Raging Tiger: questions

pigpen · #1 July 30th, 2008, 03:00 PM

Hope I'm not the only one using RT, because it's a lot of fun, and a totally different challange than WinSPMBT. Any tips from other users would be appreciated.

Anyway, I have some questions about the "Beach Party" scenario...specifically about my artillery.

All the 155mm towed artillery and the PLS Flatrack of IF ammo are emplaced at the beginning of the scenario and cannot be moved. That makes sense since they would need trucks to hitch up to the guns to move them, I'd guess.

So, how do I reload those guns when they are out of DPICM rounds, since I can't move neither the guns or the Flatrack, and they're not in the "reload circle" when I choose "UPLOAD"? I've got all this ammo on the Flatrack that I can't use...

Also, the 155mm guns and the Flatrack all have symbols above and below their icons: the one above is a blue arrow on a "NOT" symbol (circle with line diagonally thru it); the one below is a red cross on a "NOT" symbol. I'm guessing the top symbol means I can't move them, correct? Or what? And the bottom one?

Do you still have the ammo uploading problem when you show vehicles and try to load them individually? You might have to do that to upload some of the ammo.

The circles with arrows mean you can't move the vehicle during setup. The cirle and cross means you can only give the unit fire missions, not other types of orders.

Trying to upload ammo individually is the way I was trying to do it...since I can't move the guns or the Flatrack either during setup or during play, I can't get them close enough to do an upload.

I tried going into the Scenario Editor, and I still can't change the icons to let me move the units either during setup or play, BUT what I did was to change the units to Paladins. Now I can move them at either time, but I only move them during setup; I use them as if they were towed arty during the game.
