Bimmer Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 *MILD SPOILER* Playing Beyond the Belice PBEM, I have the Italians. I've noticed that my AS42 (AA) seems to turn the entire vehicle in order to employ the 20mm AA gun. The gun appears to be on a 360 swivel mount; this makes sense, as it would be a pretty useless AA platform if the gun were fixed forward. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I should note that one of the crew was taken out, so it's down to three men. I can't imagine that this would be a factor, but I could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boche Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I believe you can solve this problem if you just give the vehicle a huge 360 cover arc that covers the entire map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I believe you can solve this problem if you just give the vehicle a huge 360 cover arc that covers the entire map. Have you tried that? Because a cover arc only defines the area in which targets may be engaged, which by default is everything. A cover arc that covers everything shouldn't mean anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Did a little testing. The AA mount seems to have very limited (maybe 10-20 degrees) traverse. This seems very odd for an AA mount. Does anyone have any specific insight on this vehicle's design to confirm or deny that this was actually the way the mount worked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 AFAIK, the AA guns were mounted on these recce vehicles for use in direct fire support, not for AA defense. I would not be surprised if the mounting lost full traverse in the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sorry to revive this, but I just noticed something interesting. One of the vehicles shown in the splash screens that comes up while a scenario is loading is an AS42 (AA) - the 20mm AA gun mount is rotated considerably further than it is capable of moving in the game. As these graphics appear to be stills of the in-game models, I'm back to thinking something might be bugged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
