This command seems to have evolved. Returns "true" (on Hunter, Ifrit) even if Gun's damage is set to 1 and turret also, as far there is a gunner. The only way to obtain a canFire  "false"  is to make the crew disembark (2 burned tires for example). Then no matter the gun state, if the gunner disembarks without order, the vehicle can't fire. In this case: can't move >> can't fire.

This command seems to have evolved. Returns "true" (on Hunter, Ifrit) even if Gun's damage is set to 1 and turret also, as far there is a gunner. The only way to obtain a canFire "false" is to make the crew disembark (2 burned tires for example). Then no matter the gun state, if the gunner disembarks without order, the vehicle can't fire. In this case: can't move >> can't fire. NB: if you jump into a hunter HMG after having setHitPointDamage(d) "hitTurret" and "hitGun" to 1, the turret can't rotate any more, the gun is pitched down but you can fire (trigger) to the ground. Difficult to check the behavior for each vehicles.
