Title: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Audemed on July 18, 2011, 12:54:54 am I've lost a vet 2 and vet 3 howitzer crew today because they crew would simply not retreat. They'd get off the gun, but stand there. I could select them, but no movement commands could be issued.

Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: brn4meplz on July 18, 2011, 01:19:46 am Building things or issuing Retreat orders in the Spawn will cause this.
Most units have a built in 'Offmap Retreat' option like tanks for this purpose. Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Audemed on July 18, 2011, 01:38:06 am They weren't next to spawn either time. Once was 1/3 of the map forward, the other was almost halfway.
Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Malgoroth on July 18, 2011, 01:46:43 am Bad luck? My support weapon crews occasionally do the same thing. Two of em get blown to shit but the third guy will just hang out and be like "what's up?".
Also, sometimes, it only LOOKS like the guy is standing there and you can't control him.... but REALLY he's retreating. You could see the little dot on the mini map of him hauling ass, but he leaves like... a little ghost dude chillin by the support weapon. Maybe this happened to you, but the guys got killed on retreat? Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Poppi on July 18, 2011, 02:15:29 am Bad luck?

I had that problem with the howi, but they added the option to manually retreat. but in this case u said you couldnt move at all.

Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Rudy-sanErik on July 18, 2011, 04:27:53 am How is an invisible guy fine to you? becouse you cant kill him?? = if a guy is vet 3 then epic win :) Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Demon767 on July 18, 2011, 04:30:43 am If you believe an invisible guy is fine to you, i will never trust your credibility in any balance furom.
Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Mysthalin on July 18, 2011, 04:32:57 am You do realise keeping ATG crew-members on-field (after death of ATG itself) is a potentially ban-able offence?

Ya the guy is invisible, but still is getting shot at. AI is tracking him, and maybe the players seem him running, but i dont. I think it happens to enemy crew members too? Though not as often. And he can still die. But i wont see it. Only hear it.

How so? Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Mysthalin on July 21, 2011, 03:13:42 am How so? It's been put on the rules and regulations ages ago. Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: TheVolskinator on July 21, 2011, 07:57:09 am How, exactly, is it abuse?
Title: Re: Weapon crews not retreating Post by: Unkn0wn on July 21, 2011, 08:02:59 am Because you can use him to cap and to scout? (not to mention that he is 0 pop)
Don't do it, get him killed or walk him off-map. |
