Sniper ammo/weapon use

[c3k]

Yeah, I know, flooding the forum...

Playing CMBF; a Brit 2-man sniper team. I set them a FACE towards an enemy AT-4C position. The snipers don't know about it (no contact) others do, at the start of the turn.

When the snipers see the contact, they see one enemy. The sniper takes 3 (three, iii, uno, dos, tres) shots with his M110, then swaps to the L85...and stays that way.

At 485 meters, all three shots missed. His spotter nailed the one enemy they saw.

With the contact gone, the spotter continued firing on the position. I never set a target command.

The sniper never regained his M110.

Savegame available.

Thanks,

M110?

Really?

There does seem to be some odd stuff happening with the sniper teams though.

...and the grenade launchers as well. I'd seen it indoors before, but today I saw a grenadier use his SA80 UGL outdoors in a close assault. Point blank range, killed himself and a buddy in the process.

yeah, points to flamingknives... I was wondering how long it would take until I got called on that: make it an "L115 A something" sniper rifle.

Three rounds. Later, much later, after firing his L85 a bunch, he found his L115 again.

Test point: does he swap weapons when he needs to reload? I.e., a loaded weapon is better than his unloaded weapon? If the L115 is limited to only 3 rounds in its magazine, that could be possible.

Something is up...

ScubaSam, that problem is already reported/noticed. so hopefully it will go away in next patch
