Fire Panzer at half-bar!? [RTCW]

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.wolfenstein (More info?)

I was inspectator mode one day, when I saw someone fire a panzer and
his bar was only half full!!! Is that possible???? I've seen it done
more than once. How can I do this.

Danke!

I never played much with heavy weapons, but
I think this could be the effect of an increase
in "heavy weapons" skill.
I think to my usual role, the field op: as soon
as I reach "signals" level 2, I can call artillery
and airstrike with about 60% of the bar. I seldom
play more than three maps in a straigth so I didn't
last much with "signals" level 4, but I think it
could give even faster reload or, better, a lower
ost for calling in artillery/airstrike.

I don't use the panzer often as I usually play as an engineer. Once
your engineering skills go above a certain level you can plant
dynamite without the power bar being full and so I would imagine it is
the same with a panzer as a soldier. Once your heavy weapons skills
have got to a certain level you can probably fire your panzer at say
50% power up.

I'm refering to RTCW, not ET! Does anyone know how to fire a panzer at
half full bar??

ThanX

Once you get heavy weapons lvl 1 you can fire the panzer at half bar.
Lvl 4 is most fun - an SMG and a panzer

In ET you can fire faster or with a lower bar then in RtCW.
Also when in spectator mode the data in the bars are not always the real
data.
I spec too from time to time to see how other players do the things they do
and when I see an Field Ops call a air strike the bar doesn't move at al or
is empty all the time.

From what i know the player's state (ammo, health, power bar etc.) is
administered by the game server and can not be influenced in a cheating
way by the player. At least the cheats i know about work on the client
side only, for example by using a modified opengl engine to see through
walls, mark other player's positions and so on. And i think _most_ of
these cheats are detected by punkbuster by now.

Its configurable in the server settings. Some servers have it set to
halfbar while most leave it at the default of fullbar...

No cheating involved!

Damn, the reading comprehension is way down in this newsgroup. RTCW right
there in the subject. Anyway, many times when you are specing someone their
charge, sprint, or health may not be accurate. It's just a glitch while
spectating. They are not really firing with half a bar.
