Rearming Tanks

[br@cob 10]

I tried a search for this issue, but could not find it. I'm also not sure where the best place to post this is, because it is an issue with both single and multiplayer

games.

Once you run out of ammo in a T-72 or M1 Abrams, you are out of luck. I could not find a way to rearm the tank. You can refuel them at a fuel truck, you can repair a tank (providing it is not totally destroyed) at a repair truck, but the ammo trucks are useless for tanks. Has anyone found a way to rearm tanks? (other than writing a script).

I'm running ver 1.02.

Yeah, does anyone know how to do this? I'm playing the Dogs or war mission, and I got a pair of tanks that's doing most of my city taking while I'm flying around. They need to be re-armed though. Anyone know how to do that? I tried getting into one and driving it to the square that represents the city in the hopes of "rearm, heal and repair" option. Nothing happens.:confused:

There is ammo crates for vehicles.

has anyone tested if the vehicle rearm bug from Arma1 was fixed? Where when you depleted all the ammo from a vehicle that had clips it would only rearm with 1 clip/magazine.

i'm currently playing bear rising and i think it is rearming properly when i choose to rearm from action menu near by captured enemy base. I will double check this tonight and post back.

I play WARFARE and I'm able to rearm just fine from the Support Truck. I've also seen my AI squads send their M1's and other units to drive all the way to my base to rearm and refuel or even repair. Very impressive on that note for the AI.

I guess I should have explained that in the Campaign, the tanks will repair and rearm once you take a town and you are parked near the objective. But they don't rearm at the ammo trucks in other scenarios. I'll have to try crates in the editor and see if those will work.

Yeah most of the problem is still there haven't tested on all vehicles though.

I couldn't switch back to AP rounds in the LAV, only loaded the HE rounds again and again.

And i needed my AP for destroying armour :mad:

also a very old 'bug' since OFP ..you need to save atleast one AP/HE round.

same counts for tanks, then it will re-arms everything :bounce3:

*edit I think that counts for every weapon on the tanks/armoured.
