Maginot line turrets

[chuckfourth]

The French Maginot line turrets can't turn in-game. In reality they could traverse 360 degrees. One rotating turret type is also missing which contains the 25mm AT gun.

I must agree here, and a relative easy fix I would think.

I guess your bon hommes forgot to oil the mechanisms, those things rust and fast!!!:re::D

Bob out:D

I have often wondered how common they were though. All the forts I have visited and the ones for which I got detailed armament lists had the twin 135/81/75/MG turrets. There must have been some of them somewhere but were definitvely not that common.
All the dedicated antitank guns listed were 47mm in casemate.

Hi Don
No need to look into this. Seems I have uncovered some ancient forgotten SP lore. To turn the tourelles you simply opposite click an enemy unit visible to the turret, it then turns to face the enemy.

If i ever play as the french in a static defense i will remember this but would use the slow moving Char's mostly at least they can move:D

As You are the opponent the put me in the dire situation that got the turrets turning, I guess we both get a credit in the help file when it goes in ;)

What you "uncovered" was what we like to call "a bug" so don't get too comfortable with it.
