earth, the Moon, every planet I have landed on, every hostile mzone I have landed in. I have never seen an enemy marine. I have been out of my CC attacking the base with my marines, and at times without them. Never once did an enemy ground unit fire on me or even acknowledge my presence. The air defense systems certainly respond. SAM and SAL batteries fire at me, and the bases launch fighters.

I have read elsewhere that people have noticed strange behavior from enemy marines and defensive forces while on foot in an enemy planetary base. Such things as once their AI marines are killed the enemy ignores them. In my experience, I have never seen an enemy marine on a planet. I have seen the SF Marines launched by stations, but when I personally beam down to an enemy base, or deploy marines and myself, no enemy marines or defensive forces appear to respond to our presence. I have searched through the forums but have not found anyone else with this specific observation. I'm curious if I have a setting wrong or if it's something to do with my driver configuration. Since updating my video drivers, my FPS weapons no longer fire at light speed. Though in the beginning I didn't really consider it a problem, seeing as it's very easy to destroy bases, but the lack of challenge is starting to show through now that I am a little more experienced. Has anyone else seen this happen? If so what do I do in order to have the enemy defend themselves planetside? [ 03-29-2002, 00:34: Message edited by: Quicksilver ]
