Sometimes, it appears to happen when mixing HE artillery with AP (cluster type) artillery. Have you noticed this?

I experienced the phenomenon of artillery fire mission making the sounds of fireing but no shells landing...

I don't remember any other circumstances, but it was NOT out of ammo for sure...

Well at least I am not the only one. I know the cluster bombs don't show in the replays, but I should be able to see all arty land at turn end.

Attach the save you have and I'll look at it.

Give me some of your system info ( and anyone else who has had this happen )

Yes, I've had this happen. It seems only to happen in the first turn after reloading a saved game and only to the AI's artillery (so I don't mind all that much). But it doesn't happen every time, It is intermitent. Also my system is old and slow.

My opponent confessed that it is some arty trick he is using where the arty is "on call" but never shoots until he calls for it. Thus the game "thinks" the rounds have been shot but they haven't. I asked if he meant that he is plotting and then moving the target marker so the delay is always 1.1 but he said no. Don't know what he means and he hasn't replied to my queries any further yet.

Could be he has his arty zeroed in but turned his tubes off. Could that show the pieces firing but no rounds actually landing?
