MikeE Posted January 5, 2001 Share Posted January 5, 2001 Today in a PBEM I got a Panther in a nice Hull Down position and the "bow MG blocked" followed the "Hull Down" text. I don't recall seeing this before or if I have I had not noticed it. I've seen lots of tanks hull down too. Is this something that's been added in a recent patch or have I just taken a long time to see it happen? Also I wonder if it shows if an enemy Hull Down tank has its bow MG blocked. Interesting.

Maximus Posted January 5, 2001 Share Posted January 5, 2001 No, this was a featured in either patch b22 or b23, can't remember which. 'Cause if you think about it, if your hull is "hull down" how could your hull-mounted bow MG fire? Co-axial still works though, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see a tank that has a bow MG fire after it gets a gun hit. I can understand the Gun hit disabling the coaxial MG, but shouldn't the bow MG still work.

Gremlin Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 It looks to me from a couple recent games like all guns are affected if the main one is, which, as you say, makes little sense. ------------------ War is cruel and you cannot refine it. --Sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall the tank, or what patch it was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 I too, through clever maneuvering, have succeeded in getting tank hull MGs blocked. Cool result, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Fox Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 This is new to me, though I knew something like it would come. It was most important for hull only AFVs since they could have los to a target but not be able to fire. Thanks Dan, now maybe I will know that my carriers can't fire ------------------ Muddying the waters as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
