Xavier Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Hi, I have two little questions 1/ Why german tanks in CM don't have flexible MG ? 2/ If I have a tank which is firing HE rounds, and need suddenly an AP round. What happens in CM ? Does the reloading of the gun take more time to change the ammo? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 1) The configurations you find in CM are usually reflective of the majority of real-life cases. In other words, I don't think German tanks historically used flexible machineguns. A few doubtlessly did, but it was not usual. However, you will find that the enclosed assault guns such as the Sturmgeschutz and Hetzer do have a flexible MG42, because this was more common. Essentially it was for close defence, but in CM you can use it for offensive purposes. 2) A search would most certainly turn up a few discussions about this. My intuition tells me that CM does not model rounds in the breech, only the time it takes to load and fire a round once the need has been established.
