Hedgehog Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hello So mucking around in SB, I found as a Centurion driver I can turn the turret using hand cranks! LoL Whether this works for other tanks I haven't tried it out yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 6, 2021 Members Share Posted March 6, 2021 Crew members will switch places if others are disabled. Whether that's realistic in every case is debatable, but that's one of the basic rules/assumptions/simplifications we decided very early on during the design phase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted March 7, 2021 Members Share Posted March 7, 2021 Well, there is no animation or other indication (other than the gun rotating while the tank idles). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 But if he is able to operate the turret hand cranks whilst occupying the driver position, that seems odd, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Also, i dont recall ever seeing an instance of the driver operating the turret or gun in steel beasts (If the turret crew are dead, the turret is dead). The driver cannot move to the turret, and the turret crew cannot move to the drivers position.

Members Ssnake Posted March 7, 2021 Members Share Posted March 7, 2021 I'm not saying that there can't be a bug in this. But how do you know that the driver did occupy the driver's position while operating the turret (except that you never observed it with other tanks in SB Pro)? The report here was made by Hedgehog. Have you seen it too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumituisku Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Nice find @Hedgehog @SsnakeI just tested this. While Gunner and or commander are alive Driver when hitting arrow keys will be able to hand crank turret and AI stops moving turret. Someone needs to be alive in turret though, if gunner and commander are dead driver cannot control hand cranks I have feeling that this bug might be related or reason of older killed bug of where gunner wasn't able to use hand cranks / manual traverse or change to operation mode to manual. I suppose it was because controls were on driver xP heres unlisted video to show it. Strange, amusing little thing and pretty harmless I suppose, unless someone wasnts to sabotage others gunnery on shotkal Edited March 7, 2021 by Lumituisku 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
