Off board counter battery fire

[PanzerBob]

Good day, Birdsong73

First of all. Welcome aboard.

Secondly, I know your pain. It does seem that the game does portray this function of warfare accurately. The Germans were not as good at this as the Allies were. I fight my battles mostly as Germans and have for years.

I do have some suggestions, however they will work best in campaign.

1. You MUST dedicate one or more large caliber Bttys to this task, (in game terms do not assign them any targets). This will give you the best chance in a set piece senario as well.

2. Ensure you have FO's or Beobachtungspanzerwagens, keep them protected and in use in your campaign and they will gain expireance and as they do you will find your deicated counter-battery Btty(s) will respond more often. The actual discion to fire a CB mission is made by your FO units.

3. Another solution, which would work in senarios as well as campaigns, is to purchase your artillery to be all "on board" this will involve more work on your part ensuring they move every couple fire mission to avoid CB, however, you would only be able to CB enenmy "on Board" positons, but you would have control of these missions. On Board cannot target off board.

I hope this helps.
