Counter battery fire question

[DRG]

Fine......do that. YOU are the only one b*ching about it and we are happy with the way it works..... the entire game is an abstraction so this one fits right in......if your arty has a longer range than your opponent...your arty wins CB ** IF** the other side hits you....if they are both equal then it's who hits who first with the most who wins that part of the battle and if the random number generator smiles on you your results a better......another "abstraction"...maybe it might even fire CB just when you need it most ..another "abstraction"

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

I NEVER buy small caliber Off Map artillery, if you do that against my opponent the AI you'll get hammered and rightly so. Your artillery's CB effectiveness is based on patience and your units experience level.

Patience in not using your artillery if you're trying to knock out your enemy's artillery. It might take a few turns in your first battle or not even happen in the first couple of battles, I've routinely seen this.

You'll just have to decide how accurate the enemy's artillery is against your units, if ineffective or your losses tolerable, wait it out. If the enemy's on target you better move and start shooting at his units and get that experience level up.

Experience speaks for itself and we've "beat that horse to death" out here, though an occasional reminder isn't a bad thing!!

I needed a break from planning my last boat's 25th Commissioning Anniversary for mid July since March. Not dead yet, thanks for a topic I really enjoy!! Probably going "dark" again so everyone take care!
