Your great one found it in 2 games with TH and confirmed it in his 3rd, as far as I know nobody has found the issue yet but it seems to be the repair kit conflicting with loading in the launcher in some way.

tldr...
No repair kit = Inf loads like normal
With repair kit = Inf spawns outside

Confirmed it in the 3rd game as TH by using one HT with a kit and one without, this seems to be the issue.

about time we found out what causes this lol. nice

[nikomas]

So bloody deceptively simple to, amazing nobody found it...

[RikiRude]

I don't play PE, but good find mate!

Could someone confirm if its the same issue for brens and infantry ?

[nikomas]

Brens have the same issue?

I know for a fact that M3 halftracks do not have this problem.

Yes tommies do not load in the carrier sometimes.

^Who uses carriers......

Lol, wrong. An IHT with a repair kit that manages to come in loaded-up just gets the added bonus of infinite repairs.

Lol, Wrong. An IHT with repair kits arrive unloaded, but if you garrison the squads in it will still have infinite repair kits. Thats a bug that has no bearing on weather they spawn inside our outside the thing, as long as you have it set to spawn inside in the launcher.

As I said, I tried this by having one with a reapair kit and one without in the same call in and both with assault grens. The one with the repair came with no inf inside, the one without it had inf inside. ALL other halftracks that did have reps came on field unloaded.

If it's not this, what's the reason then myst?

[Mysthalin]

You made this happen 3 times. I understand why you'd think that's the reason behind it. But if I still had them I could provide you with loads of replays from back in the day when me and dave would run double PE. In those ones our stuff spawned perfectly fine in halftracks while still being perfectly able to repair - and do so infinitely, on a cooldown.

Remember Nikomas you did say once that you have Spare parts. It might make things different.

[nikomas]

That's because I did not make it clear Tig so that's on me. Personally I've only seen the issue using spare parts and from using normal SE halftracks fine I thought normal HT's did not have this problem.

Maybe I should have been more clear in the main post, but that special repair kit is what I meant by "TH" halftracks. But I really did try it several times and it was consistent. Now if myst was comparing it to standard experience with normal HT's, that's prolly what caused confusion.
