I've used that command with mortars, but never with panzerfausts.

Thank you. I thought so, but haven't actually tried it despite playing the game so long.

I see that my halftracks carry Panzerfausts. Do the halftracks use them themselves or are they somehow for infantry to use?

True. However, with the possibility of the enemy wading towards you over the water it'd be like shooting ducks.

So it's not possible to order them to fire? Not even after firing all shells. Quite ridiculous. I could use my crew right now...

How do I get mortar crews to use their handguns? They're out of ammo but I can't seem to make them fire theire rifles. What am I doing wrong?

Never mind. I found the fix myself. All graphics settings were reset after my update.

I always play with the tree setting at "nearby trunks". However, all of sudden the are not covered with trees have gotten much bigger and the visible area smaller. Does anyone have a clue why this is? I upgraded to 2.12 not too long ago. Did something change with the settings with that update or can it be something else?

@RockinHarryThank you!

I don't know if it's me searching badly, but I haven't seen a readme or a changelist for update 2.12. What's new? I went from 2.02 also, so my PBEM friend and I have missed all patches after 2.02.

Still nothing, two turns later. I might as well use them as regular mortars.

I went back till the turn they arrived. They were "not deployed" to begin with and with the deploy button greyed out. Just as it is now after re-embarking.

I don't think that message was aimed at me?

Yes, it does, and the "deploy weapon"-button is greyed out.

I've moved the mortar teams back on board, but I can't use them. Not indirectly, nor directly. What am I doing wrong? I've even waited an entire turn since they embarked. When I click a spotter it says "not positioned".

I meant in-game. That's mostly because I've never seen them before, I guess.

That sounds weird. I've never had them before and I don't quite see the point either, considering how tricky they seem to be to use.

OK, thanks.

@Redwolf@Vacilllator OK, so there has to be a mortar team inside the HT? Not just any team like the machine guns? I dismounted the mortars since I didn't realise it was a special kind of halftrack. Seems like a mistake now, but I'll try remounting as soon as I can. (I play PBEM). It's the Studienka scenario. they don't arrive until quite late, I'm afraid. Thank you both.

Do I need to have any particular kind of unit on board or give a special kind of order?

Can someone please explain how to use them? I can give a fire order to the vehicle. Not when there's a unit on board, not when it's empty. It's not visible when I try using artillery from an HQ unit either.

I'm not talking a few trees, but areas of woods where shots get through with extreme precision. But, like Vanir said above I guess it's just something we have to accept, even though I feel it's something Battlefront should address.

I know what that is and also it was rhetorical when saying "anything, anywhere". My point are the amazing shots between trees 100 m through a forest, and so on. Placing a tank in decent cover is useless, since there hardly is any cover. But they do hit more often than not.

I'm playing WW2 and have never played any other version, but yes, of course both sides benefit. I've always believed this game to be the best/most realistic tactical game available and these things just make me disappointed.

So it seems, but why would they want a design where you can fire straight through tanks?
