markl Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I could use a couple of tips for getting my troops to ride on tanks. I have read the manual and always check to see if the vehicle and troops are compatible, but some times my troops go inside a tank never to be seen again. Some times I give a movement order to board a tank for e.g. 3 men. A mortar, spotter & HQ. Two will ride on the back and one enters the inside never to be seen again. Once I exit the outside riders I can only select the tank, not the poor sole inside. I then quit or reload and try to issue the order to one of them at a time. Two will mount and the other will just go to the road under the tank. I must be doing something wrong but cannot work it out.

klapton Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Only two units can be transported on a vehicle. If you have problems selecting units, switch to show vehicles off, select the unit, then switch to show vehicles on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 When you're ordering your men to climb onto the tank, you'll notice that as long as there is room, they will show "embark" when you put the waypoint onto the tank. If it's full, you only get "move". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Ampliflying klapton's advice: You may find it useful to toggle off the vehicle display with Shift-V in order to select the passengers. Don't forget to turn vehicle display back on afterwards, though. Being shot at by the enemy's invisible tanks is not fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markl Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 Thanks for the replies. The toggle vehicle is an idea I had not thought of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
