3 Commando Brigade

re Fool's Gold May19

Noticed a couple of issues on the FOOL’s Gold Isla Dualamap. I was FTL but when trying to engage a tank with an NLAW I could not fire
this is despite holding TAB and choosing Top Down and Direct attack.  It was armed as I changed tubes with my oppo
and it worked for him but not for me with 2 other NLAWs- Very odd Able also to
fire ILAWs Was KIA and returned to base and after spawning I was able to fire
an NLAW at base and later in the field.  Oppo
had a similar problem with a Javelin which he gave to me and I was able to
fire. We also noticed that when we killed the initial 3 tanks anotherthree appeared and when we got them yet another 3 spawned managed to get one
but ran out of AT so had to hightail it out of there.               Whilst itwas fun taking on the tanks it seemed a bit much spawning 9.   Additionally when we hit the tanks T72s even with NLAWs anda Javelin they did not explode or cook off most of the time

The issues with the launchers are weird ones. As for the spawning tanks, ALIVE is throwing up odd spawns because it is broken. We are hoping to replace ALIVE on the missions (or create new ones) with OSOD as soon as possible.

OSOD on public? Ohhhh lord help us all :D

It's why Lifetap initially created it, as an in-house replacement to ALIVE.

Ney, we have noticed that very occasionally a player cannot fire a certain weapon.  Dropping it on the floor and picking it up again seems to solve the issue.  Because it happens so infrequently we have never been able to narrow the problem to ACE or vanilla

what about the t72 it bugs out sometimes and after about 7 to 8 rockets from ILaws and NLaws only its tracks are damaged and even a charge to blow it up does not work

Are you sure this is a T72 and not a T90.  Later Russian tanks have really effective reactive armour.  To knock out you need to hit using a top attack, on their rear deck. Otherwise you're just knocking out a single brick of reactive armour.  

Also forget ILAWs against these.  You may get lucky with a HP but it will have to be a rear attack

Fools Gold shouldn't have T-90s from memory.

it was a t-72b (obr 1984g) I can try and upload the photos showing only the tracks are damaged after we hit the hell out off it with everything we had
