Cars as shells fired by M1gun - fixed

[CorvusX]

Hi,

 

sorry if this has already been reported. (I haven't found anything about it)

 

It's quite some time (since 4.004?) that i thought, while I was playing one of my missions where artillery fire goes down near the starting airfield:

 "Great they made the artillery shells visible". 

 

Well I now realized they didn't.

 

I've tested around a bit and it seems to be only the "M1gun" that fires cars (Horch830) sometimes.

They don't fire cars all the time but quite often. The "Horch" is flying like an artillery shell would do and also "explodes" when it hit the ground.

 

See Pics below. To reproduce just watch some M1guns fire 3-4 times then nearly every ~3rd shot is a manned "Kamikaze-Horch"

or you can use the attached mission (used plane Bf109G2) and watch the guns (STRG+F5) fire a couple times.

 

Edit: I'm not using any Mods and it's on both versions (Steam and "Launcher")

Something have went unplanned. To be fixed ASAP.

That's either an Easter egg or the most hilarious bug I've seen in this game. No wonder the Axis lost at Stalingrad.

This bug should not be fixed.  In fact, we should be given a list of objects that we can have fired by the artillery.

Watermelons, whole chickens, tanks.... The possibilities are endless!

 

Oooh!  Richard Simmonses!  ?

Please don't fix this ? - could be the best bug ever !

 

Any chance of getting an Evil Knievel bike ?

[WWChunk]

This is phenomenal!!

Hi.

 

well, if we like it or not, it has been fixed (very fast, btw.) 

 

 

I have to admit,  beside of a possible tribute to the "flying circus" (clowns cars in combination with guys fired of a cannon) that I thought of,

it somehow reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 

 

 

Now we know it was just a debugging test.

 

[ZachariasX]

Too bad. I loved the car cannons.

Aaaaargh...

You were faster than me on this one.

My joke was going to include a reference to a future V2 though, but...

"Join the supply corps, they said. You'll be safe just driving around behind the lines, they said!"

I'm going to need a toggle-able option to select these as the cannon ammunition, please.

[Gooseh]

Car looks good...a lot better than the planes.......grab him before he crashes, maybe he can make templates?

Finally on the subject, i decided to show the first and also maybe last moving pictures on this:

 

 

 

 

For non German native speaker:

German: Horch was kommt von draußen rein

English: Listen to what's coming in from outside
