chiavarm Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 It appears That when the main gun is "taken out" that the machine gun do no tfunction either? I would think that the bow machine gun would still be usable. Is this the case or am I mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Thorne Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 IIRC if the unit has bow MG it should work, but in some AFVs it is mounted in the turret so I guess in those vehicles the MG doesn´t work after the main gun in the turret is damaged. Hopefully someone coorects me if I am totally wrong. -LT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaud Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 A 'gun hit' disables the main gun in addition to the coaxial MG. Think of a gun hit as a jammed turret traverse or main gun elevation. Since the coax is generally fixed to the main gun mount, damaging either takes out the coax as well. To tell you the truth I can't recall if a turret mounted AA MG or a rear-facing ball-mount turret MG (such as on the KV1) will continue to function after a 'gun hit'. My guess is the AA MG will function (with cmdr unbuttoned of course), but any rear-facing MG will not. In any case, hull mounted machine guns will still function after a 'gun hit'.
