markshot Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 If the gun is knocked out on a tank, does that also mean that the coaxial MG gets knocked out too? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Yes. Probably not entirely realistic, but as you can see, once a tank has its gun damaged in CMBO, the turret stops rotating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolman Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I am not sure if the MG is knocked out with the gun all the times. ...In one battle i had a tiger with a blocked turet but i was still able to select targets but as far as i remember the gun was still able to fire....but i am not sure if my memories are corect...maybe i am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Manuel Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Skolman, You might have still been using the Bow MG, I think that you can do that on a GunDamaged tank as long as the crew hasn't taken any casualties...not sure tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightblade Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 It seems that after the gun is damaged, not even a remote flexible MG is able to fire. I had a StuG IIIG in a recent game, which lost its gun very soon. You still could target enemy units, but it never fired. It had 17 ammo for the MG the turn it lost it´s gun and it still had 17 ammo when it got knocked out in turn 44 of 45 by a `zook Oh, and it never fired, no matter if the TC was unbuttoned or not, though that shouldn´t make any difference as the MG is remote after all...

markshot Posted November 18, 2002 Author Share Posted November 18, 2002 Yes, what prompted me to post this is I had a Sherman whose gun was OUT, but I figured it could still be used as a mobile MG platform. Well, as you probably know already, that idea didn't work. But, it did make a good paper weight. Thanks, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally you'll only see a StuG fire an MG if it's the "forward" or "coax." MG. I'm still thinking that Gun Damaged tanks can sometimes use one of the MGs...? Anyone know? It doesn't make sense that you can still target, but it won't shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
