horus0129 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've found a strange debrief info during playing some M1A2 vs T-80U missions. The Abrams in autopilot fired HE ammunitions only. Of course they loaded AP shells and could fire them manually when I got 1st person vew control. The russian tanks, on the other hand, fired 125mm AP shells. And AT missiles also! Did I miss something? Or is it a realism feature? Or a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintifaxl Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Tanks firing HE at other tanks should be a bug. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invader ZIM Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I experienced this in an earlier version of the sim, but with 1.2.5 I'm not seeing that problem with M1's. Bear in mind that I tend to use Combined arms to just move my forces and select targets, so I don't drive them and aim with each vehicle. At the end of a mission I've noticed the only HE 120mm shots the Abrams take are at softer targets and it seems to model the last ready round. So if the tank fired HE at a BMP and then a T-80 shows up, it will fire the ready HE at it but all the subsequent rounds will then be AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 AI don't entirely choose which weapons to use in a given situation and any choice is basically "can I use X on Y target". In the case of engaging ground vehicles the AI will use AP rounds until it runs out and then switch to HE. If an AT missile is available it will either use it at range or after HE has been exhausted. Unfortunately it is a case where AP rounds could be re-armed before HE rounds are depleted and the AI will continue to fire HE rounds. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Invader ZIM Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks for the clarification Grimes, it helps me to understand the game logic a bit for my mission editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggii80 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Which is accurate to real-life tanking. (I used to be one). The command would go something like, (assuming battle-carry HEAT) TC: "Gunner, Tanks, Fire, Fire Sabot" Gunner: "Identified" Loader: "UP!" (He still has to pull up the arming handle even though there's a round in the breech) TC: Fire! Gunner: On the way! *BOOM*Lost! TC: Target! Loader: Places Sabot in the tube "Sabot UP!" TC: Fire! Gunner: On the way! *BOOM* Target, target. TC: Cease Fire, Driver, continue to bound...driver...driver...wake the **** up Driver... Driver: Huh? I'm awake, I'm awake! TC: ****in' drivers...you *****rds are always sleeping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
