Title: M3 dropping troops change
Post by: surfinn on October 13, 2012, 12:00:15 PM: I set my salvo to 10 when drooping troops. When I'm in the cab and drop the troops I would like to be able to man the gun to protect them while they are exiting the vehicle. So the wish is that if you have it set to salvo 10 once your tell them to get out of the M3 they continue to do so even if you've switched to your gun.

I don't know I've never tried. But heck once the order is given to get out of the vehicle they should get out :)

Post by: SmokinLoon on October 14, 2012, 07:40:54 PM: It is a bit frustrating to have to be sitting in the driver position the entire time the troops are piling out the rear door, I agree. It would be nice to be able to be in the gunners position and let them run. :aok

Its a 50cal and you would be surprised at what a singel 50 can do at close range. I can turrent a wirble. Or shot back at another m3 or kill the jeep that just ran out of the hanger to kill my troops. etc etc
This post is not about bombers its about m3s

yes of course that's why m3's have thousands of kills a month on airplanes.

Yes, when a gunner joins an M3 they are fixed to the #2 position while the driver is fixed to the driver's position.

I think he's syaing its impossible to change the one without changing the other as its the same mechanic for both? As for Eric's comment is it possible to salvco 10 with a longer delay and be in the guns while the bombs are salvoing? I have never tried, I assumed if you change to guns they would stop falling.

dont really care about the m3 but this is just like the wish from the vtards about allowing pilots to man the guns while the bombs are still falling. i believe it has been said before that it's the same mechanics. so i wouldnt want it to be changed for the bombers. :salute

Post by: surfinn on October 15, 2012, 08:39:12 PM: Nathan I would think that you could separate the two very easily but I get what your saying. It is a lot like bombers in the salvo comand but you would think the coding would be different. I don't really know and without Hiteck or skuzzys input we wont know. I still want a m3 to be able to defend its troops without having a rider along though. Ya tell the army guys to get out, they should be smart enough to get out without you having to watch them get out :lol
