Can we purchase the M4A2 76mm in june 1944 for QBs ? Can we fire the mortar from inside the 251/2 when the FR module is released ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I thought I had mortars firing from within the 251/2s in RT the other day, but today not - except oddly for smoke, which they can fire from within? So perhaps I was mistaken. They do fire okay in FI, BN and FB, so is it the (so far) missing patch for RT that is the difference? Will try again...

akd Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Are you targeting directly with the vehicle? If you want to fire direct, you need to target with the mounted mortar team. Although I forgot that RT is still pending the last patch, so that might be the issue. That said, it is working in the current version, but is not intended as a feature of the module as far as I know, but of the engine upgrade.

If you want to fire direct, you need to target with the mounted mortar team. Targeting with the vehicle, the smoke option is there but greyed out and there are no other fire options. With the mounted mortar team I can fire smoke, but nothing else (which seems a bit odd). It also says the mortar is not deployed and I can dismount the team, so it looks like they passengers, apart from being able to fire smoke. One of the 251/2s also has an HQ team on board... This is just in RT, not the other WW2 titles. Edited February 9, 2021 by Vacilllator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought everyone was being optimistic about it already working in CMRT. The fix is in the patch though as @akd said. I confirmed that firing from the HT works and is only slightly slower than dismounted when used directly (some minutes they fire the same number of rounds and some one or two less). There is no target light from mounted mortar teams. I don't think that's right and I'll report it but I doubt that it is a fix that will get into the next release but that's just a guess. Rats I didn't look at smoke. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's in the patch that's great. I can certainly live with what you describe. Dare I say it's not the end of the world in any case . As for currently being able to only fire smoke on-board, it seems a bit odd to me, but if the patch opens up the other on-board fire options it won't be any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see a post from one of the old time gang. To confirm what has already been said about mortar firing vehicles in CMRT. Engine 4 provided the code support for them to work, but it also required a TO&E overhaul. It's odd that I didn't fix that way back when, so not quite sure what happened there. However, it certainly will be fixed with the patch that comes along with the Module. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ts4EVER Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I think I may have asked this before, but: Will the G41 from FI be added as well? It is not in the TOE list, but then again, it isn't even in the R2V manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to believe that it may be caused by a oblivion or mistake, this happened in some previous modules. I believe that a release of module manual would resolve certain doubts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probus Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I've been playing a bit of Black Sea and Final Blitzkrieg. Something just... POPS about those games that sets them apart from the others. Is it my imagination or is something different with the engine/graphics? Will this update to Red Thunder make the same difference, make the game POP visually? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I proudly pre-ordered under the "BFC Diamond Club Option" which includes the 3 day all you can eat and drink weekend in Maine as well as the 1 hour combo ride/romp through the snowy fields in Steve's Weasel driven by Svetlana the semi-clad intern.
