thewood Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I thought the .50 on the Stryker was remote controlled. I can't get the Strykers to fire unless I tell them to open. Also has anyone noticed that the Strykers are more reluctant to fire their .50's at bunkers. In Wadi Scouts, in 1.01, I was able to just hit start and the Strykers would open up and clean out the bunkers at range. In 1.02, I have to cajole them into firing. I will say this, anything with AT weapons seem to open up with no problem on armor in 1.02. I did notice the AT5 seems to hot short in all 6 test firings I did. Will keep an eye out for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNac Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 you mean on 1.02? cause on 1.01 the .50 seems to work just fine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get the Strykers to fire unless I tell them to open.Maybe it was a Stryker Reconnaissance Vehicle - these don't have a remote MG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntarr Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I've restarted my Campaign and have also noticed a marked reduction in the units firing even with target arcs up. I seem to have to manually target everything now. That blows in WEGO. I had 2 M1's not 40m from Syrian Troops and they never fired at them. Before they would open up with even the gunners top MG, now I have to target everything. This is also the case with Strykers. Performance is up but TacAI seems to have taken a step back.. well maybe a step sideways. I did see M1's turning to engage tanks.

thewood Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Bump to see if can get Strykers firing on their own again. I have posted several times on this and haven't seen if BFC thinks it is a valid isse. With patch work winding down after 1.04, I'm hoping this makes it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I can say since I was brought in to Beta the USMC Module. The issues that I saw in Aug have been addressed. NDA disclaimer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I don't think you actually CAN unbutton the Stryker ICV's commander. Someone will pop up in an adjacent hatch when the mg's got to be reloaded but I getting the vehicle commander heads-up in the hatch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Plus the two idiot guys from the squad stuck up in the back. I have yet to get them to button. I ran extensive testing when 1.03 came out and found that Strykers of any variety are reluctant to fire at spotted infantry over 400m away. Sometimes they do a little dance and spin in place slowly like they can't bring the .50 to bare. When fired upon they will sometimes fire a few bursts back. I keep switching back to 1.01 to test and they blaze away under the same parameters. There were some long dicussions on this in the tactics forum also. Looks like what I feared, collective short attention span on the forums. That's why I bumped it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I notice that they seem to fall into some sort of loop where they go through the "spotting, elevating, aiming" cycle but never actually fire. It seems to happen a lot to all my units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Maybe that strange loop is this area fire related: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=52;t=002834#000000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 I hadn't seen that thread, but ist unrelated. My testing has encompassed both wooded and completely clear terrain. No difference. Rant on// Related to the thread you put up...that's the stuff that frosts me over about this. I try not to get too worked up over it, but how can anyone consider this even close to being realistic. It has to be a factor of that damned 8 x 8 gird. If 1.04 doesn't address those type of LOS/LOS issues, I am shelving it. Rant off// 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
