M4 - 75mm - Turret mounted Rockets bug?
« on: May 19, 2010, 11:06:36 AM »
I was watching one of my a allied M4 - 75mm tank fire the rockets on his turret, he was saying that when you move your turret to aim on a target. That the rockets would still fire straight ahead. Even thought he was aiming away from the front / straight ahead position.

They appear to be attached to the turret not the hull of the M4 tank.  

This might be another bug, If not.

 :headscratch:  Then why are they firing straight ahead?

It seems to be an online view bug: You may just see another player's rockets going the wrong way. I could not duplicate this bug with my own tank alone - both online & offline my rocket laucher always turned with the turret.

With a gunner on your PT boat, it looks like he is pointing 180o the opposite of the direction he is firing.

Sounds like Lusche said, a view bug.

Maybe this photo will help show how that calliope is mounted.

I have noticed this as well, but i figured it was because I was moving while firing.
