Juardis Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 At least as far as I've noticed that is. Was playing with 1.1b24 tonight when I noticed that one of my units was firing at an enemy infantry unit. I knew this because of the tracer fire. However, I did not see any target lines emanating from any of my units. I traced the tracers back to my Sherman. Apparently, and someone feel free to correct me here, you cannot tell where a tank is firing using the target lines if the tank is using it's turret mounted 50. I would use target lines drawn to my units to see who the hell was target me. No longer if an enemy tank is using his ma deuce. Gotta love the subtle nuances of this game. Life just keeps on getting better. ------------------ Jeff Abbott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael emrys Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 I noticed something similar today, except it effected not only tanks, but apparently some infantry units too. I had several units firing at an enemy unit and had clicked on the enemy unit to see how they were taking it. There were yellow lines going back to most of my units, but I also saw tracer coming in on a trajectory that wasn't covered by a yellow line. This happened several times. Now the kicker is that I am still using 1.05! So this may have been in for a while but I never noticed it before.

Olle Petersson Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 The "feature" isn't limited to the flex MG on tanks either, but also applies to the bow MGs. Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
