securityguard Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I was playing against my friend and he had 76mm guns on hills, maybe 450m out or so. They expend their ammo and begin shooting buck shot - commonly used in tanks at about 100m or so. Anyways, they launch the shot up into the sky, much like a mortar. I've never seen this before, and I can't imagine it being too effective (certainly wasn't ingame). Did they do this often in real life? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer76 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 No. Lack of ammo was the only reason for doing so in game, had this been done in RL they would prolly be reprimaded for wasting C ammo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securityguard Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 Thats what I thought. I personally thought it was weird because even when I force my tanks to use canister, they refuse to unless they're in a certain range. It was very suprising to see them launch it like rain from across the map. You couldn't really even see it land, it would get so spread out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you force shot type in CM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpwase Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Maybe BFC thought it would be funny. No, really, how the hell is that meant to do anything? You'd be better off just firing it normally, at least that might do some damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphus Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I saw this too, and I must say it looked very pretty, the way it rained down on enemy positions like metal hailstones. But of course it couldn't have done much damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
