tooz Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Okay, why won't my Russian mortar spotter (82 mm) embark in ANY vehicle. He is a Transport Class 1. I have trucks that are transport class 8. According to the manual (yes, I have read it), vehicles can transport units with a transport class equal or less than. Uh, isn't 1 less than 8? :confused: I have tried different trucks, even halftracks but he seems to see "that's all right comrade, I'll walk." :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDork Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Chances are that your spotter does not have a radio. If that's the case then he is unable to get in a vehicle because he needs to lay down phoneline as he moves so that he can be in contact with the battery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Interesting, Big Dork. Do ANY Russian arty spotters have radios in the game or is this up to the battle/op designer? Thanks for the quick reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The ones where it says 'radio' in the unit list next to them, do have radios. Surprisingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Andreas, the Russian spotter that refuses rides has that "radio" label. That's what's confusing the hell out of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't answer it therefore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarker Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Tooz - does he have a fire order in the works, or a first turn barrage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I'm fairly sure that you can mount up an FO with a fire order. The only thing I can think of is that the trucks/HTs are already full (two teams or a squad and a 2 man team) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I don't mean to be blatantly obvious, but - - is there someone already in the truck? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabpub Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Even more blatently obvious, is the truck stopped? Our pixel soldiers have trouble getting on/off moving vehicles; no matter how slow they are going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Truck is empty and stopped, spotter has no orders--except for "move" but no matter where I position my curser I cannot get that "embark" order. If I try other units they get that order without difficulty. I also talked to the designer of the op and he assures me that this guy is carrying a radio and NOT a field phone. Oh well, thanks for the help and suggestions, but this guy insists on walking. :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Lest I forget, no other unit has an embarking order with that truck. I have also tried another empty truck and this guy still doesn't embark. Meanwhile my guys are getting ripped apart where the arty support is needed. Sigh. :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Sounds like a problem that needs to be sent to BTS for their perusal!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoppex Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Well, I also had that problem but wasn´t able to manage it. I mean, on the one hand it is rather unusual to move a FO in a truck but on the other hand it should be possible. In other scenarios I played I had no problems with that ( even if it was a light armoured tracked vihicle). I do believe it´s one of these bugs in this game ( the best one I have ever seen was a PzII Luchs carrying a whole Panzergrenadier unit - although I have to say that this only happened once). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Originally posted by Michael Emrys: Have you ever provoked a wizard to anger? Michael LOL. Do not meddle in the affairs of truck drivers, for they are subtle and quick to anger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Moon, nope, my truck is fine, in good order. I have even tried another truck, then another halftrack. No luck in getting the cherished "embark" order. Amazing, and frustrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Tooz, you may well have an honest gripe here, but I keep getting the strong hunch that there is something about this FO that you are overlooking. What's his morale state? I do hope you will send a saved turn showing the problem to someone at BFC.

MAUS_TD Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I wonder if your FO has a car sickness so maybe if you give him some pills he'll get in, or he just is in training for the marathon of NY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscript Bagger Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Originally posted by Bone_Vulture: So much... poor humor... Condensed to a single thread. True, but it also reminds me of what happens when you pop your hood in a parking lot - from nowhere, several well-meaning folks appear, rolling up their sleeves and poking around the engine just because they want to help. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 You mean, roll up their sleeves and make bad jokes like, "the engine won't start huh? Maybe it's a beta!"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
