spec124 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have two HQ's on the second floor of a building, they each, from time to time, can see enemy machine gunners. But no matter who is seeing it, the mortar team, well within earshot/eyeshot says no direct line of fire, even though the HQ's can see the enemy and can talk to the mortar team. Am I missing something here? No matter where I put these teams my mortars will not fire (yes, they are deployed). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If the mortars cannot see the enemy there is no "direct fire" possible. You need to use the indirect fire menu of the HQ that is spotting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec124 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I thought I was. You mean the little artillery button above the HQ's equipment list? If it is, I use that and still only get no direct line of fire under the mouse cursor. Am I using the wrong command? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec124 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ok - I'm feeling pretty dumb. Mortar team was next to the building and could not shoot - through the building of course. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 You click on the arty button and get a window with a list of arty available. Text will tell you if the arty is unavailable for any reason. Assuming it is available, you select it and go thru the series of parameter settings during which you should be asked whether you want to fire Point, Area or Linear. That's where you should be able to click on the map and and a line appears from the spotter to the target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec124 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeah, I'm there. So far they still do nothing. I as able to to click on the target, everything was confirmed. They still aren't firing. The spotter keeps looking through his binoculars though Their icon, under the artillery window says receiving. How long should it take for them to receive before firing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec124 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 They're firing. Yahoo! Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeah the message will go from noting first: The time b4 starting to spot, then "Receiving" then "Spotting" then time left in the barrage - eg: Firing < 1 minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
