Possible improvement for withdrawing heavy weps

[Juardis]

I have encountered several situations where I want to give the withdrawal order to an HMG team or a mortar team. The current order supposedly has them run away immediately. Unfortunately, the heavy weps teams also take their weapons and, since there is no such thing as a running HMG team, they s-l-o-w-l-y p-l-o-d away from the battle, usually dying lots (tm) in the process.

So, if the heavy weapons guys are not going to be allowed to run away, then I suggest that they be allowed to intentionally abandon their weapons and run away. Maybe in CMBB?

We have asked for an "Abandon" Command for some time now.

It would be handy to bail those crews out of imbollized vehicles, AND yes I too would like to order my weapons and mortar crews to "Abandon" AND withdraw to save thier hides! Maybe in CMBB?

Hey, why can't HMG teams run? I mean, even just a little way.

They can and do, but just for a split second. You just don't notice it.

Generally, havermeyers HMG teams don't live long enough to walk away let alone run.
