Guest teutonic Posted January 15, 2000 Share Posted January 15, 2000 Well I did a search and did not find what I was looking for. If it is out there and you know what terms to search under please let me know, thanks, otherwise: Is the ability to fire the bow machine gun at one target while firing the main gun at another target in the game?

Mark IV Posted January 15, 2000 Share Posted January 15, 2000 I don't think you target them independently yourself, though, if that was Teutonic's question? I've seen it too, but it was the TacAI doing the targeting in mid-turn. I think (at least in the demo) that you can only pick one target for the whole tank. If the turret is swivelled to one target and the bow gunner has an opportunity, the AI will engage both targets. If I'm wrong I'm missing a significant capability!

Eridani Posted January 15, 2000 Share Posted January 15, 2000 I have clearly seen on multiple occasions the hull mg and the turret mg targetting complete different units... one of the reasons I find shermans to be so devistating anti-infantry (if you can keep the 'schrecks away)... I don't believe there is any way to target each machinegun yourself, I think that is up to the tac AI -EridanMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teutonic Posted January 16, 2000 Share Posted January 16, 2000 Yes that is what i was asking.( I need a course in effective writing ) Thanks Teutonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 16, 2000 Share Posted January 16, 2000 Ok, here is the definitive answer (oh yeah, like I am capable of that! ). The TacAi will handle the bow mg's and any other attached weapon (such as the Nahvertdoohicky mounted on some German vehicles!) on tanks. You can only self-target the main gun and co-axial MG (if it has one). I am not certain if when the both the co-ax and main gun are damaged what happens when you target though, I will try and see if i can get this situation to occur...

guachi Posted January 16, 2000 Share Posted January 16, 2000 You can target without a co-ax or main gun. But as far as I can tell, it doesn't really do any good. It looks like the AI still targets the bow MG. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
