Combat Mission Help - How to Get Half Tracks to Use Their 30 Caliber

[A Canadian Cat]

A rushed assault with HTs is tough to pull off. Usually you are better off with the infantry on foot and letting the HT gunners provide covering fire from back. But hey it is loads of fun and you will learn plenty so go for it... :-)

If you select the HT and invoke the acquire command then what you are doing is giving ammo and supplies to the crew. And Yes, the vehicle will not use ammo that has been acquired by the crew or any passengers. If you chose to dismount the crew and send them to fight alongside their platoon mates you could have them acquire the Bazooka or any Panzer Phausts. Personally I let the passengers have the HT AT assets and let the crew man the MG.
