Re: Artillery plotting.
If I could add these comments also
The artillery "cheat" mentioned in my previous post in combination with fighter-bombers (IMHO unrealistic) ability to act as spotting planes represents a double whammy. A player can run a fighter-bomber past, locate the nearby flak take it out pretty quickly using the artillery "cheat", repeat as required, and then his air armarda can procede to dominate the game.
This gives a pretty good advantage to countries that have a lot of air, late war America for example. It also removes the focus somewhat from developing good ground combined arms operations.
Also a new PBEM player loses a lot of games before they realise that artillery can hit unseen targets so easily.
Best Regards Chuck.
