Destroyed tank crew bug


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is old news, but I didn't find anything on my search about it.

I was playing an operation as the germans, and had managed to knock out a few shermans and an AC. There were 3 vehicles that didn't burn, and hence, were still salvagable. So when night fell I sent out platoons with 'schreck teams to toast them for good. I secured the area around the first tank, walked the schreck team right next to it, and let fly. Well the tank burned, which was good, but to my shock and consternation, a crew bailed out of it and gunned down the astonished AT team. I tried it again, and sure enough, a new team would pop out of the destroyed tank. eek.gif

I was able to rationalize that maybe some lost soldiers had found shelter in a abandoned vehicle, but really, this should be fixed at some point. This may be connected to the "Armoured Clown Car" phenomenon.

I noticed too that if you brew up a tank, the crew sometimes pops up anyway. eek.gif

You would think they would all be eliminated if the tank is engulfed in flames. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well, I believe that in reality there's often some lag time between the hit and the brew up. I think CM handles this by giving you the flame immediately, but letting the crew escape. I'm sure it just wouldn't be worth the trouble to make the tank wait a while and THEN brew up.
