E5K Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Why do mortars and Arty. take longer to call in with CW than ww2 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalon Jones Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Electronic warfare is being employed by both sides. There is probably enough electromagnetic noise in the atmosphere to cook a steak. The EW settings are set by the mission parameters done by the mission designers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm not seeing a significant difference. On map US mortars integral to the TO&E take 3 minutes to call in. Off map mortars purchased separately take 4 or 5. So its all about battalion chain of command. Then again I play Warrior and avoid Elite and Iron simply to avoid the extended waits for artillery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all three used realistic wait times. Was this changed recently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only justification for referring to those levels as "difficulty", really, and only then if you consider that lightning quick arty response times help a human player more than an AI, which is questionable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I follow; are you saying that Elite/Iron don't use 'realistic' wait times? I thought once someone played on 'Warrior' the only difference was the amount of 'spotting' information provided. With 'Iron' requiring friendlies to also be 'spotted'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howler Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I have and do. That's why I asked if this was changed in CW. Thank you @Combatintman for confirming that these levels haven't changed in CW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5K Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 So I did a test- CW - QB - Warrior setting. With my best FO and with the BN. commander standing next to him the best I could get. On map 60 and 81 Mortars 8 Mins. Off map 60 and 81 mortars 19 Mins. Off map 155SP 25 Mins. Off map 8 inch 26 Mins. Then I tried it on Elite There was no change. These numbers are slower than most ww2 numbers. My question is why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
