Jaresh Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi, Had a MG team whose gunner died and vanished from the map. Later on I brought back the team to the spot where he died as I noticed his barely used MG lying on the floor. I placed the team on the spot for a while but it didn't seem to want to pick the weapon. I've called the optician but it still doesnt work... Any guess? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 MGs can be knocked out. Maybe it was broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Can one pick up a weapon without giving buddy aid? Also, when one is playing German vs German (or US vs US), can one acquire a weapon from the oppo side? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wego McPbem Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Can one pick up a weapon without giving buddy aid? In the case of HMG and mortar teams, yes. The mg\mortar is transferred to an active soldier without any buddy aid required. Done for balance reasons I believe, the teams would be a bit too fragile otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for the info. Didn't realize that. Any idea re what happens re picking up "enemy" HMG and mortars when you have a red vs red or blue vs blue scenario? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik mond Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 On occasion I have seen HMG's abandoned and left behind in case of extreme panic. Although you can herd the same team back on top of the weapon, I am wondering if another team can come by and scoop it up. Oh, and I am wondering about Erwin's question too regarding Red on red scooping up their enemy's weapons, is it possible. Gonna have to try that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I doubt it, for both. AFAIK, there're only two ways wpns can be xfered; 1) automatically when a wpns carry is WIA/KIA. The wpn is xferred instantly and automatically to another member of the same squad/team. 2) buddy aid recovery. Neither of those circumstances apply to wpns lying on the gnd or to enemy wpns, even in a RvR or BvB battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 So you contradict what Wego McPbem said: "In the case of HMG and mortar teams, yes. The mg\mortar is transferred to an active soldier without any buddy aid required." Anyone know which it is for sure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, exactly, 1) in my post above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Ok, I agree with that too as that is how I thought the game worked... I thought the implication was that another soldier can come by LATER and pick up the HMG or Mortar that has been left lying around. It was a confusing thread: 1) Jaresh: "Had a MG team whose gunner died and vanished from the map. Later on I brought back the team to the spot where he died as I noticed his barely used MG lying on the floor." 2) Quote: Originally Posted by Erwin Can one pick up a weapon without giving buddy aid? 3) Wego: "In the case of HMG and mortar teams, yes.

Jaresh Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 let's answer point 1) of clever Jaresh: same team member on the square where the MG is left but no picking up.. why? wait a few turns? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
