BadgerDog Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have a unit that was permitted to use mortars. Fire mission was set up and waiting time began. For whatever reason, when spotting time appeared on the screen, it also added "Denied" and now I have no mortar barrage and nobody else can use the mortars (off map type), because they're busy with my denied spotter. Is this a known bug? Regards, Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Did the platoon HQ just take casualties? Can you send me a save? If so, PM me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDog Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 He is the platoon leader ... Still alive and sitting in his carrier having a beer and wondering WTF is up with the mortar team ... Regards, Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Platoon HQ is a unit, not a "he," and can continue to exist if the commander is killed. Has this unit taken casualties? Looks to me like it has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 IIRC within a spotting unit, whether an HQ or FO, there is only one guy who actually knows how to do the job. If that particular man is OOA, that unit can no longer spot for arty. (Also, if he happens to be an actual platoon leader, that platoon no longer has any C2 to its HQ.) The bug is that if the spotter man is OOA and an arty call that he made is in progress, there is no way to cancel the strike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
