Wayne Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 I was curious to know if doing the Char bis tank with two main weapons is going to be a problem in coding for the upcoming games? I believe the Russians had several tanks with two main guns and there will be the American/British Grant/Lee tanks to model. ------------------ Blessed be the Lord my strength who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

On Topic: I wonder how those tanks with multiple guns will work. Will you be able to target with both of them? Or will it be more like the lesser gun fires when the TAC AI feels like it? Like a bow machine gun firing when the main gun is told to target something else. Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 IMO they will support multiple gun fire in differnt directions, because they already do that. Tanks can fire their main guns into one, and their MG into another direction. I guess it make no problem to adapt that for bigger guns. Of course it's another question if you can give fire orders for the single guns. IMO that's a decision of the tank commander (TAC-AI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 In the case of the M3, hull down will become a lot more interesting. If you go hull down, your main weapon is blocked, and the 37mm gun had a lot of trouble penetrating the increased armor of the later pz IVs. However, if you do not, you are are a very large target. M3 crews were never really able to solve this dillema, and were quite glad to recieve shermans when they became avalible. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.
