Marko Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have been wondering for a while how come we do not have the ability To use this weapon system. When entering an urban area that extra machine gun would be a very useful addition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to urban operations were the main gun can not be used.In certain situations. I also noticed on the New Leo A7 seems to have a Remote MG on The loaders side.Very useful for the suppression of snipers and RPG teamsit makes no sense to model the loaders station in SB.but the ability to use the MGespecially in multiplayer games were one then one player can crew the tank.mite be useful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loader's position may not be modelled but the effect of him not being there would then need to be.Overall the effort to model something used in "certain" situations (say < 5% of the time) would seem a waste of resources.Regret the brevity but need to be somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daskal Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Actually if you go to the mission editor and put a Challenger 2 on the map and go into the ammunitions, you can see that the loaders MG is also listed... maybe a hint for neat things to come in the future now that looks like the loaders MG to me, so why put it in there at all if its not going to become active at all later on... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishHussar Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Could we not have the ability to place a remote weapon station onto the various MBTs as in real life both the Abrahms and CR2 have these when deployed on urban ops.Irish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but I think you'll find the "loader' on a T-72 will find it hard to operate the NSVT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
