MajorJerkov Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 A target registration point (TRP) is a special location on the battlefield which has been "pre-registered" for an artillery strike. Yea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 "The Rally Point" It is very important to the enemy. If you know where his TRP is, you need to occupy it to deny him any respawns. Put all the men you can on it. Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Balboa Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 "Target Reference Point" Wherever the TRP is it allows you to call in artillery there without direct LOS. TRP's are definitely useful for calling in artillery strikes quickly and without LOS but I believe they will also help your direct fire weapons acquire hits as well. This means they can also be used as ambush markers. Note: A special situation is the targeting of an enemy unit near a TRP (Target Reference Point). In CM:BN, these double-function not only for artillery support fire, but also as “ambush markers”. Soldiers targeting an enemy unit near a friendly TRP are much better at estimating the range correctly. This means that if you place a TRP along a suspected rout of advance and in sight of a direct fire weapon then that weapon's fire will be more accurate when engaging targets within 50m of the TRP. You can use these to give your Anti Armor ambush teams an extra edge ... With all this said, TRP's are very :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasMorbo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Read 'Manual' look up the Table of Contents under 'Target Reference Point (TRP)' (p.41) there you might find useful information regarding those ominous TRPs. :D Sorry, but this was just too funny. Don't want to be mean, stuff like that happens to me quite regularly. Cheers Olf P.S.: @ Rocky Balboa: Negative on the direct fire weapons, TRPs are pure arty thingys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 P.S.: @ Rocky Balboa: Negative on the direct fire weapons, TRPs are pure arty thingys. hmmm you might have jumped the gun on this one. Go check my post again where I quoted the Manual or are you saying this feature is not working as intended? Here's another quote from the CMBN manual Example - we hide a German Panzerschreck team to let the first few vehicles and US infantry pass by before un-hiding and launching a grenade at the side of an enemy tank. This ambush tactic is especially effective if used in conjunction with a friendly Target Reference Point (TRP), as this increases the firing unit’s accuracy for the first shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Rocky is correct -- TRPs do provide an accuracy bonus to direct fire weapons. You can see this effect pretty easily with long-range MG fire, and use it to deadly effect -- when the enemy hits the TRP, pin 'em down with MG fire, and then finish 'em off with a quick mortar strike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the passage from the manual now you quote it. Oddly enough, this passage isn't in the part of the manual which explains TRPs but in some other context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
