Since patch when i click de-crew howi. They retreated fine. But in one game i moved my howi next to my call in spot. hit decrew and they just popped off and became regular unarmed inf. I could control where they went and all. But they had no retreat button. Couldnt mess with them and figure it out, since the enemy came and took them out. Vet 3  Got Lock and Loaded |

Its a bug. You can see this happen to any weapon crew. But it is rare/ doesn't happen that often. Its just something that happens.

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.

If you try and retreat anything in the spawn zone they just stand there. With weapon crews they dismount the weapon and stand there.
You need to either activate the Manual retreat button(like tanks use) or move them out of the spawn and hit retreat again

Don't build it so close to the spawn if you don't want this to happen

This happens even when build out of spawn so the crew is unretreateble so your only choise is to win the game or run it into the enemy
its rare yes but this shit happens

We can probably give the howitzer crew an off-map retreat toggle for when this happens.

Yep this would be the perfect solution. And all support weapon crews. Sometimes they bug out even out in the field and have to manually walk off. |

However, if a lone pioneer (example) is harrasing your mortar, you can move it back to your spawn area and hit de-crew, and the three carbine-armed guys can easily deal with the pioneer? Ive never tried it myself but according to how the retreat function works it might. Question is if youd lose the vet when you re-crewed the mortar.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

Have an engie (preferably the one that plants your triage, which your howie shouldnt be fielded without) upgraded with 2x Mines. Place those and bags/wire around your howie and/or triage. Even if you never garrison the bags with troops as an impromptu doom fort, they slow down bikes/other harrasing shite. If they dont retreat: Garrison a trench. Garrison a building. Manually order them to attack-move to your spawn and turn on the manual retreat (harassing pios will lose to the 3 guys w. carbines. If they get attacked by a bike, just order them to move without attacking, and hope you're close enough to your spawn to make it).
Does the L&L howie still move, or was that removed because of the bug it caused? Havent tested it but the movement part of L&L is gone from the description.

oh necro this now.
Yesterday i had a vet 3 howi built a good distance from the spawn point. We got over ran, i hit retreat. They got off the gun and then I think they started to retreat or move out, or maybe 2/3 crew just died on the gun and then wanted to retreat.
Point is i hit retreat. And there was just 1 crew member left standing next to the gun. I couldnt click on him, as i tried to manually move the unit. But it was unmovable but the enemy was able to target him instead of the gun.
