Wunsche Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I have a question/minor gripe. Still being a relatively new kid on the block, I have several times experienced tank crews bailing out UNDERNEATH their dead tank. The problem is that if enemy infantry advance, these boys are dead meat. Is there some trick to being able to click the crew underneath without clicking the dead tank instead? Or should I just resign myself to these crews huddling underneath their tanks?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjelinek Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Try going all the way down to ground level before clicking, might have to rotate to a different angle. If that fails keep pressing the + key, which takes you to the next friendly unit, until you get to the unit you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Try changing your view to 1 or 2 and make sure unit bases are turned on - the crew will have a base, the tank won't. At scale = "realistic" you should find that the crew base is reasonably easy to click on when you're eye-balling the area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Turn show vehicles off. It's shift-V on mac. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Shift-V is great. Another solution is to draw a box around the vehicle. Any still usable units will be selected. Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Shift V is really useful in getting troops out of halftracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 You can just hold 'n drag to select the tank crew, unless they're out of your control (in which case selecting them won't do much good anyway). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Havermeyer- Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 In Ops it's nice to put ambush zooks in abandoned vehicles. Specially if your opponent doesn't toggle vehicles (alt-v as mentioned) or play with bases (though even with bases it's hard to see the troop under the vehicle). Off topic, I know, but it bought me a crack Panther once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
