(1.3) Vickers MG to weak?

[Mr. Someguy]

Or when they send in Panzer Grenadiers to draw its fire, the Kettenkrad can capture just about any point before dying...

Quick question.
Can you order the MG nest to attack a specific target (like a ketten instead of PGrens)?

I may be wrong, but I am fairly sure you can.

The US and WM Bunkers I'm less sure about.

I'm not sure... I rarely get the opportunity to try it. But, if you can, i'm sure that'll make things much easier!

In my experience, the Vickers will target the first enemy to come within range, and keep shooting at it until it's either out of range, or dead. So i think that's why the A.I. will send in Panzer Grenadiers to draw its fire, get pinned so they take little damage, and send in the Kettenkrad to take the point the Vickers is covering, then pull the Kettenkrad out and retreat the Panzer Grenadiers. The A.I. can be scarily smart sometimes... Shit, i shouldn't have watched those Terminator films... I'm gonna have nightmares now!

[Mr. Someguy]

Okay guys, I tested it multiple times, and here are the confirmed results.

American M1917 MG Nest: Can NOT change targets
Wehrmacht MG42 Bunker: Can NOT change targets
British Vickers MG Nest: Can change targets
PE 2cm Flakvierling 38: Can change targets

The American and Wehrmacht MG Bunkers are both considered buildings, while the British Vickers and Panzer Elite Flakveirling are both considered units, and can be commanded as such.


Oh, and as someone mentioned earlier, the Vickers MG's field of view is much smaller than it's arch shows.

Thanks for clearing that up for us, Mr. Someguy! ...If that is your real name....

[Mr. Someguy]

No problem, glad to clear it up.
