Oberst Angsthase Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 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. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 I noticed too that if you brew up a tank, the crew sometimes pops up anyway. You would think they would all be eliminated if the tank is engulfed in flames. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ------------------ -Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted July 23, 2000 Share Posted July 23, 2000 This is a bug. I notified Steve at BTS and sent him a 60 second movie file. I had an arty barrage of mine fall around an abandoned Cromwell. Each time it ot close a crew would bail out. 10 or so in all. Yikes. Its been reported. TeAcH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
