Whirlwind bug

[Saabre]

I've just started Mission 4 which starts you with 3 Whirlwinds and 2 squads of Assault Troops. I'm pretty sure you are supposed to use the Whirlwinds to bombard the Ork structures before sending in your Assault Marines. However for some reason my Whirlwinds won't fire. The yellow meter that shows that the heavy weapons are ready to fire stops at less than a 1/2 of the way finished and then starts again and repeats this indefinitely. They won't actually fire. has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks, that helped.

I rightclicked on the icon to change their stance, and they immediately started firing when I did so, without needing to be told to fire [previously was trying attack ground but it was so inaccurate due to the blind firing].

I do like this feature in this game... cycling through specific styles of stances like that.... a feature RTS games should keep.

they start on cease fire stance, meant to be so that they dont destroy the jetpack troopers when they jump down as the accuracy is so bad on the whirlwind, just set it to another stance then sit back and watch the carnage

I just played this mission tonight. My tanks were going through the firing animation, but no missiles were fired. I ended up jumping my marines down below. I would take out a building, retreat to the right and reinforce then take out the next building. A little tedious but it worked.

Just change their status mod from quiet to offensive and they ll destroy everything

They're on cease fire? Never would have thought to check stance. Thanks!
