RCmarine Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Tried the "Just around the Bend" scenario that has the LAV ATGMs in it. Was disappointed when my LAV ATGMs missed every shot they took. Then I noticed none of them had gunner specialty personnel. WTF? Did you forget to give them gunners? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCmarine Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just cranked up this scenario again and now they do have the gunners. Maybe they died the last time. Doesn't explain why my LAV ATGMs can't hit anything though. I've played the scenario 3 times and they are 0 for 7. Was really pissed when in one scenario they fired 3 shots, all misses, and a T-55 returns fire and has a first round hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeps Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 This wound me up too, you just have to position them so they can take plenty of shots without getting toasted. Eventually they did save my bacon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Your probably seeing a bug that gives the LAV AT only 3 crew men. They should have four. This caused them to be rather "blind". The bug was fixed, prior 1.10(fixed) I don't think the scenario got updated with the corrected LAV's. 3 options: You correct the LAV issue yourself by using the scenario designer. Purchase a new set of LAV AT's and delete the old ones. Thus giving you the corrected 4 man LAV ATs.Beg BFC to correct this scenario TO&E for the next 1.11 patch.Hope that, through no fault of our scenario designer, the Outstanding MarkEzra would correct this on his own limited free time and post it for all the world to enjoy. Small suggestion on this scenario, maybe break up the cliff wall just a little bit more, they have this "Hoover Dam" look that makes the cliffs seem artificial. Fun scenario overall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCmarine Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Thx for the reply Huntarr. I think you are correct cause I only remember there being 3 crewmen in my vehicles. On one of my vehicles a crewman had the back hatch open to reload and a T-55 shot at the vehicle. He missed, but the round hit the escarpment right behind the vehicle and the blast killed the exposed crewman. After that they only had 2 men in the vehicle. In another curious episode my LAV ATGM was in a perfect hull down position with only the TOW launcher exposed. A T-55 shot hit the launcher damaging the optics. One worthless vehicle without its TOW. Them Syrian tank gunners are damn good! I am also curious why all the USMC leaders in this scenario are -1. Every single one, both for the vehicle and the dismounts. Must be my old CO's (when I was at 8th&I. He was an LAR guy) LAR Bn. He didn't train them right. (Thats a joke. He was actually good to go.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCmarine Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just went into the scenario editor to fix this scenario and noticed all the Marines are on the default green experience, normal motivation, and -1 leadership. That explains everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 A lot of scenario designers set US experience and morale lower to try to balance things without having to cut out all the cool toys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCmarine Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I don't buy that. The scenario is already unbalanced in that you have a recon element without much fire support trying to fight their way through dug in defensive positions. I bet he just forgot to adjust them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
