lomir Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The facts: after using all the 51mm HE rounds, the mortar guy switched to his rifle and moved to a different firing position, leaving the mortar behind. When they did stop area firing he didn't came back where the mortar actually is and now he can shoot all the remaining Smoke rounds "remotely": see the picture. I have a savegame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Very cool. If you move the HQ team what happens to the mortar? (Note the mortar shell icon for the gunner; I assume this means he can use the mortar. I'm curious as to what happens to that icon if the HQ unit moves.)

lomir Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi c3k, If you move the HQ unit, the mortar "magically" disappears and then everything goes alright, the gunner (the one on the far left of the screenshot) deploys the mortar in a different place (well, the Pack Up issue is still there since he doesn't spend any the 16 sec it is supposed to, but that's something different). You assume well, because the weird thing is that if you don't move them and then use the Target Smoke command to use the 51mm smoke shells they have remaining, the gunner doesn't move and acts as the mortar being next to him but the rounds are leaving from the place (5 meters away) the mortar actually is. I've never seen that before and I really think that it's an uncommon bug on account of a series of factors very unlikely to happen again. It reminds me to that old bug of MGs deploying away from their gunners. Regards, Lomir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
