Squad Leader Archive

Hey Hey all,

I have up to mobility III. I roll around with the same crew pretty much all the time. I have noticed that when I am running point I run remakably faster then all of them. When I am following one of them I stay within 5 m of them.

Now that wouldn't be so weird if I was a ranger or something, and they didn't have terrain negotiation from scout, but we all should be equally fast. We are not however. I have to constantly stop and wait for them. Is terrain negotiation not working and just giving the bonus to the Squad Leader, or is it just me?

It works.

It's just you.

You might be experiencing a follow chain. Sometimes people don't really follow the leader but another group member, and the another group member follows them, so you get a big follow chain.

Have everyone follow on you,including the pets with the follow other command. It should make your group much more compact ( avoid aggros ) and keep everyone running with you.

cool thanks for the info!

I have also seen that many party members dont have exploration. your exploration 4 plus SL will still give you more speed than most classes w/o scout. When I group (I also have mobility 3), I will af on someone who is slower than myself, preferably the slowest medic . This does minimize the chaining as well as you are not arguably the fastest one.

Just you. Server/client lag.

Isn't the max on terrain negotiation +50 anyways? 51-100 is for prone movement.

So in theory a SL with mob III should have a group that all traverse the terrain equally well, but have somepeople with exceptional prone movement if they have scout skills.

I run faster than everybody almost all the time no matter what; if I'm in a group or not. For the most part(yes it does depend on terrain negotiation) it has to do with how fast YOUR PC is. I mean, if you have low frame rates then you have a slower connection, simply because of the fact that your PC is having a hard enough time to compute the graphics, let alnoe the information it gets from the server. Which also means that if you have a faster connection than someone else you will move faster. I think it's great, personally, because I can run away from nearly anyone and I actually built a PC that shows it's power.
