Default Re: M777A1 vs M777A2 Excalibur

You can continue to experiment with adjusted setting....who knows you might find a combination that does, more or less, what you are looking for, BUT....

Indirect arty scatter is hard coded. You are never going to get an entire barrage landing in the same hex which I *assume* you are trying to simulate with these munitions

This was a game design decision made years ago. Remember each hex is 50 meters. Even in WW2 a 25 pounder battery could EASILY put every round in a 50 meter area with direct observation but we scatter the fire to spread it around far less accurately than would be the case in real life to spread the affect of arty over a wider area so instead of all arty landing in one hex it's spread out over 3 or 4 which we judge works best in the game
