It takes 5 sec for mortar and MG to retreat!

infantry also takes 3 sec to retreat while in combat!

He is right about the support crews they just sit there waiting to pack up for 2-3 seconds before they actually start. Its not lag because they will idle for a bit after the retreat symbol pops up. Mortars are the worst offenders.

The problem is with the Maxin and the mortars (both).

Maxim: you hit retreat, the gunner starts to pack up and gets killed, then the next guy goes to the maxim and he gets killed and then the next guy... and so on till the last guy is dead.
The same happens with the mortars.
The only thing they fixed (a long time ago) is the retreat of the MG42. When the guy who is packing gets killed, the animation continues anyway with another guy who is 5 meters away.

The should do this on maxims and morters too or change the MG42 back.

If this is the OP's complaint I agree. If they are complaining that they got flanked well and whiped, no sympathy from me.

I find this very annoying, and am not sure. Almost as annoying as the bug where retreating units sometimes stop in combat and wait for 3-4 seconds.

@Sandreas, that is another annoying "feature". I believe that is to make the game more realistic, but I strongly agree that this should not be for weapon teams. Give them a pack up timer that once complete the remaining crew automatically begin to run back to back, and they get the gun even if none of them was physically touching it at that second.

Ive been having issues with this as well. I would suppress a crawling con. Anticipating the Molotov, I hit retreat, and before the cocktail lands, the retreat signal is overhead. But the mg just sits there and burns. Happened about 4 times in one game, where a full 4 man squad was lost because they wouldn't actually retreat.

What a shame! Have you packed heavy MG while burning in flames? It is not easy, comrade! ;)
