[:1]So after doing a lot of research in various topics here on the forum, and also on the Supcom Wikia site, it appears that units are traveling much faster than is realistic.
From what I understand...
1 SupCom unit of measure equals about 19.53 meters or 64.0748 feet
Therefore, about 82.4037 SupCom units equals a mile
Let's take the UEF T1 Engineer
Max Speed = 1.9 Sup Com Units = 37.1 meters per second = 121.7 feet per second = 83 miles per hour
For my WWII Conversion, the fastest unit in the game, the Me-262 Jet Fighter travels at 559 mph, while an average speed tank is the Panzer IV that travels at 27 mph.
This would make the units have the following SupCom speeds:
*Me-262 = 12.7955
*Panzer IV = 0.61803 on a 5 km map it would take almost 7 minutes to go from one end to the other
I have a few questions...
1) Am I understanding all of this correctly?
2) Is it done so that games do not take forever with units traveling?
3) Is it realistic to change unit speeds to reflect correct speeds without ruining the game?|||pap1723|||Thanks Mithy, your post has helped me out, but now of course I am running into other mesh and model dimension problems.
