SP units and Direct Control

[Papa John]

The DC obviously needs to be changed back. If this does not happen, I want a refund. On to my next point, will SP units be added soon or in the near future?

[Rokko]

if you mean a single player campaign,missions..then yes.

the deluxe version of the game gets to play the missions as they are still work in progress and unfinished, the normal version gets them on the official release date

[Papa John]

sigh. SP is special point units... like from men of war assault squad 2... so no, not singleplayer.

There will be no SP units and i don't see reason for them to be, this is not MoW + SP is just poorly balanced extension to unit shop that have no reason to exist, I rather have all units cost MP without any BS that SP extension add

[Max Barrage]

SP or not, I just had a game today with no DC function. Tried using the new DC that locks you into the units and I must say, it is a sad sad day. 11 years of history gone backwards.

just hold Left CTRL when a vehicle is selected and you can Direct Control old style.

no you can't. they took it out. it was an oversight and its been "corrected"

The game will die if DC isnt reverted back, it is such a struggle to kill anything with new third person and is not a feature this game needs, and definately no one wants it.

Please be as vocal as possible, the devs might eventually come to their senses if you do such.

I do not want this game to die, but sadly if they continue down this road it will.

Self propelled and M777A2s would be a cool addition if it could work.

Speak for yourself, I prefer the new DC

I disagree, I just think CtA needs the other factions (Germany/Russia etc) before it can really take off and establish a dedicated playerbase.

Frustration about lack of factions/unit variety has been the biggest complaint I think.

But as we know plenty of content is in the works so all is looking good!

lol i don't what you are talking about. The new direct control is almost fully functional shooting feature like the one you see in a typical first person shooter game. The new direct control has made it extremely easy to orient your soldier (to move, to aim), thusincreasing the accuracy, compared to the old one. With the old one, you can't move and shoot at the same time (it is extremely difficult to orient your soldier)
