I brought out my NEWLY VET 3 HOWITZER and instead of deploying towards the church, it sarted building on the road, and stopped at like 1% forcing me to cancel construction so I could bring in stuff again (You can't bring 'anything' in while a howi is building)

I'd appreciate it, it had 80 something xp, but any vet 3 howi will do, thanks.

almost 100% sure that any unit lost, no matter what, will not be replaced.

[scrapking]

No deposit, no return.

Show a replay with what happened in case its a bug that can be fixed, but no, you won't be getting any replacements.

[Tymathee]

it's happened to me several times, I've had my truck run off and leave the howie sitting there. I doubt you get it back.

[bbsmith]

I had a howitzer blow up when i built it at my spawn.

[Freek]

Yeah, the replay is up there.

[Smokaz]

Dont build it too close to spawn either or the truck retreats as it starts to build.

[Freek]

Thats just fucking retarded, how else am I supposed to protect my howi vet?

I build it too far away from spawn, and it'll be vetgriefed by anything that gets next to it:
stormies (and anything else) can outrun a retreating squad
some cloaky shit can offmap it while you're not looking, totally annihilating any vet.
half the games I bring it on, it get's a V1 right after the first volley, zero kills

I spent half this war vetting up my fucking howi, I'm not gonna lose it to some lame-ass bug like this.

LoL, half this war to vet up a howitzer? 3 Games should be enough.

And yes, Vet on howitzers/88s won't last long, get used to it. Lost my Vet 3 88 crew to one direct howitzer shell(onmap).

[Freek]

That wasn't a bug, unlike this.  And can your 88 be V1'ed, or cloaky offmaped, or cloaky raped in general, effectively removing it for the entire game? Nooo, so no you can't vet up a howi in like '3 games' that's only for 88's.

[Baine]

Yeah i forgot they are invincible as stated in my post above yours 

[Freek]

What post?

And 88's will rape on certain maps, if well placed... Tanteville, any1?

Howitzers can't stop an attack dead on it's feet, unless it's one tightly compacted blob.  Otherwise, it might get say 5 guys but then it's done for 3 minutes... 88's can shoot all day long.

[Guderian]

Freek has a point....BUT i think we all agree on that the howie needs fixing
