Ithai Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Can you tell your tanks and outher armour units what to fire? I tried to search for this answer but to no avail. So is there a way or will it be a final feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 No, you can not select the shell type. Because the turn is hands off for 60 seconds it would be a bad idea to require the vehicle to fire a specific shell type. Instead, the loaders follow standard proceedures -> AP against armor, HE against soft, special stuff against REALLY tough armor. Variations depending on ammo levels (i.e. will use AP if no HE for soft targets, will use HE if AP is short and HE might do the trick).

SimonFox Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Yea, no matter how many times I order the M18s to fire smoke in front of the Tiger they insist on engaging it frontally with ping-pong AP and screaming "no you idiots smoke it to make it move then hit it in the side" at the moniter doesn't seem to work either. Now I just hope there is a StuG in front of it to produce a smoke screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Just a comment. 1. Are you SURE they have LOS to where you are targeting smoke? 2. Are you sure the hellcat has smoke rounds left 3. If the answer is yes send me the autosave please ok? ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithai Posted November 5, 1999 Author Share Posted November 5, 1999 Thanks for the info. My hellcats seem to be stupid. They always fire he at the tiger. Granted last nights assault on the tiger was beautiful. I was still wondering why they were using he instead of ap. Granted they wrere firing at the front of the tiger. Does this have anything to do with using he instead of ap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Clinton Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Anyone: I am sure this has been covered but in camp. games. How will ammo resupply be handled? For example: If if fire off all of my tungsten ammo in the first battle will it be in short supply/gone in the next battle? ------------------ The Grumbling Grognard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
