Col Deadmarsh Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 I noticed that on some tanks there is no mg total for a certain gun. For instance, on the King Tiger it says bow and coaxial mg. There is a (234) next to the coaxial but nothing next to the bow gun. Is this number a total number of rounds for both guns or is it just for the coaxial gun? If it's just for the coaxial, then how much is in the bow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 I guess that it would be...though I have never seen this happen. The Sherman only shows the coaxial gun as well... maybe its becuase that type of tank/tanks only have one MG ammo supply? I don't think thats the case but it could be.

Ellros Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 Yes, it's the total for all mg's in the hull/turret. AA mg's in Allied tanks or remote mg's in Axis have their own supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, when you say AA mg's in Allied tanks, I assume you are referring to the remote 50 cal flexible...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 BTW, has someone noted if the total ammo goes out at lower speed if one of the guns goes out. Another note, british Stuart has the same ammo loot for all three MG's. I love the sustained firepower.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever noticed that happen with a tank with a bow or coaxial gun because it always seems you have enough to last till the end of the game. But on those tanks which only have a remote flexible, those run out early and yet I can't remember if they stop firing the mg altogether or if it's just like the infantry where they fire only sporadically from that point on. Does somebody know the answer to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently had a PzIV start firing AP at a target (no HE left). I tried manually targeting, but it didn't allow me to target MG only because it had run out too. The tank fired all its AP for the next 3 turns and nothing else. BTW, like the Stuart, the M3A1 HT and Scout Car also have the all-in-one ammo thing going. Lots of long-lasting .30cal and .50cal action. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 i have never seen a tank shoot it's top machine gun after it read 0. this makes sense since it sez 0, not low... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
