SpitfireXI Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I understand most of the differences between similar units but what does the 'VT' stand for in artillery spotters? It can't be veteran because it shows up regardless of unit experience, does it have something to do with radios? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pies Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Variable Timing The shells have a radio transmiter which can be set for a certain burst height above the ground. Very effective against entrenchments without overhead cover and gives a better spread of shrapnel against exposed targets. Only available in the late war years. A grog will be along shortly to tell you when probably 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarker Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 It's the fuse the artillery round uses - airburst shells (Variable Time). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 For an entrenched infantryman, they are the defenders worst nightmare. A couple of rounds can destroy a trench full of men and guns, and you can't even shoot back. Snarker taught me that particular lesson. :mad: :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
