Madmatt Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 There are times when you will notice that for some reason, the autoloader seems to get stuck trying to load a new shell into the main gun. You may hear what sounds like the autoloader mechanism continually running but it never loads the new ammo. This can sometimes occur when the autoloader malfunctions because you manually slewed or elevated the gun at the same time the autoloader is trying to load the gun or if you activated the stabalization system while the autoloader was loading. These malfunctions can occur randomly or because the unit is damaged. When the autoloader is functioning properly or undamaged, such manual turret traverse and elevation inputs will not interfere with the loading process. You can indentify a autoloader malfunction the following way. After pressing the reload key you will notice that the Load Indicator light is no longer lit. This is because the gun's elevation is too low or too high and the autoloader can not access the breech properly. In order to allow the autoloader to complete the loading process, either lower or raise the gun until the Load indicator light illuminates. The other time this can occur is if the autoloader itself is damaged or destroyed. In this case, in order to manually load the gun you will again need to elevate the gun barrel so that the breech is clear and the new ammo can be inserted into the gun. Once the gun is at the proper elevation to faciliate loading, the Load Light will come on and your crew will automatically load the gun, although it will take a little longer to finish. Hope that helps! Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
