Tequ9q Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Im doing an ambush waiting behind a ridge (demo map) Planning to do a "shoot & scoot" on a IS-2 with my Tiger (comming on the bridge) I order my Tiger to go forward a few metres to engage the IS, make a shot, then retreat back behind the ridge.... NOW, thats what I wanted in THEORY.... This is what happened.... My tank starts to move out as planned, he makes his shot.. but when I wanted to reverse it behind the ridge, he TURNED 180 deg, with his Butt towards the IS!!!.... and this was after nearly 2 HOURS of playing and i didnt SAVE!... Now, I relied alot on that tiger... Maybe anyone have a tip on how to back up a tank... or either want my lost time back... This ... HORRIBLE event occurd again and again... on different occations...

Spacehusky Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Use the retreat command to move and they move in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequ9q Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 ah nice... I thought the retreat button was the same as in CMAK.. if you hit it, the soldiers panicked but retreated like they got something up ther behinds... Ill try that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequ9q Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hmm I tried it.. it worked for some tanks... but when I tried to back up the Tiger it started to turn again... and once more I forgot to save... Maybe it wanted to show his "full moon" to his enemy? hmmm... Regardless.. the game needs a patch that stops the tanks from turning towards invisible targets...

SlapHappy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 How steep is the decline? I've seen tanks negotiate certain inclines in a non-linear fashion. Otherwise, I can't imagine why it should turn with a retreat command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
