CMSF v1.20 FEATURES

Below is a brief list of some of the new v1.20 game features.

  • "Pop Smoke" can now be aimed using the Face Command or current unit facing. The smoke will not fire until an existing Face Command is executed.
  • Floating icons for friendly units now briefly blink after sustaining a casualty.
  • Some units (currently just the Challenger 2 MBT and 51mm Light mortar, available ONLY as part of the British Forces Module) are capable of firing smoke ammunition. This is  achieved by use of the new Target Smoke command or hotkey.
  • Spotters for indirect support weapons as well as on-map mortars (currently just the 51mm Light mortar available ONLY as part of the British Forces Module) are now able to target areas slightly outside of direct LOS under certain circumstances, such as when firing indirectly over a tall wall or just behind the crest of a hill.
