Scout cars and arty spotting


Recommended Posts

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? smile.gif

Err, scouting? 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:

Hope that helps to understand how the Recce element might be more useful than just drawing fire.

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???
