Col Deadmarsh Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Ever since the days of CMBO, it's been a problem finding out where your off-board arty can fire directly to using the HQ as its eyes. As it is right now, no matter whether or not you're using your HQ to line up the spot or having your arty team guess where it's going, the line always says "Area Fire." Can we have the fire line turn a different color when your off-board arty team is using the HQ as its eyes so we know if we lined it up right or not? That way I can move my line of fire around and seeing it go from a brown "area fire" to a different colored "direct fire." I think this would make things a lot easier and eliminate the guesswork. Secondly, I'd like to see some text or a different colored line indicating whether or not the fire mission is regular or "target wide."

WWB Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Last time I checked offboard arty does not spot thru HQs. On map mortars can. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 :confused: Since when can HQs spot for FO teams?? I always thougt HQs can only spot for onboard mortars. I just set up a small test. A HQ should spot for a german 105mm FO. When the FO targets a building to which the HQ has LOS but the FO (in contact to HQ) has not, the fire command is the usual "out of LOS" fire. So, no HQ spotting for offboard arty, no need to change anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 HQ's have NEVER had the ability to spot for off-board artillery. FO's are the only units who can, in CMBO and CMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
