WEWR Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 New to the game and I'm sure that this has been covered at some point, but I can't find the answer to this problem. I have a mortar HQ in contact with it's two mortar teams. When selecting the artillary command the HQ has no LOS on the target area. However, if I use 'Target' the HQ has a bright blue LOS to the target area. It's not a command issue since the HQ does have LOS for other areas with the selected mortar team. Am I missing something?Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Could it be that the mortars themselves are too close to a building or something else that might prevent them from firing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHarry Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Forward observers need to communicate a point from a 8x8m map reference grid to the artillery unit. So no matter what LOS with the targeting tool can be traced from a spotter to a particular map spot (at 1x1m resolution), the artillery referes to the next possible 8x8m map grid point. Just select the next best strike location that sticks for the artillery unit in artillery menu and then check again with targeting tool whether the spotter still has good LOS to the general strike area. When in doubt, make a short test strike (or just watch spotting rounds, then cancel) and if necessary, relocate the spotter to a position with better LOS to the target area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) On the same topic, but a little different: Can an on-board mortar target a TRP, which is has no LOS too?I thought it could, but in a current game, the guys refuse to follow my orders.

I'll see if I can get that working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Mmmm... I've lost track of TRP targeting and mortars, I've got to go do some testing to refresh my memory. Good thing testing is FUN! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
