slysniper Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 What is it telling me when I see under the damage bar. The tanks gun "wording" in a gray color, but the box to the right is Green, indicating everything is OK. This happened, the tank iqnored the fire order for the next turn. but as the turn progressed, the wording turned green again and everything appears to be back to normal. What does the graying of the word mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulture Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I believe it means the gun is unavailable to fire for some reason even though the gun itself is working. The gun is being reloaded, or the gunner is not ready, or the gun jammed (gain tank main guns jam? I haven't the faintest idea), or there is some temporary malfunction that gets sorted out, or..... No idea what issues are actually simulated in the game. Basically the gun hasn't been permanently damaged by fire, but is for some reason out of action. Probably for a short time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topo Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think TheVulture is right, this appened in Shock Force too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I figured as much, I like the one about it being a temporary gun jamb, that makes sence. Except for the fact that once it is fixed and ready to go, it would have been nice to see them start the area fire I had ordered. had to wait that full minute to get them to fire it the next turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Ya, Grey = "Temporarily not available". Re-loading is definitely one reason you'll see this -- loading a new belt into an MG, for example. I think you'll also see it if the gun is temporarily not manned (as in, the gunner is a casualty, or something). There may be other reasons why a weapon an a vehicle will go Grey for a short time as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool breeze Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Y'all already covered this one well but I wanted to add that you especially had to keep an eye out for it in Shock Force because there were a lot of tanks with remote control 50 cal.s that would go gray when they ran out of ammo until you unbuttoned to reload. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
