4.8.5.0 Terror Doc Grenadiers, Stg44 disappears

[Merkkari]

First. When Grenadier squad has 6xstg44 guns and they take British 17 pounder AT gun (crew 5), the gun crew switches all their guns to Kar95k weapons. So 2 men handles gun and it then has 3x98k rifleman instead of 3xstg44.

Repeated this 2 times and same result, it may happen with other cannons/mortals/Mg:s as well. Are others experienzing same problem when issuing 6xstg44 grenadier squad to abandoned weapons, that stg44 changes to default Kar98k rifles??

Second. Is it intentional when putting more weapon upgrades to grenadiers it goes like this?

-Default 3xstg44 3x98k
-Stg update 3xstg44 + 3xstg44 more. One updates. Result: 6xstg44
-Mg42 update + 2xStg44 update more. Two updates. Result: Mg42 + 5xstg44
-Panzershrek update + 2xStg44 update more. Two updates. Result: Panzershrek + 5xstg44
-Panzershrek update + Mg42 update + 1xStg44 update. All 3 updates Result: Panzershrek + Mg42 + 4xstg44

So problem is if you take 3xstg44 update first, you cant have second weapon update. This is problem.

It's not a glitch. It just happens because the squad turns into a weapon crew, and the Stg44's are special weapons. Just like if you tell an AT Squad to re-crew a mortar, the new mortar crew doesn't have bazookas. Weapons crews can't have special weapons.

I think that is false, I recrewed a 17 pounder I lost as British with an Airborne Sapper Squad, and he kept his flamethrower.

And that's just one example, I have seen other weapons on Weapon Crews too.

Not really sure to be honest...but I think that if you send a squad to capture a weapon they take the weapons that are set as default in their game files - that's why KCHs retained their MP44s. But Grenadiers have as default weapon Kar98k and MP44s are gained through an upgrade.

It's probably default weapons, but it could also be whether or not the weapon is "droppable". Did KCH ever drop their Stg44 when they died? Because other units that do sometimes drop their weapons on death keep them when they become weapon crews.

KCH on at gun was stil kch, a damn annoying at gun crew, was a way to make more of the limited elite suads, maybe got changed coz of that.
