Sarge Saunders Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Bought one of those KV flamethrower tanks recently and thought I would use to flame enemy infantry out of buildings. Funny thing is that whenever I use the area fire command it will shoot the cannon but not the flamethrower. What gives? Never behaved this way in CMBO. I am close enough (within 70 meters) and I have set up a test in the scenario editor to confirm this behavior. The tank flames fine when it actually targets enemy units but no flame area fire!? Could this be an intentional behavior? Maybe to avoid gamey burning but flaming known, yet hiding, infantry out of buldings is hardly gamey!! Anyone else notice this? Speak up! -Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 May be an ammo conservation deal. The crew's trained to only hose the area down if they are sure someone will be bathing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has been programmed out in CMBB. BFC, please fink or do somefix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I had the same thoughts Sarge, and was disappointed. The real problem is that the KV has such bad vision that, even if there IS a target, it might not see it. At least it won't just ignore an area target, but you can't have an area target and flame it.

Redwolf Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 The problem is that a CM target command is always connected to the main weapon. If there are additional weapons than every weapon but the main one will work fully autonomous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
