Possible to repair other tanks in single player mode?

[nonetpochylski]

Greetings all,

 

Is it possible in single player mode to have other tanks in your platoon get repaired?  It's frustrating to have them all sitting around with damaged tracks but not being able to do anything about it.  As always, thanks in advance!

only if the creator of the mission has foreseen this, but there is no order or touch to repair the allied tanks he smble me ... maybe try the "cut the engine" and "open the hatches" odres ...

@ nonetpochylski, does it work?

Haven't had the situation come up since your suggestion; will post if/when/whether it works once I get a chance to try it out.

Finally got the situation (single player) where other tanks in platoon were damaged.  Issued orders to platoon to kill engines and open hatches but it failed to work.  It was a Tigre mission and simply may not have been programmed into the mission.

I've experienced this as well. I was playing the Tigre mission for Kharkov.  The other Tiger's in my platoon had broken tracks.  No joy with getting them to repair.  I sure needed their help towards the end of the mission.  Here I was, the lone Tiger approaching and had at least six enemy tanks to deal with, and I only had 7 rounds of APHE.  You can guess the ending...  ?    Cool mission though!  Tigre does a great job.

thank you 
this mission is just a small training mission that I provided for the community at the very beginning. 
concerning the fact that the friendly tanks can repair their track and join the platoon they were in would pose serious problems in relation to the programming, there are problems that would appear, events that do not trigger when they should etc., it's long to explain, but I can guarantee you that it would pose big problems to the proper functioning of the game. 
in fact the best solution would be to make some friendly tanks invincible, you can even make them invincible up to a certain point then they become vulnerable. 
there are a lot of possible solutions to solve the problem. 
it seems to me that for this mission I didn't even put any ammunition resupply? 
If you are interested in the mission I can rework it so that you can finish it more easily

thanks buddy, an ammo resupply would be great!  thank you for the explanation as well regarding the complexity.  no need for the "uber" AI, but an ammo resupply will definitely help.  Many thanks again for your missions, I love playing them!!
