Howitzer Retreat Bug

« on: September 20, 2009, 04:04:16 pm »

Okay, this has happened three times to me (seems to happening more often as of late?) and this last time I lost a vet 3 howie crew.

What happens is you hit the retreat button, but instead the crew just demans and sits next to weapon instead of retreating. I know if you reman the howie they lose all their experience, but you can't retreat them because they don't have a toggle or retreat button. Can this be looked at or a retreat icon added for the crew to work around this bug?

same with Paks.

You have to manually move them back to spawn and retreat them back just like a vehicle.

Theres just no insta retreat with them anymore...

I like that idea s that you can;t just run away at the first sight of trouble while getting those last few howie shells off.

Bug logged.

I'll leave this thread open for now, in case anyone knows of any other units that has this same bug. Just please don't turn it into a balance discussion

this can happen to hmg's and mortars as well. Basically the crew retreat is a bit bugged.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

So I can hit Y even though there is no button on the interface for offmap toggle? Good to know after the fact now I guess Cry
