Title: Stug mg appears not to be working on panther Post by: Jodomar on April 10, 2012, 10:19:34 am I just unlocked Field modification the other day and it doesn't seem to be working on the panther. I say this because the p4 did a great job at suppressing but when I went to use my panther in a similar situation it did not suppress at all. I think this might need to be looked at.
Title: Re: Stug mg appears not to be working on panther Post by: Tymathee on April 10, 2012, 10:35:36 am i think it works but the gun is farther away.
think of it like tihs tank = [] gun = ~ stug = [~ ] p4 = [ ~ ] panther = [ ~ ] so its a bit longer, so the gun is farther away, thus suppression will be a bit slower. or it could just not be working :shrug: Title: Re: Stug mg appears not to be working on panther Post by: Groundfire on April 10, 2012, 11:01:07 am did you look at the rgds yet?

That said, I think all the axis tank mgs have 35 range and what you are experiencing is fact that your panther is keeping distance thus reducing the efficiency of its mg, buffed or not.

Because the .50 cal on halftrack is a better one. It has higher accuracy than the Sherman 50 cal. It is not because it is 'closer' to the target. They are 2 different weapons.

They are 2 different weapons. meh, i forgot it's a different weapon. still, sherm and m8 use same gun, why is the .50 cal for m8 more effective?

Exactly, it sticks in close range and ratatatatas the guys to death. It has nothing to do with how close the gun is.

It has nothing to do with how close the gun is. Well if you look at it this way it does....Close range = Closer, but not the close Tym was looking for. Title: Re: Stug mg appears not to be working on panther Post by: Ahnungsloser on April 11, 2012, 11:26:29 am Well if you look at it this way it does.... Close range = Closer, but not the close Tym was looking for. The close range of the stug MG42 is 10, and you want to say that the location in the middle of the panther, the to the top and the distance between the Panther and target makes it >10 so that is not close range anymore? (Overall it makes really good sense. But I can't say what "10 Range" in the game feels like and what "10 Range" compared to the Panther is) Title: Re: Stug mg appears not to be working on panther Post by: jackmccrack on April 11, 2012, 12:29:37 pm The hull is longer, duh
