Fifty Cal' Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 In the Dunkirk battle I get reinforcements, some of these are trucks with trailered guns. When I give the trucks a movement order to cross a bridge and come to the "front" I find, after checking their progress a few minutes later, they seem incapable of crossing bridges. Instead they seem intent on practicing fifty point turns and I end up either not using the guns and just getting the troops out of the truck and running to battle (takes a while) or having to micro-manage the trucks route when I should be directing the tanks fighting the (damn) frenchies! Am I doing something wrong :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 LOL fifty point turns! Yes, I had the same problem. You really do have to micro-manage them. Let only one truck move at a time until they are across the bridge, that is how I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Mooyman Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If you send the 2 trucks over the same bridge they tend to get in each other way. What I did (as with the tank at the start of the mission) is sending one truck to the start of one bridge and the second truck to the second bridge. From there they are ordered to the front. Both crossed the bridge without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Cal' Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks guys, It seems that a simple bridge crossing (follow the road is all) requires a lot of thought and control, The addition of waypoints in the upcoming patch will prolly sort this out, in the meantime I'll let Austin Powers carry on driving the trucks (remember him turning the yellow buggy in the tunnel?) .50 rocks!

chanss Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Try to use the column move order, i think it should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33GZ Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 sure does... column move gets them there more or less without hassel.... anything else seems to confuse the hell out of the lowly paid lorry driver :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
