Bulletpoint Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The StuG used to have a problem where the crewmemebers would poke a bit through the vehicle, so that they could be hit by small arms fire. I think the American M8 Scout Car has the same problem, as I just lost two crewmembers that should have been inside the hull: the radio operator and the driver, both killed to MG fire from 6-800 metre distance. I know the M8 is not a tank, but there was not a single "penetration" message.The vehicle was unbuttoned at the time, but the only crewmember shown poking his head out is the commander, and he survived.So, either it seems there's the StuG bug, or that the driver and radio operator are in fact also opening their hatches, even though this is not shown in the game?I have a save game if anyone would like to take a look at it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletpoint Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I did some more testing of this, the driver of the M8 armoured car can also get killed by small arms fire while the vehicle is buttoned. Only seen this at short range, but there's still no "penetration" message, so I don't see how it could happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHarry Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just had seen something similar with the Stug IIIG Mid version. The crew was buttoned up as well as a hail of GI small arms fire hit the skirts and then killed 2 crew members...somehow. It was already suspicious that the US infantry kept on pouring small arms fire on the buttoned up Stug, as normally infantry would only fire away at enemy armor freely, when crew members poke their heads out. There was also no penetration hit text, nor hit decals. Just the Stugs skirts were noted to be hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just ran an Stug III G mid around with a tight covered arc by some US infantry and did a full circuit. Not a round fired. Doesn't appear to be a modeling issue with anything sticking outside the vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHarry Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I forgot to make a save game. In case it happens again (in a WIP mission that I test play daily), I´ll let you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
