Sgt Schultz Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yet another facepalm obvious observation that took me this long to get. Halftracks = ironclad C2. From an HMG team, to their secion HQ(who is within shouting distance of their assigned track), all the way up to Btn. As long as the HQs are in shouting distance, and the tracks are assigned properly at purchase and setup(assumption), we are all one big happy family. I may not stick them right out front, but I will certainly try to keep them near any section/non-radio HQs from now on. If you get halftracks in a scenario, don't leave 'em behind. --- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The American ones often come with a bazooka and rockets, along with extra .30 MG and carbine ammo. I usually clean them out when the squads disembark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've been wondering about the "goodie hut" effect of vehicles in CMBN. It made sense that western vehicles in CMSF came loaded with extra gear, but was every jeep in WW2 really an ammo buffet? Is there a way to have jeeps with no supplies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 You can set their supply to severe in the editor and they only have less than a hundred spare rounds amd no grenades rather than the several hundreds or thousands of rounds. Having said that the flow of materiel into normandy was pretty mindblowing, I don't see any problem with vehicles lugging a LOT of ammo. If you want supplies to be tight going into the breakout timeframe you can do that. Most deliberate actions would have been well supplied before kickoff though I'd have thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJFHutch Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 How do you do that? "Acquire". Also "G" key from the alternate keymap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Do jeeps and trucks always have radios? Sometimes? Never? Only if hauling an HQ? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PondScum Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Jeeps sometimes have radios - at least, in the Montebourg campaign you get four jeeps, one of which comes with a radio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapOne Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Alas, I haven't been able to purchase radio-equipped jeeps (or jeeps with both a machine gun and a radio) in the editor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
