Unidentified vehicle bug

[offtaskagain]

Last night I was playing the Saving Private Ryan scenario when I encountered a rather strange looking Marder. It was driving down the street forwards while the gun was faced all the way backwards. The crew was still facing forward. The vehicle was actually a Sdkfz 7/1, with the rear facing gun mount, so I think it's a little buggy for the Marder gun to be twisted the same way as the HTs.

At what point did you discover that it was really a 7/1? I am thinking that it might have been a case of misidentification by your troops. Like when they mistakenly think that a Pz. Mk. IV is a Tiger.

After about 30 seconds. This was was from under 100 meters the whole time. I knew it was a 7/1 beforehand cuz I usually play the German side even though the Axis briefing says to hit Alt-A as soon as you can. But is a Marder III ever capable of fully traversing the gun? It really looks funny. I would show it but I appear to have deleted the screenshot.

It's been noted before by lots of ppl. I don't recall whether it was gonna be fixed or whatever.

I've had this happen before with a 7/2.

I don't think its a "bug" per se, but just FOW doing it's job.

Your troops have (mis)identified it as an SP gun and the hull is oriented to the direction of travel, and the weapon is oriented to the direction it's firing.

It does look silly, but it's a sure indicator that your troops have guessed wrong. (like whern you kill a "Tiger?" at 300m with a 37mm gun)
