Vetted Squads manning Crew weapons
« on: April 19, 2012, 04:46:07 AM »
I saw it recently mentioned that IronCross squads manning a HMG were most potent when Support vet three was purchased. I have noted that captured crew weapons retain the identity of the capturing squad. Do these crews use their stats to operate the weapon? If I man a ZIS2 with THs what kind of vet do I get?

Thread bump, do weapons recrewed by grenadiers function better than ones recrewed by volks? etc.

It doesn't work like that, the only thing they retain is the original weapon, the HP per entity and the unit type(critical/armour). Veterancy is not the same than the squad that crews it, that's already predefined ;).

Weapons have a health associated with them. Is the crew health specific to the weapon type or just a generic value/crew member for any crewed weapon?

EDIT: So I want to recrew with Stormovie rather than ings or strelky. What is the basis for reinforce cost?

I standardly man crew weapons with strelky. More so to preserve the orignal squad. 1 m Ing Squads have the unsettling habit of dieing before they return to base. I will check the reinforce cost for Stormovie but I think it is much lower than v1.5. maybe too low. The reason I like to use Stormovie crews is their better armor class.

Sturmovie is 18MP per man. IDK what crazy price you are referring to.

Basically when a crew remans a weapon, they retain their health and armor. Vet doesn't change that. Th crew manning the weapon doesn't change the weapon vet either. Basically, they're independent.

Do they still receive the CS vet bonus?

Good. I've been under the impression that vehicles and crewed weapons didn't benefit from the CS bonus.

I think as long as its infantry, it benefits from CS vet.
