z1812 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Is anyone else finding machine guns take a lot of time to set up in buildings? In my current PBEM, I moved 3 medium MGs into position. 2 in woods and 1 other into a building 2 turns earlier. The ones in the woods set up within 2 turns. The one in the building still is not set up after 4 turns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This is normal. The time delay for a setup of a heavy or medium weapon is factored in. It is an approximation. It is expected that it will be challenging to find the proper platform, such as a table or chair, etc., to put the machine gun on to have it situated properly to point out of a window or some other opening. All of the other Combat Mission titles handle this the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It should take two full turns (2 min) in buildings. There is a not fully resolved bug that sometimes causes MGs to enter into a deploying loop where they reach the end of the 2 min cycle, then start over again. If this is what you are seeing, please post a save or PM me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep an eye on this and post again if I encounter the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy to let us use his shoulder as the tripod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy02m Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Random thought, but if I send a MG team into a building and they enter their lengthy setup period, if they engaged someone does it reset or slowdown the setup time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thought, however, mine was not engaging, or engaged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that they engage while setting up at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1812 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have been playing a PBEM. I put 2 MG's in the top floor of a 5 story building. They were taking forever to set up. I moved one to the 4th floor. At the same time I had 2 small teams on the move. One to the 5 th floor and the other to the fourth floor of the same building. With all the teams and the MG's in place they still did not set up. So then I moved the Non MG teams to different floors so the MG's were completely alone on different floors. By the end of the next move they had both set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Building floors only have so many spaces where you can fire out from in any given direction. If there was no space left for the MG to see out, I can imagine it wouldn't set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I put MG's in buildings I will give them their own floor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The next time I put MG's in buildings I will give them their own floor. And have them deploy first before more troops move into the same room? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
