strange unit stats in MG

Post by dickesKind »

Hello everybody,

Right now I am playing a multiplayer game on the map "Arnhem".
I am totally shocked by two units stats.
How is it possible that the airborne recce jeep has a fire power of 47(!) against soft targets?
Does it shoot nuclear missiles?
The second strange unit stat is the firing range of the Flammpanzer III.
It can shoot 6 tiles. This is crazy.
What do other players think?

Greetings...

Assuming that the Jeep has an MG, it should compare to units with MG. The German MG42 is 47 but the US and UK MGs are in the 30s.
You can call me junk - and type that with one hand.

Check them in game - the range of 6 is its MG. Flame is only 2 tiles :)

So these jeeps are equipped with german MG42? :P
And why can't infantry aim these beast?

It shouldn't - its flame range is only 2 tiles. It might be graphical glitch but it shouldn't be having any effect?

Hi Ian,

it does have no effect (but the MG-effect), but it irritates ;)

Anyways, I'd like to know what other players think about the airborne recce jeep.
In the anti infantry role for me it seems more effective than the Wirbelwind. And this is crazy.
