Chad Harrison Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 i have two suggestions/questions that i could not find on the search engine: shocked jeep MG: in CM2, will there be a way to make a small crewed vehicle (jeep MG) still fire a MG when its down to one crewman. i know thats a fine point, but if the vehicle wasnt moving, why not? we all know what a difference a 50cal could make against a late game rush! (vehicles like halftracts and those sorts) hero rider: another fine point, what would the possibility to have nearby infantry hop onto to a KO'd tank or a BU tank and fire the AA MG? yes they would have to be near fanatic to do it, but a US soldier (name?) got a medal of honor for doing it on a burning sherman. what are your thoughts? i think it would be a nice LITTLE detail to realism.

David Aitken Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I think Audie Murphy is the name you are looking for. I only know what I've read here, but the consensus seems to be that if the Germans hadn't been inexperienced troops, Murphy would have been toast. Such incidents are very much the exception to the rule and do not merit reflection in CM. There have been many such requests on this board using the actions of the odd hero as justification.

David Aitken Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 The Jeep MG example is the kind of thing that BTS will likely program at a later date, probably when they redo the engine after CM2. Another example is mortar and bazooka teams technically having sidearms but being unable to use them for self-defense, although this is partly to prevent trained crews from being used as regular infantry, and partly because some weapons teams are abstracted and should realistically be kept strictly with their platoons.

YES they are an AT team, but IMHO they should ATLEAST have somekind of self defense for that role. i know the zook teams had carbines with them, hey atleast a m1911!! BTS can we expect to see this in CM2 or a latter eddition? PLEASE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
