CBE Shells Not Able to be Fired - 7/23/2011 11:36:46 PM

Has anyone else found that they are unable to fire CBE shells from their Panzer IVG even though they have shells available? I have had this happen on 3 occassions and what happens is that I select the CBE shell but when I try to select a point to fire I get told that the point is "Out of Range" no matter what point I try to select.

Thanks,

Mark C.

I think there is a minimum range set for CBE from Pz IVGs. I think it's 200m.

Hi Rick,

Well don't I feel REALLY stupid! Didn't know about the range limitation of CBE shells but now I do. Thanks for the heads up.

On another point, have you any thoughts as to why both your save game and mine in that campaign became corrupted? Is there any way I can continue the campaign without finishing that game?

Thanks for all your help.

Mark,

I haven't had time to get back to that corrupted game yet. My game time has been spent working on testing some of the upcoming patch, and on a map for another player. I'm also trying to recover work on some Squad leader scenario ports.

I'll check one more thing on your map. But I'm not hopeful.

Thanks
Rick

Yes, unlike WP and HE with super quick fuses the CBE shell has to stop moving to do it's work. So when fired at very short range the cannister will ricochet and skip and finally end up down range even if it first hits somewhere close.
