user1000 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I have to say the counter mortar fire, firing at an opposing force mortar unit is too much like the modern combat games. I just don't think that happened here this early in the time frame.... There are sophisticated computers today that are used to triangulate and track the round and where the fire is coming from today, especially if it is unseen and far away. Back then this was just non existent guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 ?? There is no counter battery fire in CM games. None. If there are two opposing mortar teams on map they might end up firing at each other but this is *not* counter battery fire and does *not* use tracking of rounds or anything like that. There have been several debates about the accuracy of direct mortar fire. My recollection is that if the mortar team can see a target themselves they can drop rounds pretty much right on top in fairly short order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Is this from some pbem? The AI doesn't counter fire at all so unless you are playing a human opponent, not sure what this is in reference to and as Ian noted if you are playing a human opponent it isn't really counter fire anyway. More than likely it is direct fire as your location is exposed and again as Ian noted direct fire from a mortar can be very accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I still don't know what you are referring to. Is this a pbem experience or against the AI? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible you're putting your mortar teams in very opportune "NO MORTARS HERE, I SWEAR!" positions? Sometimes too good heavy weapons positions are too good to be true. The scenario designer making them as potential pit falls for the LOS connoisseur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
