They seemed easier to kill with anti viechle weaponry.

If you go back and watch very carefully you will find that the ATG's are firing HE NOT AP

Thanks, Don. I wasn't looking. Either way those 50mm had knocked out 6 out of 10 of my rides.

Not having a copy of spww2 how does that work? Just like an unarmored transport? with some small crew size?

Could motorcycles be done in such a way in MBT? or is it game code thing?

Re: Motorcycle/bike inf question/weirdness

In SPWW2, you have a "motorcycle squad" of ~6 men that is a normal infantry unit and then a "MotorcycleX3" that can carry 6 men and move 30. They are also lightly armed with a SMG and handgernades. Just load them up like any other unit.

Speaking of which, Don, am I to assume that the MotorcycleX3 is coaded as a viechle?

Harlikwin, you can download SPWW2 off of the Shrapnel Games website here - http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Camo_Wo.../WW2_page.html.
Well worth it in my opinion.

It's coded as a vehicle because it IS a vehicle.

Don, please forgive my stupidity on this. I woke up this morning and realized a couple of things - that I've asked a lot of stupid questions to which I either could have looked up the answer myself or, if I had thought about it, would have realized what the answer was. Thanks for your patience with me. Keep up the good work of maintaining one of the best games ever.
