Im pretty sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer, is there a way to make tank commanders maning the AA machine gun 'button up' and hide inside the vehicle? Im getting really tired of having my tank crews culled by sniper fire

[Zeke Wolff]

Not as far as I know, and that´s why many tanks in DCG made for vanilla MoW has the turret AAMG removed from those tanks that it was rare to see a AAMG on (mainly German, some Brittish and Russian tanks).

If you you open up your tanks inventory you will see a machine gun selected, usually this is the aa mg but sometimes it is the coaxial or hull mg. Double click on this mg to deselect it. If the mg on the inventory screen is the aa mg it will disappear from your tank. You can reselect the mg at any time, but as long as it is deselected the tanks crew should not open up the commanders hatch. If a guy is already looking out of the hatch when you deselect the mg you may have to tell him to get out and back in. Hope this helps.

im sleepy im going to bed and just on purpose im gonna get all my tank commanders sniped cause they never get sniped they get blown up

[moridin]

Didn't work Tried with panzerIVH, the machine gun disappears but the gunner stays there cradling an invisible gun. Tell him to get out and get back in and he goes back to the same spastic looking pose.

Oh well, thanks anyway mikep!

[Ty2903]

Probably because the tank is full, and there is nowhere else for him to go but to that position. Mike's suggestion probably works well with under-crewed tanks.

[moridin]

In a panzer IVH the AA machine gun position is always the last to be filled anyway. If the tank is under filled the sniper problem doesn't occur in the first place.
