Eric Sherritt Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 I had expended all the mortar ammo on my Bison Mortar carrier and planned to use the C6 machine guns to help out my dismounted troops. However the Bisons never engaged with their C6's. Same with a Coyote recce LAV. After all the 25mm and 7.62mm coax were expended the other C6 did not engage? Am I doing something wrong? Please explain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaRich Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 I would be sure and try to resupply at that point. If not possible I would get my troops back onto a transport and get them out of there fast. Sometimes the individual combat team scenarios provide ammo trucks that might help in the resupply process, but I don't know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MajorH Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 I just did several experiments and the pintle mounted 7.62 engaged OK from the vehicles you mentioned. As a pintle mounted, roof top, weapon, it is less accurate than the turret mounted coax machine guns so it may not get a useful firing solution unless the vehicle is much closer to the infantry targets than would be required for the 25mm and the coax 7.62. Also ... the roof mounted 7.62 on these vehicles is an exposed weapon (i.e. no armor protection) so if the vehicle has received direct or indirect fire lately and is still suppressed then the roof mounted gun is not going to fire. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Belles Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 Speaking of Bison mortar carriers... (I mentioned something similar to this earlier)I haven't tried it, but could I take a Bison into combat like the Russians do with their artillery and have it fire during the combat phase? Or is this against Western army doctrine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MajorH Posted November 25, 2000 Share Posted November 25, 2000 You can do this inTacOps. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaRich Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 I have found Major Belles' idea to be an excellent one in my own gaming. It is really great how the Bison can both target and shoot on its own without the player setting the TRPs or constantly resetting the target range. I guess this wouldn't work with a Paladin, however. Great Game, MajorH! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
