c3k Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Gents, Whilst greatly enjoying CM:Brits, I've found that my Challenger 2's have a bit of a droop. If the tank fires in such a manner that the gun is depressed (and who wouldn't be depressed if an internet forum is talking about your drooping issue?), it remains depressed... Example: area firing at close range keeps the gun pointing down. Later, I move the tank elsewhere. Until a new target command is ordered, the gun retains its droop - it keeps the same elevation (in this case, a negative elevation). Minor, qibbling, etc. However, seeing a tank drive around at high speed with the end of the barrel barely clearing the dirt takes away from the immersion a bit. (As well, there may be some gameplay ramifications in regards to reaction time to new targets. There is a delay while the gun elevates.) I would think a neutral gun elevation should be adopted if no target is commanded. This was done with 2 separate Challengers. Savegames available... Thanks, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hey Ken, I thought this happened with all tanks not just the Challenger! Does it not? Anyway, would be nice to have this changed. Actually it has been brought up in the beta area recently and it is on the wish list. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It happens the other way too. I had a Challenger on Viagra yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietrich Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 With all this talk of cannons' "attitude", I'm curious why no modelling of how a Challenger's gun angles upward after firing? (Is this the case with the Abrams too? I forget. I know the Leopard 2's gun elevates after firing.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Is this the case with the Abrams too? I forget. I know the Leopard 2's gun elevates after firing.) Abrams's gun doesnt do that, since it doesnt have an autoloader. Generally it will go back to neutral position, so the loader can load the next round. if the gun stays depressed, its impossible to manually load 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm curious why no modelling of how a Challenger's gun angles upward after firing? Add to that list every Syrian tank as well. All the Russian tanks (I think) should auto-elevate after firing to facilitate loading/autoloading. One supposes it's only 'eye-candy', and the guns' are all supposed to automatically return to the original gun lay afterward. I would've liked to see it in as well. But I guess the auto-elevate had one flaw - it doesn't have a WWII title application. It seems if they're going to take the time to special-code something it had better be trasferrable to WWII. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
