German tanker and his pistol

Why doesn’t the German tanker hold his pistol on menu?


In contrast, this problem does not exist for Americans:

Due to (lack of) animation models. One of the Beretta pistols does have a menu animation.
It is not related to tankers only.

I think the Enfield or Webley revolver also shows up in tankers/pilots hands, though I can’t be sure. They probably added the animations with the release of Tunisia, but then never added it retroactively to anything else.

oh, i need an animation for mauser.

actually :point_up: :nerd_face:

such animations do exists for the menu.

and do appear occasionally.

( it’s how i make some of my contest screenshots )

as to why, it’s because some weapons were not coded to have said animations in the menu.

others overwrites a specific set of weapons. ( which yes… all weapons are manually given animations and what not.

From the pistols for Germany, animations have: PP and PPK, Beretta 1934 (i.e. starter pistols) and event/BP pistols (Arty Luger (helps the fact that it was originally main slot), Schnellfeuer).

I wish they would have taken the c96 in their hand too, that weapon is very symbolic.
