You do realize that without a replay no one can do anything?

M3 have a number of slot where entities can fire from. Its similar to the number of windows in house. Thus some of the entities will not fire.

This is not a bug.

shouldnt the flamethrower/ptrs be a priority?

the definition of a bug "an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result"

since the flamer/ptrs firing from an m3 or a house is intended by the developers (else it would be removed) wouldnt that mean that it not firing is unintentional?

the flamethrower/ptrs not firing from the m3 is really fatal flaw/failure that can result into a loss... should prolly be fixed

That probably happened because you had 2 squads in the HT. Load 1 and it will probably be fine.

I guess it also a way to reduce the "drive by" shooting effect since having 4 or 6 lmgs(UKF),2 flamers,... out of HT can be allot more trouble than the current "bug".

He specifically mentions soviet M3.
2 squads can not go into it.

I have never seen a flamer not firing from an M3 if in range, I have seen one not firing from an M5 when 2 squad are loaded.

As for PTRS I am not 100% certain but at least one of them seems to always fire from an M3.

Priority can also be tricky especially if the squad has lots of weapon like Lmg and AT weapons.

I am not sure if OP is not confused or actually got a bug. Finally I am simply explaining the mechanisms of the game.

well i could show u the next time it pops up... i disabled replays to save computer space... ill reenable it next time... anyways what happens is the squad in the m3 decides to not fire its flamethrower for some time until i evict it and mount it again...

it also seems to happen at random and without warning...

If there are more models in the car than can be displayed the game will switch them out on the fly to give what it thinks is most important.

And that's why I've said no one can help him without a replay as what he describes is not really possible, special weapons always have priority in open topped transports.
