Default Re: Thoughts on New Arty Routine 3.5

But don't you think the current situation is more realistic?

Unless you have a pre-targeted 'gold-spot' (where you will get your 1.0) wouldn't a few ranging shells be required?
The current system is far better than the old one. Yes you should have an option to put out out a spotting round but think read its not going to happen. For offboard could micro manage turning all but one gun off for onboard you cant. Also & dont know if correct here spotting round was just that more a smoke pillar than a round to cause damage. So realisticly if case suppose could turn off all guns. Problem again is onboard can AI do it & can replay show it as a diffrent type of fire.


Problem with spotting round also is I feel game commanders react far more quickly to a sniff of arty scattering / avoiding than realy occurs, again could be wrong. Therefore my proposal just assume it occurs & allow a full FFE rather than half a load.
The other option would be to say 0.0-2 is full fire then decreasing for 0.3-5 but not thought about properly.

The idea behind most of my posts is just to suggest alternatives for Andy & Don to think about & dismiss if like. Also keep updating the same stuff it must be hard not to fall in to always looking for solutions the same way. If I make one sensible contribution then its made up for the tat i have made them read
