GV outside gun fires on its own.
« on: April 13, 2007, 08:54:10 AM »
It might just be me, but I've notice since the new patch if I'm in the outside machine gun view for Sherman, Panzer, ect ect that when I turn to look around the gun fires one or two bullets.  Anyone else have this? Never had this problem before.

Yes, several people in TT just now have been having the problem of contineous intermittent firing of single .50 cal rounds in the Sherman, regardless of position or action.

Man, i remember some of HT's older games, the tanks use to fire there top guns automaticly while the person drove or manned the gun.

So,perhaps they are just tryin' to make it "feal" more like war,with ai gunner taking a few pot shots from time to time.
Cant say as it would be a bad thing tho.
Im always down for my vehical taking pot shots at something while i do something else.
makes me feal so not alone.


Would be great to run a jeep into a town or base,knowing my gunner will be taking pot shots at targets of opertunity.
Would be much better to launch jeep raids and such then :)

Imagine driving, having someone .join to man turret then let the Ai hammer down with the .50's and .30's while the two other men do there thing.
dang i hope so.

Noticed the same thing.  I hear a tiny burst occasionally 1-2 rounds.

I seem to be getting 'ping' sounds. I thought it was a new 'shrapnel from heaven' effect. I kinda liked it.

This only seems to happen to me when I release my hat switch, and the game automatically switches from forward-right or forward-left back to the forward view. I'll hear the sound, but I'm pretty sure no rounds are being used.

I watched the rounds this weekend, its actually shooting the rounds.   1-2 at a time.  Thank god I have the tracers off.  And I noticed it is only on the M4.  Thanks to all who have replied, at least I'm not going crazy like I thought before.  Well maybe I am.

Totally different sound than the smoke canisters, I watched the round counter, and its definently taking 1-2.  Its not a big deal, but everytime I hear it I look for a jeep.
