Yeah, time fuzes had been used to generate airbursts since WWI.
Timed fuses were around quite a bit before WW1.
Mechanical timed fuses have been around at least since the ACW.

Speedy has won our battle with a tactical victory. I consider it a total victory for myself considering how much the game was stacked in his favor.
Stacked in my favour!!!!!
It was Buying the Farm and I was the Germans you had like millions more infantry and Tanks!!!
All I had was a bunch of useless green peasants and one awesome panzershreck team.

Yep downloading here too, 1 hour to go....

You're in a desert without alcohol so you can strike the cool bit.

As did the guy who was bunny hopping his troops.
Yeah I downloaded the Bunny Hopping mod and it is awesome absolutely slaughters the opposition just so long as they aren't using the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch mod.

Ohh goody picture posting opportunity.

Doesn't much matter if you have plenty of artillery to use harassing fire as your registration process and plenty of aircraft to report fall of shot. The position of the defender isn't what is important, it is the attack plan and how the supporting fires are integrated. So for example I know I am going in a particular direction and any attempt by the defender to maneuver reserves is going to take X route. It is perfectly logical to pre register to interdict that route and isolate the battlefield. The point of the TRP isn't that it targets your existing locations, it targets your LIKELY locations or supports an attack plan.
The problem here though is that in real life the defender knows where the attacker has dropped artillery and therefore likely preregistered the location and can take countermeasures for that.
Whereas in the game the defender has absolutely no knowledge of where the attacker has pre-registered artillery.
Anyway my understanding was that the pre-registered artillery bombardments of attackers where modelled through the setup phase registering of timed artillery strikes.

I have recently been playing around with the QB generator and noticed that in any engagement type both attacker and defender are able to purchase TRP's and deploy them anywhere on the map.
This to me seems illogical and open to exploitation, especially as they are very cheap and it is easy for either side to cover the main areas of a map with them allowing quick response, no warning (no spotting rounds) accurate artillery fire without a spotter needing LOS.
Surely only the defender in attack and assault battles should have access to TRP's.

What is this a 24 hour Stuka and Boo show marathon?
-
Okay, I stand corrected, Stuka finds reference librarians hot.
Congratulate yourself, Flemmywaffle.
Oh no you don't need to be corrected as I believe a Stuka is not actually of the opposite sex of a flammenwerfer.

You two behave, i don't want to see any of that kinky body drawing stuff in here.

It was hiding! How sneeksy do you want it to be?
I want it to be hiding and not be seen!
-
Ahhh but only one of them was sneeksy!!
You said yourself you saw the 75mm one and blew it up, if you saw it it wasn't sneeksy.
-
2 sneeksy, hidden A/T gun thingos plus hidden,
Lies!!
It was only 1 sneeksy, hidden AT gun thingo as you, yourself, and you made mention of in an earlier post.

But we still haven't got Space Lobsters after years of promises.
-
Awesome news!!
Saw the doc today and he said I could have more time off work.
I don't have to go back now till the 31st.
I should get pox'd more often.
-
But the good news is the Steam deluxe edition beta hasn't been put back and the Australian classification board gave the uncut game a clean bill of health.
-
You can definitely be too old to enjoy it.
This.
On a bright note I could get some cool pox scars out of it.
-
Days off work are awesome.
Chicken Pox sux.
-
No, I want to see the forum crash.
I ticked that box on the census too.
Woohoo end times here we come.
-
I can't help it if my krauts went to see Braveheart the night before the battle instead of attending the 'How to fire a Panzerfaust' course.
It's all the blue paint that's got me worried.

I'm to damn lazy to answer.
