Phoenix Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 Can't find this in a search so... I was looking at the vehicle list and noticed armored and scout cars are in there. Are any of these capable of spotting for artillery? If not, what other purpose do they server other than drawing fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The job of outfits with these cars was to be the eyes of a division. They would happily drive around the countryside having a jolly good time, and looking for the enemy that their more heavily armed comrades would then smite. A good site for the history of a UK infantry division's recon regiment (actually Batallion size) is here: http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/9656/ronindex.htm Hope that helps to understand how the Recce element might be more useful than just drawing fire. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 tsk tsk tsk...See miss a day you miss alot. The vehicle list was released on the same day as the new Gold Demo but that annoucement was overshadowed (well YEAH). You can a find a copy over at the CMHQ-Annex (link Below) and its also available somewhere on BTS's CM page...Resources area maybe???

Phoenix Posted May 17, 2000 Author Share Posted May 17, 2000 So no one has answered my question yet. Can scout cars ever act as arty spotters?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 No. It's something we're mulling over for the future though. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
