Col Deadmarsh Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 When you unlimber a gun from the vehicle that was hauling it, can it be moved by men after that or does it set up right where the vehicle stopped? If I want to move a gun into a treeline, I obviously can't move the vehicle there first and unlimber, so how do I get the gun in there? ------------------ Youth is wasted on the young.

Cwhit21 Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Yeah most guns do move but very slowly so its unloaded then moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 I believe all but the heaviest guns can move very slowly. When you look at the unit data screen it will indicate the unit's movement speed. Guns usually have a "Very Slow" speed. Therefore, you want to unlimber them as close to their final destination as you possibly can. You also want to unlimber and adjust their position under good cover. A gun that is unlimbered under enmy fire is probably not going to live long enough to fire a single shot. I recall reading in this forum that the large guns such as the 88 can't be set up once the game has begun due to time contraints. They have to be positioned at the start of a battle.

They can't embark once the battle starts, but they can be embarked on at Gun tracktor at the beginning, and then disembark somewhere, but it does take them 8 minutes to unlimber ------------------ Charlie don't Surf shadow@jagdtiger.de <A HREF="http://www.orbitonline.ca/~Shadow/index.html " TARGET=_blank>http://www.orbitonline.ca/~Shadow/index.html </A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
