Yair Iny Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 In the brits demo, I parked my WMIK just behind the ridge and sent the men (3 of them) to the ridge. Now, I spotted some guys somewhere (don't want to spoil anything). So I went back to the WMIK (this one had an HMG) and drove up only to get my guys knocked off one by one within a minute. Now, it would be nice if I could at least take the GPMG off the WMIK and take it to the ridge dismounted. I'm not expecting to be able to do that with the 50cal, but the GPMG would certainly be possible. When we used to dismount from our M113s in exercises, we always took one of the MAGs with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 This can be done, actually! Unfortunately, not with the two vehicles in the demo though, the WMIK and dedicated Javelin transport TUM. Just bad luck with the vehicle selection. Other armed TUM WMIKs in the TO&E do dismount either GPMG or grenade launcher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yair Iny Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Cool, thanks for the response. I'll just have to wait for the module then BTW, any idea why some vehicles can and some can't? Is it a game or a RL issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Doctrine, probably. No doubt the vehicles who can dismount them are allowed to do so because it's their dedicated role to provide MG support in mounted or dismounted form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a game or a RL issue? It's the teams of the fire support platoon who can. This is to allow the British to have dismounted support weapons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
