A co Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 In the demo battle December Morning it seems the US 81mm off map mortars are firing only airbursting HE rounds, and there is no option for contact fuse (if that's the right term). Can anyone from BFC give us a bit of a preview about US arty changes, options, etc? It would be a shame if the most common US arty types could no longer be used effectively against buildings, buttoned vehicles, wooden bunkers, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony P. Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 According to the manual, there is no such thing as Pozit fuses for 81mm shells? The following artillery calibers can be purchased with VT fuzes beginning in December 1944: 105 mm, 155 mm, and 8 inch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A co Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Maybe they were hitting something I couldn't see, though I think the trees were turned on before. Now one of the batteries at least is giving proper contact bursts...hmm. Well, as Miss Emily Litella used to say, "Never Mind." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtHatred Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I noticed with the M1A1 VT LongTom, on the first turn you can select "general" as the mission type, but the shells still air-burst. Later in the game, the mission type can't be selected. It appears that with VT rounds, you can't have rounds detonate on impact. Is that expected behaviour?

Joe That is just one more reason why I always play with the tress ON. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 In v1.01, VT fuze artillery will be able to properly perform General missions with impact setting. (I couldn't duplicate getting 81mm to act like VT rounds, so I think they may have been hitting an obstruction in your scenario) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
