Bots pickup fallen weapons.

[Shaq]

Did anyone else notice that the Soviet bots pick up panzershreks and things like that?

Soviets can pick up hand-held weapon systems (LMGs, shrecks, etc...). What they cannot pick up are crew weapons (AT guns, 88mm, MG42, mortar etc...)

I thought the soviets couldnt pickup anything due to a bug they had, I guess i gotta try that for myself

[thebomb]

Yeah the bug is still there like I said - but only for heavy weapons.

it"s not a bug, it is done on purpose: soviet soldiers didn't know how to handle german heavy weapons (i read it somewhere on this forum)

[Shaq]

Ye, but the real reason was because it was a bug.

Yes but they should be able to re-crew their own heavy weapons.

On an interesting note, both german factions can re-crew Russian heavy weapons like mortars and AT, but Russians cannot re-crew any heavy weapons at all
