Default Maginot line turrets

The French Maginot line turrets can't turn in-game. In reality they could traverse 360 degrees. One rotating turret type is also missing which contains the 25mm AT gun.

and

Best Regards Chuck.

Lightbulb Re: Maginot line turrets

I must agree here, and a relative easy fix I would think.

I guess your bon hommes forgot to oil the mechanisms, those things rust and fast!!!

I have often wondered how common they were though. All the forts I have visited and the ones for which I got detailed armament lists had the twin 135/81/75/MG turrets. There must have been some of them somewhere but were definitvely not that common.
All the dedicated antitank guns listed were 47mm in casemate.

Hi Don
No need to look into this. Seems I have uncovered some ancient forgotten SP lore. To turn the tourelles you simply opposite click an enemy unit visible to the turret, it then turns to face the enemy.
Best Regards Chuck.

What you "uncovered" was what we like to call "a bug" so don't get too comfortable with it.
