Pelide Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hallo. Trying to give the Fallschirmjager their sidearms, since they are hopelessly lost in melee against british Paratroopers without them. Is there a way to issue weapons to certain troops? Cheers and thanks alot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Is there a way to issue weapons to certain troops? The weapons carried are hard coded by the game so the answer is no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelide Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 aw damn. Thanks for the Info! That sucks, since thats what they get pistols for, to do not have to use their mausers in melee. thanks ASL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 That sucks, since thats what they get pistols for, to do not have to use their mausers in melee. Are you sure about that? I understood that they got pistols as a way of mitigating the absurd weapons bundles the Germans used when conducting airborne ops. With a pistol on their hip they'd have at least something until they could find and recover a bundle somewhere in the DZ. But they didn't conduct many drops in Italy (yes, I know; Primasole Bridge. One (1) != many) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yes, the pistols were the FJ troops' preferred weapon in drops because they couldn't carry their larger weapons on the descent. They were standard issue to all ranks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt they would have given their pistols up just because they stopped jumping out of airplanes once they were in Italy and NW Europe -- CMFI really ought to have given them pistols in Italy (and in CMBN once that game has them too). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Actually, my FJs in a recent battle were pulling out pistols quite a bit...but I think they were weapon teams, mostly, but I am sure at close quarters a few jaegers pulled them out too. I 'll have to keep my eyes open next time I use them...which will be mostly forever and ever from CMGL on.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Can't tell whether these men have sidearms, since one favored configuration seemed to be wearing the holster and the left and using a crossdraw technique. Interestingly, these guys in Normandy have Beretta SMGs! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-680-8257-16,_Frankreich,_Soldat_in_Deckung_hinter_Hecke.jpg By contrast, the FJ here are carrying pistols (several closed holsters visible). If the caption's to be believed, these are also at Normandy. http://www.bluegrayrelics.com/sold.html Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
