DerKommissar Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am playing as the SAA and I bought a T-62 company and parts of a mechanized infantry battalion. This includes A Company, B Company, FO section and the Heavy Mortar battery. The battery came in Ural trucks and I dropped them off, hoping to use them as a support against those pesky UNCONs. The 6 mortars were deployed in proximity to their trucks and their officers -- I think an officer had a radio and pretty sure the trucks had radios. The problem is that I could not open the artillery support tab (greyed out), let alone see the mortars in the tab. Sad that I couldn't use smoke for my mechanized assault or general purpose town levelers. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? I was recently playing Final Blitzkrieg, and I know that even un-deployed and out-of-contact mortars show up in the artillery support tab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Seems to be a bug with some on-map mortars. Suggest setting them to off-map for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwwww, that's a shame. Off-map ones were too pricey. Guess I'll have to push them up to the front and use them as direct fire! Hope a patch comes soon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This has already been reported and is on their 'initial patch' to-do list. Something may have reverted-back during the 'full build' compilation process before release. There seems to be an unwritten law that no matter how careful you are something is going to sneak into the game release. Blame Gremlins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowMotion Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 In Manual page 71 there is a picture showing icons for Arty and Air support. But shouldn't there be this 3rd icon also? Not sure if that third icon is for UAVs or something else also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 That 3rd UAV tab was a last minute addition shortly before release. Previously UAVs had been combined with airpower but they decided to have the tabs match CMBS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In BS it is, but in SF2 there are no UAVs, so no need for the icon. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambronne Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 just tested the new "fire" command of the editor and I found out that the on-map mortars of the AI group can execute indirect fire on the designated target. I assume the human mortars can do it too, it's just the user interface that's missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Clearly there is stuff going on here that I don't understand. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
