Is this some sort of error? The mounted machine guns on some custom tanks (not all) register as AT weapons. With their rate of fire, it simply chews through the armor of the tank it's attacking, and make for a very overpowered tank. Is there a fix out for it or in progress?

Hmmm, the modders don't seem to mind this. I fixed it in my game and I'm going to upload the proper files, but with a bigger mod that will change the gameplay a lot. So you can wait for my mod or adjust it yourself: go into CP3-Main\units and CP3-RfB\units. Here you have files with .unit extension. You can open them with notepad. The line you need to change is Unit.Gunners.0.Gunner.WeaponType = 2. If you type 0 instead of 2, you have MGs. 1 stands for armour piiercing bullets, 2 is artillery shell and 3 is flamethrower. In most tanks "gunners.0" refers to the main gun, so you need to find Unit.Gunners.1.Gunner.WeaponType = 1 and Unit.Gunners.2.Gunner.WeaponType = 1 and change the weapon type to 0.

Alright. I didn't know this was a do-it-yourself kind of thing. Thanks.

Hey there is there any chance to change the units attack range?

Of course. But you can easily figure it out yourself. If you can't, open the spoiler.

Unit.Gunners.0.Gunner.HandToHand / Ranged.Ranged.MaxRange = Vehicle_MaxRange
Vehicle max range=45. You can put exact number or look into unitvariables.ini for typical values. You need to unpack it first.


i see but if i want to change something in the original units from panzer II ? like the anti tank riflemen attack range

I don't know. You can try unpacking the .unit files you need. I can't see any useful line in unitvariables.ini sad

Well I have done this several times in artillery units for example. In the german sfh-18.unit I entered this:
Unit.Gunners.0.Gunner.HandToHand / Ranged.Ranged.MinRange =50
Unit.Gunners.0.Gunner.HandToHand / Ranged.Ranged.MaxRange = 200

You don't need to change the unitvaribles file in order to make changes in range (i think). Just type in a number and test it in the editor to see if you hit the right range. smile Hope it was useful for you Jestorm20.

You just need to change the file of the unit. Open the file, search for "Unit.Gunners.0.Gunner.WeaponType = 1"

In case of the Main gun it should be = 1
If its an MG it should be = 0

Then the problem should be fixed.  wink
