Kalzun Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi! Excuse me, but I'm very new on these forums (and pretty new to the game) and don't know if this has been answered many times before, I couldn't find it. It seems that the "Gun damaged" applies to both the main-gun AND the MG's on the tank. Is this right? None of my crew is dead (in a t-34) so supposedly the MG should be able to fire, or? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Welcome to the forums! IIRC, Gun Damaged takes out the Main Gun, and Coaxial MG, if any. If the Tank has other MGs -- Bow, Flex Mount, etc., they remain functional. Keep in mind that these other MGs can't be directly targetted by the player, though -- they're under control of the Unit AI only. So you won't see the red target line, and you can't issue a target order -- you'll just see the outbound tracers, and the ammo count going down if the AI decides to fire on a target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. I don't remember a hull MG firing on any "gun damaged" tank that I can recall. It had gotten to the point that I'd either run them off the board in a battle to save the points, or use them as decoys. Obviously my mistake. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Posted by Luftwolf at the webob forums: Re: MG fire from gun-damaged tanks? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A tank with it's gun damaged, won't fire the coaxial, but will still fire the bow. A tank with a crew casualty won't fire it's bow. A tank with gun damage and a crew casualty will just sit there looking ugly. At least, that's what I seem to remember from our discussion a while back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalzun Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Thank you very much for your answers. T-34 has bow-gun, but as you said, it wouldn't follow my orders when I target enemies. And it wouldn't move if I issued the Hunt-order. It didn't get up front to the shooting, so I cannot confirm that it will shoot with the bowgun if he sees enemies, but I trust you that it will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
