>> and your not supposed to fire at artillery while it's being reloaded
Here's the rule: Field Artillery and Rocket Launchers may be reloaded at any time during the battle from a Supply Vehicle within 5 feet or from a Supply Depot within 10 feet, except when being fired upon To me that says you can't reload an artillery piece while it's being fired upon, not that I can't fire when you're reloading. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jvragu47 Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 7:00 PM To: R/C Tank Combat Subject: [TANKS] Re: Down the Rabbit Hole (or Frank's day of Pain, Wonderment, and Abandonment) Into the Valley of Death, drove the Six Tankers. Yes, it was that type of day. Doug's wireless card was not speaking to anyone for battle #1. Frank's gun did not want to work, luckily I had brought extra o-rings and plenty of lube. The Comet somehow threw a track during practice maneuvers. It was the beginning of an interesting day. The first battle was slightly different with Doug on the Navarone. Since it sits much higher than a tank, he did not realize that a little elevation meant high shots. Usually they were screaming past my ears. Hmmmm, maybe that was planned. I finally decided to put him out of his misery and attacked and destroyed the piece. That's when one motor went dead. As Frank led us through trying to decipher the cause I then heard the whispered words "opto-isolator problem". Anyway, valiant efforts to get the Comet mobile during lunch were abandoned and I brought out the base for the Bunker. It only took about 5 minutes to transplant the necessary parts out of the hull to make the turret operate as the Bunker. And then , I guess it was the balance of electrons freed from the opt-isolator, Doug's wireless card was on speaking terms now with the rest of his equipment. The carnage was magnificent. During the early stages of the battle Doug, Steve and Joe were driving as a unit. I was put out of commission twice when they were able to assault my position in unison. It was a little harder being artillery on this day as you had to double as the supply vehicle. Can you believe that we had 4 visitors, they actually drove to see the battles, and none of them wanted to drive a truck? Crazy man, crazy. And for those that posed a certain question, to make you feel better, I ordered tubes that hold only 10 rounds. Should I have to be the Bunker again, I'll only load 10 at a time just like the Navarone . But just remember, it's much easier to reload my Comet than the Navarone, and your not supposed to fire at artillery while it's being reloaded. Oh yes, the tubes have quick fill caps. I think my rate of fire will not be that much different. Besides ,it's all in the accuracy. Right Joe? Gun cam footage will be worked on later this evening, I should be posting some by tomorrow night.
