OGSF Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Hey? Why? I read the manual and it says tanks have pointy things that shoot. My T-34 is about 60 yards from an enemy fox hole with troops in it, blue line LOS, 74 HE rounds, under command with a red line and everything, buttoned and machine gunning the troops - but won't fire it's bloody big gun thing. I told it to. "Use main gun?" it asked? "Why yes, please do" I clicked. But it didn't, hasn't and won't for the last two turns. Why? No cover arcs in place, no other threats it can see. BTS fix or do sumfink!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGSF Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by Pvt. Ryan: Is it gun damaged?Nope, completely unharmed. Regular experience, no crew casualties, just won't fire it's main gun at the troops in the fox hole. Machine guns them happily. No wonder the Russians lost the war!

imported_Hiram Sedai Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 My version of CMBB shows distance in meters, not yards. I have seen armor shoot the main gun as close as 10M, but it usually goes over the head of the infantry. Keep moving your armor closer to the foxhole and see if you can shoot them! I love the sound that is made when a squad or more of troops toss grenades and molotov's at a tank! Oh, as for your problem, Mister OGSF...must be a problem that only you have.

Btw, I'll be in the Boulder area on Dec. 9th if you'd like to buy a fellow CessPooler a beer. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGSF Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by russellmz: any russkies nearby? if a friendly unit is near tanks don't shoot...Why thank you russellmz, there *is* a single sole survivor that won't die near the foxhole in question. Might be why. Doesn't make sense of course. The Russians sent in wave after human wave to be slaughtered by entrenched MG positions, had NKVD troops to machine gun the survivors, but their bloody tanks won't fire on the enemy cos a single useless survivor of a killed squad happens to be nearby. Not that I am bitter or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
