ZOR58 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have 3 Grant tanks showing Gun Damage. How do I tell which gun has been damaged? or do both guns go down when it shows gun damage? The tanks are showing no crew casualities. Thanks in advance for your replies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yes, the unfortunate problem with CMAK...Both guns are damaged. If coming up with a problem like this; Use Area-Fire, and see if the pop-up will ask you to use Main Gun or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Don't ALL guns including MGs go down if "gun damaged"? Essentially I think your tank is now completely unarmed, however unlikely it might be that two cannons and 1/2 MGs were disabled with one shot simultaneously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 hoolaman, AFVs with bow MGs keep those in the event of gun damage, leading to such "marvels" as Panther MG carriers. Am hoping CM2 Normandy et al. will allow for discrete modeling of exact weapon destroyed or disabled. After all, this is already done in CMSF. KOing both the sponson mount and the turret on the Grant, Lee and similar is, I believe, an engine limitation necessitated by the code stretch that allowed the inclusion of such tanks in CMAK in the first place, albeit with loss of the useful ability to engage to separate targets at once. No such kluge existed in CMBB, so we lost the T-28, T-35 and other multiturreted heavy tanks. Discrete damage modeling, so prominently on display in TOW, will definitely be an issue when, say, France 1940 arrives on the scene, seeing as how the Char B1 bis has both a proper turret and a peculiar hull mounted gun. ISTR the Germans had some in reserve formations in Normandy, too, in 1944. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 No such kluge existed in CMBB, so we lost the T-28, T-35 and other multiturreted heavy tanks. And I really missed the T-35's absence. Sure, it was incredibly rare, a veritable land-battlewagon, but it was, in it's own way, cool.

Redwolf Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have 3 Grant tanks showing Gun Damage. How do I tell which gun has been damaged? or do both guns go down when it shows gun damage? The tanks are showing no crew casualities. Thanks in advance for your replies. In CMx1, "gun damage" is always for all guns including the coax MG but not including the hull MG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
