Can you resupply a tank?
« on: 15-04-2020, 05:04:54 »
Gang:

Won an SP round as the Americans on the 'Hurt-Again' Forest Map but it was a VERY close run thing; the REALLY decisive factors were the half tracks and the Sherman tanks but I started to get into trouble when my Sherman began to run out of HE ammo for the main gun and ammo for the .50 and the Co-Axial and hull machine guns.
Is there any way we can 'resupply' our tank?

Thanks ahead of time.

You can, but, there is only one way to do it. You must stand next to an ammo truck in order to resupply.

There are also pick-up kits that have an ammo box that you can drop next to a tank to slowly resupply it. The kits show up as a box with a rifle on top of it, but I don't remember if any are present on Hurtgen forest.

I have seen those boxes on other maps so I know exactly what you mean--I just never knew what exactly they were for. Kind of unfortunate the 'stand by the halftrack' trick doesn't work for tanks like it does for soldiers.

Also one way is to let a bot control the tank for a short time while you move to another position. This way the ammo will be refilled automatically in a short time.
