Half track question - majog - 08-19-2007 Ok here is something sure to start a debate again. But since the German halftracks were mounted with the same MG as used by the MG teams in the OOB's why do they not have the same fire rate, effect and range as MG platoons. Also since they come 6 and not 4 to a platoon should not the fire effect be greater as would the defense effect of being in an armored vehical? :smg: RE: Half track question - Jason Petho - 08-19-2007 majog Wrote:Ok here is something sure to start a debate again.

They were, some how they were reverted back to the old halftrack values. This will be fixed in 1.03. Thanks for pointing it out. Jason Petho RE: Half track question - majog - 08-19-2007 The old values are also still in original WF &EF RE: Half track question - Afro Thunder - 08-19-2007 Yeah, but wouldn't all halftracks used by all nations end up with enhanced firepower in that case? In that case an M3 halftrack would have the same firepower as a dismounted .50 cal machinegun team.

Jason Petho RE: Half track question - Von Earlmann - 08-20-2007 Ah Generals, Wasn't the gunner an entegral part of the mounted infantry unit?Thus with no infantry the firepower should be.....dare I say...........0000000000000...........and thus ends von Earlmann's part in the latest great 1/2 track debate.......LOL RE: Half track question - majog - 08-20-2007 That is true so all 1/2 tracks should either need 2 passengers, LOL or they should be considered as part of the crew manning the vehicle. THe same can hold true for armor units. no crew no firing. RE: Half track question - Jason Petho - 08-20-2007 Von Earlmann Wrote:Ah Generals, My understanding is that the rear MG was the squad served weapon, which was dismounted when the squad exits the vehicle, while the front MG was the vehicle weapon served by the #2 of the halftrack crew.
