Schmoly War Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I do not get the "precision" option in the artillery menu like I do with the US artillery round. Any reasons for this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttorneyAtWar Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Does your spotter have a laser designator? Russian precision missions require the team that is calling it in to have one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoly War Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes. Even at the start of a mission the spotter cannot target with "precision". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 US precision round is GPS-guided, Russian is laser guided. I haven't played much with artillery much but I believe use of the Russian round depends of the spotters ability to paint the target with a laser spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoly War Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Well, I cannot get a target for it even 10 meters within any LOS from a spotter with a laser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na Vaske Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have used it successfully to kill American mortar vehicles in a battle I forget the name of but the U.S. force is making a bridgehead and the Russian side is in a defense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes, you need LOS and have a lazer designator to use precision rounds and they only come with the 152mm and 122mm artillery and 120mm mortars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na Vaske Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes, you need LOS and have a lazer designator to use precision rounds and they only come with the 152mm and 122mm artillery and 120mm mortars. Yes, I have used it unsuccessfully against M1A2s in that same battle as their laser warning sensor alerted them and they displaced to outside of my LOS before the impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Schmoly War, Since I only belatedly realized I'd misunderstood your question, I'm going to go with that. I just posted a link in the Smel'chak thread giving the rundown on the Krasnopol, how it works (not quite the way even I thought), scale of ammo issue and more.

A Canadian Cat Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ah, yeah that is a pain point. I have used it to take out a M1s before (out of the battle at least). But if they can slip away then you are out of luck for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoly War Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Alright, does one actually get the "precision" option though. I do not see one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 For Russian FOs they have to have a lazer designator, you have to have a 120mm mortar or 122mm or 152mm artillery (they are the only ones with precision rounds), you have to pick Point target and then Precision should show as an option in the list of Heavy, Medium, Light etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
