hm_stanley Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I know you can't bail out and get back in for static placements. But, if they are towable, can you tow them into position deploy them and then move and retow like German le18 infantry gun? I know for static gun placements moving personnel is not possible to get out of the way. I've never tried this, but can AT teams move the gun as a team? To a different spot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng cavscout Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 yes you can tow AT guns and move them from place to place. I know the crews of most AT guns can push them around, not sure about the 88 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I've read you can't tow the 88. I'm guessing this is because the towed arrangement was quite a bit different than the deployed arrangement and they didn't want to do the animations. This is just a theory of mine though. Maybe in the Commonwealth module we'll have that along with a sdkfz7 to tow it but it's probably not a priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the 'published' combined takedown/setup times on the weapon info panel add up to a rather significant chunk of a scenario.

hm_stanley Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 So, the only time I lose an AT gun is when I "bail out", if I move the crew to a new location or move the crew back to the towing Opel or HT, I'm ok?? correct? Is that the rule to live by? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The crew is with the gun as long as the gun is not KO or bailed from. If you move the prime mover next to the gun, then select the gun and use the move command so it points at the prime mover with a down arrow, that directs the crew to hitch up the gun and then mount the prime mover. You do not have to load the crew separately or unload them separately, for game purposes they are part of the gun until killed or bailed from it. Think airplanes - pilot bails, aircraft lost. The ammo bearers do have to be loaded on the prime mover separately, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
