i did err posting these in teh order. at least i am unable to find my thread, so my guess is roshambo ate it.

1) how the heck do i launch/throw grenades?
b) how do i use the 50 cal mg when gunner in a tank?
vii) does anyone play that game still?

strange thing is, io managed to play ~80 percent of the game including the sp missions and the nostalgia missionpack from the AvonLady w/o using the aforementioned weaponry. but its a major pain in the rear to take down like 5 rpg soldiers w/ HEAT.

thanks in advance, horst
 
I used to play it a lot, but I guess I kinda grew tired of it.

And the answer to your second question would be: use the in-game mini-menu. You know, that little menu where you can also choose to put your rifle on your back 'n all.
About the grenades: you should get to them by changing firemodes.
 
hmm, that could work. i just wonder: there is no such option in the little menu. i use it quite often to reload HEAT/SABOTs, but no MG available. neither in t72, t80, nor abrams. the abrams at least should have the option, as the t80, both are clearly equipped with them guns.
edith piaf: i do recall being blown to bits by a single t72 when doing an infantry mission. tank chewed up all my men except me (i was hidden in a bush) and didnt even bother to use the big gun. so t72 should have that option too. perhaps ill try the firemode trick there too.
 
You should be able to either change it by telling your gunner team mate to change his weapon or cycling the weapons you have if you are in the gunner seat.

I'd recommend reading the manual and going through the tutorials if you get stuck as this kind of thing is all covered by it. It's how everyone else learned how to do it.

Oh yes, if you have a less than legitimate copy then it could be part of the degrading that you get with their special copy protection, FADE.

Guess again. While it is amazing that you do notice that The Order is a separate forum community (now), you still need to work on your observation skills.
 
Huh?

You could've posted this in the Order.

I wonder who moved it.


Edit - Hm, it was Kharn. Oh well.

thx for the input. i own teh goty edition which (as avonlady will surely second) has some strange bugs, including the infamous fade protection kicking in. and: the manual of the goty edition is, quite frankly, a tad insufficient when it comes to exactly these 2 points. i am otoh quite sure its not fade-related; i am still able to aim true and take down everything including hinds from my tank.

sometimes, it is better to be gunner in tank missions rather than commander (xcept for the missing radar). gunners tend to shoot thru houses and hills or sometimes even miss simply b/c the target is behind a hill or something. normally they give you the "negative" reply when thats the case.

still, its the only game i play on a more or less regular basis. one cathartic "clean sweep", and the day is saved =)
