drtechno Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hmm.. I just tried deploying a MG on a roof with a low wall (mission Al Hawl) without any luck. (should be possible I thought based upon a previous BF post) Just an FYI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT_P Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 MMGs SHOULD be able to deploy in buildings or rooftops. Depending on the unit's SOP, most gun teams carry their tripod & TO&E with them when on foot. Whether or not they can deploy indoors or on a roof depends on the height of the window/parapet. We still need a command to force fire a particular weapons system. (Eg AT4 vs a BMP or another infantry unit). As mentioned earlier, infantry should fire their weapons individually as they enter and clear a room. Also they should move through "the fatal funnel" faster. Those who are outside waiting to enter should be taking cover against the building wall. Keep up the hard work Battlefront, it's an awesome game and I am enjoying it.

Roter Stern Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 MGs with tripods should deploy on roofs without a parapet, so if they can't that is in fact a bug. They can not however, deploy inside or on roofs that do have a parapet. That would require hours of deliberate position preparation of knocking out knee-high firing ports in walls.

SlowMotion Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I had made a test scenario in version 1.01. I continued editing it in 1.02. While trying to use M1132 Stryker Engineer Squad Vehicle I noticed many strange things while playing this scenario. Often it wouldn't execute commands like Target, Pop Smoke and many times not even Open Up. Sometimes when a crew member did pop up, he appeared from driver's place. Sometimes from the gunner's place. I looked at the UI and tried to figure out what was wrong. Noticed that the vehicle had only one man crew - the driver. In manual p. 160 it shows that there should be a two man crew. Where's the gunner? Edit: Same command problems and one man crew in M1126 ICV Stryker.

They fired 2 after the vehicle was already in flames. Could have been luck but I was a little surprised at their accuracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use MGs indoors currently in the game, you just can't set them up on the tripods.

KNac Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Anyway it's possible to setup MGs inside building, breaking the wall or similar methods, but would take longer than 20 sec. Personally I can live with the MGs not being able to deploy, they can shoot anyway so it's ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
