Giving orders to defensive structures

Post by Asgorath »

I would like to have the possibility to tell my defensive structures which enemy they shall attack.
For example on the screenshot I would like my towers to attack the truck and not the oil derrick (otherwise the situation may never end if nobody will send some tanks^^).

Would be very great to have such an option :lecture:

Thank you in advance :)

Well, thats a beginning, but does not really help at all^^
Or shall I put a commander besides of every defense tower that is a little more far away from the others?

And it does not help in the beginning of the game where you do not own any tanks at all (okay, maybe some MP-tanks^^)

Commanders can only control artillery towers.

The problem here do not really reside in the mg tower commande but in the fact that you both look to have a truck to spare on that single little oil well.

They are too cheap, too fast and too expendable. That's the reason why there is buildings so close to each others.
