griffin33 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Until I upgraded to version 2.0 I was able to set a covered arc for a mortar and then establish a Target or Light Target for this mortar. This allowed the mortar to set up behind bocage, for example, and fire only mortar rounds at a distant target, but seemed to keep the mortar from being spotted. Thought this was really great, but now seems to have disappeared from version 2.0. Anyone else have any ideas on this? It sure beat having to use a spotter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think your memory is playing tricks on you. Target arc and target commands have always been mutually exclusive. I just tried doing this in the game and target always cancels a target arc (I have not upgraded to 2.0 yet so my game is still v1.10). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Vanir AB is correct, that has always been the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin33 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 What you say sounds exactly right to me, but I used to be able to do both. Maybe a glitch when I loaded it? Anyway, thanks for telling me I'm back to normal - seriously - thank you for taking the time to respond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thanks for telling me I'm back to normal - seriously - thank you for taking the time to respond. If you really could do both on the same waypoint, then it was rather more than a glitch; it was magic. Are you sure you're not remembering a technique where the (short) CA gets applied at the waypoint where the mortar team start crawling (up to the bocage), with the Target (light) coming into effect on the terminal waypoint where they want to fire their HE from? I particularly think this is likely with your bocage example because the mortar team would not be able to have a Target command set for something beyond the bocage before they were actually in situ. It's worth noting that if the mortar was firing at a "distant target", the small arms wouldn't have been firing anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
