hi guys have u changed the targeting priority of the t17s? Seems like all mine wanted to do in a game i just played was target Infantry and nothing but infantry lol. Even tho there were Halftracks and other vehicles around the vicinity.

[brn4meplz]

The T17 here doesn't do much to Halftracks. it's better off targeting infantry for the most part, the only real exception is probably the 50mm Halftrack, we could probably change the assigned target priority values for that.

it does plenty to PE halftracks but i hate having to keep clicking on Mortar Halftracks. If u could do that brn that would be awesome. Maybe just the PE crap

Its a sweet ass abuse. Use it to trick nubs.

Try putting a inf squad in cover, and then enemy inf moves by. Sweep a bike near them, and unless the guy tells his men to target your inf, they will switch to the bike.
Its dependant on 3 things. The unit's order or lack thereof + their weapon + their weapons target priority table.

I suppose some of our super intelligent conehead devs and RGD guys could produce the target priority list. They do love their stats.

Unless we have changed them - and afaik not a lot of target priority changes have been made - but some have - this list can englighten you.

Check "Target table" Right side. Higher value - higher priority - will autotarget over others.

According to this a skirted stug will always draw fire unless you manually target - as well as marder and jagdpanther. Pretty lulz for the t17 to be shooting a jagd over some shrek inf, i mean which is it more likely to damage?

lol ya it quite annoying considering the high speed the t17s turret rotates. Thing looks like its smoking crack when ur trying to fire at something else
Are you sure its set to these values? I'll do some test later and have a look

[Tymathee]

wow lol oh look a panther, my gun cant even penetrate it in the rear but lets fire at it to annoy da crap outta it

panther crew "oh ahaha, look at that pea shooter, ready to fire!"

t-17 "oh shiiii"

lol anyway yes fix priorities!

It's more than likely from when ToV just came out and T17s were ridiculously OP.

while you're at it, fix the 50mm priorities, and all other units firing on the 50mm, its like 30th on the priority list for other units + tends to target infantry over certain other threats which is quite annoying, even if zooks are the more dangerous threat, they aren't going to be killed by the 50mm so why is that ahead on the priority list?

[Unkn0wn]

Yea, good suggestions. We'll look at the priorities for the T17 and 50mm.

cheers guys!!

Yeah, we have enough crap here to do a target priorities rework in itself.

Like tanks targeting P4ists over 50mm HTs cause P4 armor is more dangerous than HT armor.
