walpurgis nacht Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I don't know if it's addressed in the manual, but I left mine at home. What do the "tubes" distinguish? For example, the Soviets have several 82mm arty versions, two of which are only seperated by the fact that one has "6 tubes" and one has "4 tubes".

SaTyR Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 The more tubes a spotter unit has, the larger salvoes it will fire. With four tubes it fires 4 shells per salvo, with 6 tubes 6 shells etc. With nine tubes a spotter fires a great field of fire, but expends ammunition very fast. Sometimes it's better to have many tubes (like when intercepting an assault, you need that artillery literally RAINING on the foe), sometimes you only need to fire a couple of shells (like when pinning down enemy formations, hampering their movement, harassing the advance elements etc.) Different amount of tubes give possibilities for different kinds of strategy when using artillery. Sometimes I wish I'd have more tubes in the larger artillery units 120mm MTR unit with 9 tubes would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
