kohlenklau Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I searched a bit but didn't stumble upon the answer... I have a pak40 and had the crew hump it over to a new spot with a blue line and ended that final waypoint by facing the gun and depressing deployment. They seem to be there and it just says spotting and no deploying and gun still says limbered! Seems to have been a few turns... Come on already, set it up!!! What did I do wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have been noticing that manned guns do not have tell you when they are setting up. The activity string is supposed to show setting up but instead it just stays at spotting. So, far all has been well and after a time they setup. Just make sure they are done with any movement order and the Deploy Weapon is down in the special menu and they will setup. I think, I believe. I hope. I keep meaning to actually set this up and verify it so I can report it and I keep forgetting. Maybe this time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I will advise and report back here on what happens if they survive! Thanks Ian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 They seem to do everything faster if you let them deploy, then give the facing command, in my experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yeah, that makes better sense! LOL, this was a QB that I goofed up and thought was gonna be me as defender in a town but it was an ME instead so I am scrambling these guns up a hill on a road and into some brush in town. OK, scrambling is not the word. Meandering slowly up the cobblestones like an after dinner stroll is their speed. But they made it and now 1 is limbered in the brush looking down the road and the other ended up partly in a house. I guess we'll see if it deploys in there with good LOS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I noticed that the crew does say packing up when one is trying to limber an ATG. Interesting if it doesn't work the other way; I'd be as confused about it as you, Kohl. Edited May 7, 2015 by Bud_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 OK, one ATG is now deployed after the crew moved it and their actions never said deploying so I guess that confirms it. Actions just said spotting while it sat their "limbered".... Thanks guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have noticed that guns do not say deploying as well, in cmbn and while they do, it can be confusing if you don't get the text confirming it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yep, they just sat there limbered and at the start of the next turn I noticed they were deployed with the trails in the spread position. Maybe the actual transition event/animation happened during the previous turn but I did not notice. But the point of this thread: for German Pak40 crew is deploying the gun but it doesn't say deploying. so, relax and standby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbump2 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just as a confirmation, I had a Soviet 57MM AT gun do the same thing. So it appears this is the method for all units of this class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
