Press G and the IFV will automatically repair nearby vehicles. Why did it take me 20 years to learn this?

The Guardian GI IFV is better against vehicles, but worse against infantry than the default IFV configuration. That includes Rocketeers.

So, I've discovered why Flak Troopers can't fire anti-air while in an IFV. I've been modifying the rulesmd.ini file to make some fun new gameplay elements, one of those being able to garrison Guardian GIs, Tesla Troopers, and Flak Troopers. Unlike the Guardian GI, whose secondary weapon is "MissileLauncher" (which can hit both ground and air targets), Flak Troopers have a separate weapon entirely for both their air and ground attacks. You can only have one weapon type when garrisoned in something, which means they defaulted with the ground flak gun

11:00 That's because the troops inside the Battle Fort are the ones doing the actual firing. The IFV however changes its weapon based on the infantry inside it. Promotion of the passenger does not change its weapon. Weapons only change via promotion. Or some other things that might be too hard to explain...

@CnCDune

@@DaxMarko It has nothing to do with scritping. There's simply Gunner=yes for the IFV (which allows a vehicle to change weapons) and OpenTopped=yes (which allows occupants of a vehicle (maybe also buildings, I never tested) to fire their weapons). The weapons of a Gunner=yes vehicle have all to be pre-stated, and a special index for each infantry tells the game which weapon, among the ones the Gunner vehicle has defined, is to be picked for which infantry. A promotion does not change the Gunner-weapon number of an InfantryType unless said promotion actively changes the InfantryType itself. Do note tho that the "change unit type on promotion" is recent Ares-only logic. OpenTopped works differently. There is an index for each infantry relevant to the OpenTopped-logic, and it decides which weapon an infantry should use while inside a transport they can shoot out of. The choice is always between Primary and Secondary. And the Primary and Secondary DO change after promotion, if ElitePrimary and EliteSecondary are defined. It's possible to code the weapons and unit so it fires two weapons: one only when outside of transports, the other only while inside one (stuff like "can only fire in transports" works by creating a harmless dummy weapon for a Primary). However, the OpenTopped vehicle does not lose its original weapon. This has nothing to do with scripting. These are two different logics with a few similarities.

How come? What you just explained sounds like inner code of these units. But then, you seem to know better, so I'm probably just talking out of my ass. So, IFVs were designed to have own gun according to passenger, but doesn't take in passenger's ranking. I think they could have included few same copies of a gun with different stats, to change according to rank of passenger, so that it matches it. I wouldn't say its a "bug", but a missing feature, either not added for some reason or on purpose of making IFV a lesser vehicle. And what you say, OpenTopped is possibly used for buildings and bunkers. I'd assume Battle Fortress uses similar, just altered, since guardian GIs can enter it.

@CnCDune

@@DaxMarko "you seem to know better, so I'm probably just talking out of my ass." The only reason I know better is because I once went through the codes and read up on them on www.modenc.renegadeprojects.com If you or the average player did so as well, then you'd know better too ;) "IFVs were designed to have own gun according to passenger, but doesn't take in passenger's ranking." Because WW never made logic account for the InfantryType's promotion, simple as that. I do agree tho they should've done that. "OpenTopped is possibly used for buildings and bunkers." OpenTopped is, AFAIK, only used for vehicles with an "open top" (hence the name). According to its ModEnc page (www.modenc.renegadeprojects.com/OpenTopped), OpenTopped is only valid for Vehicles and Aircraft. I haven't tested this myself, tho. For all I know it works for BuildingTypes as well. Do note that the Garrison and OpenTopped logic are two different things. Long story short: Every infantry has its own weapon to fire out of buildings with in YR. Those buildings would need to be garrisonable and allow infantry to fire out of them (no idea why they did that last one. You could say "so infantry inside BioReactors don't fire", but that is part of another logic. Again). In RA2, however, each garrisonable building had two weapons, where one is used for the garrisoned GI and the other for the garrisoned Conscript.

I've been waiting SO long for this video! I learned more than I thought I would, and learned some bullshit things about the relationship between the IFV and the Infantry that garrison it. Under most circumstances, this universally useful unit is a perfect example of how an Allied player needs to play. Some infantry are much better alone compared to their IFV variant, and there are some occasions where the IFV is an Allied version of another vehicle, like the Tesla Tank. The Allied player needs to find an excellent combo the player likes and use the IFV's ridiculous speed and micromanagement to outplay their opponent to have an upper hand.

so with the snipers do they have a "magazine" when not in an IFV? I ask because for the non-veteran ones they seemed to have to "insert fresh magazine" or something after 5 shots and inside the IFV that didn't seem to happen and so their fire rate stayed consistent. if that is the case I'm sure the veterans still have that 5 shot capacity, we just didn't get to see it in the demonstration because their DPS was much higher and could kill all the targets before they needed to have a long reload cycle

You are right about both. It doesn't matter what you load in an IFV. All that it matters is the promotion of IFV itself. But the Battle fortress works differently. When a battle fortress is in elite status it only increases it's machine gun and not the units inside. The units inside Battle Fortress should have taken the promotions instead because they make the kills but it's supposed to be a bug.
