Help required - why not use the bazooka...

Guys - some assistance if anyone can...



In a recent game, this squad went head to head with some German armour, and rattled through their store of Bazooka rounds - in a convenient lull, I managed to get them to a vehicle and reload, but perhaps in the meantime they swapped out to that great antitank weapon the rifle grenade....

Despite being still confronted by armour (and as the screen shows - I would be nervous too) they have not decide to use the dangerous bazzokerie thing... and possibly remove the very dangerous german tank thing. Instead turn after turn just passes?

Is this a lap of the gods thing? Am I just waiting for some shavetail to get his head out of his ass sort it?

Damned frustrating...
 
Doesn't really explain WHY this is happening (well, I wouldn't want to be too helpful ...:)) .... but, in the UI graphic above, although the (don't know the "proper names for the different bits of the screen ...) "special equipment" icons show them as having a bazooka (along with bino's and the zook rounds), the "weapons in use" icons for each squad member don't show a zook in use by any of the squad ....

Perhaps when they first ran out of zook ammo and the guy with it swapped to his normal weapon, having done that he cannot (?) switch back to the zook even tho he now has the ammo ???
 
And anyway, how did you manage to use up all the original zook rounds and keep the team alive? For me, firing the first zook round means instant death from the tank, which swats the squad after the zook round misses (that's if they ever even get a chance to fire a zook round in the first place ... :()
 
@nathangun No armour arc I was leaving them to their own devices pretty much...

@PhilM Yes I think the same as you - my moment had past! I keep reading about squads sharing ammo and reload - and I have seen it happen - but sometimes when they are up against it, they do seem to take a perverse delight in doing the wrong thing - still off to write another your fallen pixeltruppen won't be coming home letter!

I just thought maybe I was misinterpreting what the various boxes meant... Glad it isn't just me...

And here I am afraid I am going to turn that around and say - why the hell is the German tank and the squad still alive when they have fired everything off! Have they no shame!
