Cheers fellow Civil War enthusiasts,

I was just wondering if something like a "hit indicator" is planned to be introduced at some point? At the moment i find it incredibly hard and also kind of unsatisfying to judge wheter my shots hit anyone or if i am completely off-mark. Just a very slight "pulse" of an UI element to indicate that someone was hit by your shot (Not telling you if killed or just wounded) would feel incredibly satisfying imho.

I know it may slightly "break" immersion, but imho this falls under the category where you have to think about forgoing some authenticity to allow for "better" gameplay. It is a game after all, and i think the argument is to be made to make it fun first and foremost, and a historical battle-simulator second to that.

Best Greetings,

zerosius

Few steps:

1. Press T
2. Look at remaining enemy tickets
3. Aim
4. Shoot
5. Go back to step 1. and do it again

heh Nice answers
I /vote NO
The concept of a Team/Unit oriented game is not individual achievement but overall victory.
Not sure how many times I told my Troops that the ribbons on their chest are not as important as the patch on their shoulder.

We will add a delay soon, so you don't know, if you hit someone or not ;)

There are no plans to have any kind of indicators.

At 200 yards and an area full of smoke, the only "pink mist" you'll be seeing is the poor bastard next to you buying the farm.

No to any ingame indicators, but I would strongly prefer to have some kind of afterbattle summary, seeing how much hits I delivered. Seeing the statistics after the battle (round) does not hurt any "realism".

With wounds could you incorporate blood patches on superficial wounds, like arms and legs? Even perhaps having the player, when hit, looking at the fresh wound for a split second.
