Title: Cannot capture any gear?
Post by: Franky75 on January 23, 2010, 12:09:04 PM

Hi

I've looked on the official bugs list, and its not there so I have to ask.

Why can't I capture any gear with my russian forces? fx. If the crew dies at on of my AT guns, I cannot replace them with anyone, and as far as I've seen I cannot capture any gear with any soldier.

No Recrewing !

Our honorable soldiers would never pickup axis heavy weapons to use them. They would not know how to use them anyway. And, the German weapons are prone to breakdown. But this lack of training means the same for our own guns. Soviet Union infantry cannot recrew heavy weapons. As compensation, Soviet weapon crews number four men.  ::)

Nope.

You are only able to pick up rifles, RPG's, hand MG42 and so on.

This is due to a technical problem and has later one become part of the faction design.

You can use light weapons ("slot weapons") but not heavy weapons ("team weapons").
