Flag possession

FLAG CONTROL TESTS

The manual states on p31- "Prisoners, ex-prisoners, forward observers, and unarmed vehicles exert no control over flags. Crews do, but you need several to reach the threshold"

Test 1, TRUCKS
As expected at the end of the game, they don't control the flag despite sitting on top of it..





Test 2, EMPTY MAIN GUN PzIVG's
Although I stripped all their main gun ammo (HE/ AP/ Tungsten/ Smoke), their MG's weren't empty and the flag is captured..





Test 3, EMPTY NASHORNS
Surprise surprise, although I stripped all their main gun ammo AND they have no MG's, they still captured the flag!






Test 4- Sd251/1's WITH MG AMMO hold the flag at the end..





Test 5- Sd251/1's WITH NO MG AMMO don't hold the flag at end because I'd area-fired all their ammo into the ground to fully deplete them all..




CONCLUSION- Empty MG's won't capture flags, but empty guns will.
