Static Weapons and Outposts
We're having the issue that static weapons in outposts aren't manned or recognized correctly.
We took over the Outpost south of Kavala. The Commander assigned a garrison of several troops and I travelled there to buy some static AA's.
There were 3 HMGs there by default that were all manned by FIA troops (although the "Static Weapon" information in the Recruit Garrison window said only 1).

I bought a static AA gun and placed it on top of the watchtower (where 2 of the HMGs stood).
None of the FIA soldiers manned the AA gun and the static weapon count for the commander now said 0.

Are we doing something wrong? Does the commander has to assign a static weapon somehow specifically?

Thx in advance

Make sure you have recruited militiamen, as they are the ones who will mount statics.

Also, if the zone is within spawn distance, the script is not very reliable and they may not mount until the zone despawns and spawns. This is solved in 1.0

Thx! It's working now. Did not have enough Militiamen and it sometimes requires some time/going away and returning to work.

However all static weapons are gone after loading the game again. Is there a way to avoid this as it makes reinforcing kinda pointless?

Never mind! Figured out they must have gotten destroyed during an attack.

Did I miss the warning when I placed static guns, that they can only mounted by militiamen? Is it mentioned elsewhere?
