Earl Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I was attempting to order a MG bunker to a limited firing arc (reduced range so that it didn't instantly become a HE round magnet). But the crew seems to fire at any target in LOS regardless of the covered arc. Can anyone else confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 Please, please, please. One of you smart guys please come out of the Peng thread and let me know if this happens to you or has aready been discussed. My cursory search turned up nothing on the subject.

StellarRat Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I couldn't get my pillbox to even use a covered arc last night. The option wasn't even in the action list. I don't why that happened. Maybe because they were conscripts? Don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 That's correct. Conscripts aren't well enough trained to keep their rifles pointed down range. My pillboxes were regulars, they just don't listen to orders well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Can this also happen to AT-guns? I had a conscript 88mm gun crew that just wouldn't use arc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastables Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Originally posted by SlowMotion: Can this also happen to AT-guns? I had a conscript 88mm gun crew that just wouldn't use arc Conscripts are judged to have to low a training level to actully be able to set up firelanes/arcs. Ergo conscripts in game cannot use the cover arc command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 As above. If you get a mixed level tank platoon you'll find that all but the conscripts can cover arcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 Concur with the above about conscripts. However, has anyone else had bunkers ignore the covered arc they were assigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Sorry for the self bump Really would like an answer about whether MG bunkers should stay in their assigned covered arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 We're checking the bunker/arc report right now. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I've had tanks fire outrside tehir CA from time to time. FWIW. I was reasonably happy with it, cos as it happened the CA I'd set sucked. Also had AT guns fire outside their CA - this was in the demo Kursk scen (running in the full game). I put it down to poor fire discipline.
