MG42 - DShK attack mode

[72sq_Savinio]

I all. I've some trouble with DShK attack capabilities. I've done a infantry urban combat placing a front of MG42 against the same DShK number. When the battle start (with "Attack ground Target" selected in MCU Command: Attack Area) DShK not attack the MG42 and are annihilated by MG42 firepower.

 

So i've done some poor test:

 

If i change in "Attack ground" in MCU Command: DshK did the job.

 

with a vehicle in range DshK started to fire at vehicle without issue

 

So i've tried to change DshK with an armored car, and the unit didn't attack the MG42

 

Attack mode seems to be correct because units with attack ground command start to fire

 

Someone have experienced the same issue?

 

Thanks!

This was an area I hadn't tested enough when I had to stop playing for a while. 

 

Attack ground (area) seemed to be working best. But sometimes ground units would attack anything in range automatically (without any MCUs from me) - including "neutral" units that I'd forgotten to assign a side to!

I also tried without MCU but MG42 continue to be invisible to the others..

Hi Savinio,

 

Just an aside: I was wondering where you get the MG42; I don't see it in the object library.

 

I'm investigating how various attack setups work for the editor manual so I'll try out your scenario. 

 

Thanks.

Sorry i mean MG34, not MG42.

Ah, just a typo. Thanks!
