FroBodine Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Newbie running through the tutorial. It talks about the Bradleys having TOW ATGMs, and the Abrams having airburst capable shells. Do you have to give any special commands to get a vehicle/tank/infantry to fire their ATGMs (or any special weapon) as opposed to just their machine guns or cannon, or will they fire them automatically as needed? I would have the same question for man-portable weapons. Very newbie question, I know. I feel shame.

panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Nope. The unit's AI chooses the best weapon for the job. Abrams sees a tank, it's sabot time. Sees an infantry squad, time for airburst, etc etc. There's some commands that prioritize certain weapons use, but for just the very basic "fire ATGM at tank" stuff, the squad/vehicle does it for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehot78 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Playing CMBS I found myself several times wishing I could in fact decide which weapon to use. Normally I would had picked ATGMs over other kinds of weapon systems. Had also cases in which I really wanted specialized ATGMs teams to engage in-building infantry with their missiles, tried both area and point fire but they just used ARs. I would think it's not very realistic as, afaik, on modern battlefields ATGMs are employed against pretty much everything, while in BS their carriers seems to be a little conservative with them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember ATGM's have an minimum arming distance that needs to be reached. If that building is to close than trying to use the ATGM's will not work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
