LukeFF Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 In a PBEM match I'm playing, I had a Panther take a frontal hit from a 57mm AT gun that was registered as a hit on the weapon ("Weapon" was all it said). The damage screen showed the 75mm main gun has having a big red X next to it but no other damage. However, when I plotted my orders for the next turn, I found I could give targeting orders for the main gun but could not give Target Light orders for the MGs, even though they are shown as being undamaged. Is this some sort of bug or error? I have the save file if it helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwabie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ..with main gun offline 'target' means the tank will just shoot the MG and therefore 'target light' no longer exists 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ..with main gun offline 'target' means the tank will just shoot the MG and therefore 'target light' no longer exists Yes, I've just had something similar happen to me in a game in Red Thunder and the MG does indeed fire for Target and Target Light is greyed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 "Target" means fire what you've got. "Target Light" means fire everything except your big stuff. If your big stuff is busted, missing, or was just never there, then "Target Light" is non-sensical. "Target" means fire what you've got, which is just your machineguns in this case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 WOW I dont know if I should be impressed or not impressed in that it has taken you this long to have that event happen to you in the game and have to learn how the game engine functions. I recall learning it by watching my tank fire MG's at enemy tank until it was destroyed by them. That was a quick lession in understanding that a red X means what it said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Skwabie, c3k, Baneman - thanks, now I know. I've not ran the next turn yet, so I didn't know what to expect from this tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
