pcelt Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Recently fought a Quick Battle with Brits defending . The Brits were all in small teams carried in Spartans . I unloaded all the infantry teams and gave them and each Spartan vehicle defensive positions. The Javelin teams were heavily involved initially and destroyed many BMPs and a couple of T72s . The Spartans in the line of fire swiftly retreated to safer positions. Eventually when the enemy attacks were almost entirely infantry I ordered some of the Spartans to manoeuvre forward to fire their 7.6 GP M/G at enemy infantry----but when I tried to give any of them particular targets I found the Targetting choices all greyed out and unusable. I dont think any had suffered damage to their gun but they could not be ordered to target and fire. Can anyone explain or hypothesise what was occurring here with the Spartans Many thanks for any clarification 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 spartans only have designated drivers. so you need to have grunts manning its machine gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoex Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 ...and therefore you have to issue the fire command to the Spartan's passenger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulture Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 ...and therefore you have to issue the fire command to the Spartan's passenger. Not in my experience. As long as there is a passenger manning the gun, you can give the vehicle a target command. Admittedly it is some months since I tried to shoot at anything with a Spartan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoex Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just ran a quick test and you are right, TheVulture. Target orders can be given to vehicles directly as long as their guns are manned by anyone including passengers. I obviously had this confused with something else, though I can't for the life of me figure out what . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
