If you can try loading the mortar, it doesn't work for me.

Simple...... the Dakota isn't set up to load guns......that mortar unit is a normal arty class and therefore will not load into it.......that is the MAIN reason why we introduced DF mortars so players could get mortar support into aircraft but not load AT guns and arty into things like a Dakota

That DW unit was created about a decade ago and this is the first report I have received that it's a problem....it's not a problem in later years as the larger transports have the ability to load guns..... I will look into correcting it tomorrow

That will solve that problem, thanks. I wasn't complaining but it didn't make sense, and since you guys are the keeper of the grail now it fell into your lap. If SSI or GG was still around I would have asked them, you can't fault me for asking and trying to clarify it; I would think appreciation for pointing out an error on something that can confuse players.

Anyway, it is corrected now and all is sunshine (except for the rain here in BC).

one big difference is WE answer questions, SSI never did

I will need to spend tomorrow morning going over all of this again..... the reason the US OOB may have been set up as it was because there were no aircraft gun capable.....so the opposite of why the Candian formation failed to load and by setting up a new formation with regular mortars I might be setting myself up for a new complaint next year

DRG · #6 January 23rd, 2018, 09:35 PM

Yep........ I was right and should have clued in right away..... the reason the US formation uses those mortars in its para formations is there is NO aircraft with gun lift capability during those years so disregard the comments about any new formation that gives regular mortars to [A] formations that don't have gun lift capability

The French have the Dakota ST which I fortunately bought some of and was able to get my French pack howitzers onto. LC of 128.

Very good you have now justified why we jumped through all those hoops to PREVENT exactly what you did...pack howitzers onto an aicraft that should never have them loaded into...now I have something else to fix though a quick look at that OOB seems to show they were deliberately set up that way from the beginning at least 15 years ago for formation 153 and since I have zero interest in tearing that OOB apart to " fix" something that's existed in this way for a decade an a half all I can say is " have fun"...... but I will sort out the issue with the CDN para mortars....it's looking like this way a wrong unitclass but I will dig deeper tomorrow

But SSI did refund my money when I bought one of their games, the WW2 ship combat one, and it was so boring; aim at target, hit space bar to shoot, aim at target, hit space bar. I called and told them it was boring and they refunded me my money...cool.

***BTW - that mortar that won't load is a DF mortar***

What game was that? The only recent SSI game with ships that I can think of (Just woke up) is Fighting Steel, and that was not boring.
