5.01 Arty bug

Post by Voriax »

Haven't seen this one reported yet...

An off-board arty units seem to become unavailable when the first tube rans out of ammo. The arty dialog will report it as 'no ammo left' even if the other guns still have plenty of ammunition.

Also another possible bug. I've seen one case that a unit got a 'point blank' opfire..when the range to the target was 7 hexes...kinda long point blank :)

In my case was a russian 45mm AT gun firing at 3 hexes at a Sherman

Yes, this is an old bug. I noticed and reported about it earlier. Don't know why they doesn't fix it.

We will look at it again, but sometimes the time to fix a bug is just too much compared to other things that are tobe done, so some bug fixes "fall off the plate".
