Default Re: Aircraft and Artillery Intensity

2.4 indicate how long before the barrage begin. 0.0-0.5 mean the first shell will land after the enemy had a turn. 1.0 - 1.5 mean you have to wait an additional turn, meaning after the enemy had two turns.

The tailing decimal indicate how much of the barrage will land during the arty phase. Most tube fire ~6 round in a barrage, so a number of 0.5 mean the tube will get off 3 shell in the next arty phase and you have to wait for the next arty phase for the last 3 shell. Naturally you want this number as low as possible as it give the enemy less time to react.

If the calling spotter have sight to the area, the barrage will land closer to where you want it. Normally I have my best artillery commander, usually the A0 unit, call the artillery blind on a group of enemy and have the "on-site" spotter adjust it.
