25mm chaingun does not engage infantry units?

Post by Tcao »

OK, I may live with the fact that 120mm HEAT won't engage infantry units (RPG gunner, ATGM operators, MT-12 , SPG-9 and towed artillery) , but why 25mm chaingun won't engage infantry units? Any explanation for that?

Attached is a testing scenario/save file of M3 CFV in front of a target rich enviornment, and you can see from the log as well as ammunition summary sheet , M3 only use 7.62mm MMG to engage targets.

And here is another potential issue.
infantry weapons , HMG, autocannon ROF is too low.
In a 10 min engagment , each M3 CFV expend 9 bursts of 7.62mm.

I'll review this over the weekend and see why the 25mm and maybe other autocannons are not dealing with soft targets. Thanks for the test case.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
