rocketman Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Played my first CW scenarion with British airborne troops. What struck me as a bit strange was that HQ units are assigned PIATs. It's not like you will have HQ units hunting tanks or halftracks, right? Wouldn't it be more proper to have squads on the front line have the PIATs instead? Or was this some kind of prestige thing that the highest ranking soldiers had the biggest guns? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Such weapons were often assigned to the HQ as there they could be best directed by the platoon leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem in the game is that you can't split it off from the HQ unit, so you have to risk losing the CO if you want to go tank hunting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yea, I have to agree. It would be better to have the PIAT team separate from the HQ but directly under it for C2 purposes. Is this a scenario designer's option or is it like this organically in the editor? I'm at work now so I can't fire up CMBN to find out myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
