Default Re: A couple of noob questions:

I'm no expert but a few pointers:

1. Even stopped, unbuttoned tanks don't spot well. There is a reason the russians had tank riders! Spotting is also a function of experience, so your troops will get better at it.

2. The AI, just like you, can and will plot artillery strikes on "likely lines of advance". Try to avoid the obvious route or use armoured transports (this is after all why the APC was invented).

3. I would be surprised if it took as long as 10 turns before static artillery is receiving "presents"! The secret is simple and historical - "Shoot and Scoot". The AI will look for smoke from your artillery fire and pound it - fire a couple of missions then move your guns.

4. Seems the map may be too big... Try playing on a smaller map or using support points for advance/assault missions for transport for the PBI.

Hope that makes some sense
