markshot Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I've seen it said somewhere that AREA FIRE will be suspended if it would endanger your own troops. I cannot recall where I have seen that. Does that apply just to direct fire units like tanks, etc...? Does it also apply to FOs and off map artillery? From what I have seen, I believe it is up to the player not to drop arty on his own forces during their advance, correct? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I think it mostly applies to DF guns, especially HE. It definetely does not apply to arty, so pay attention to where those FOs are aiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS was 71331 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I lost BOTH my artillery FO teams in one engagement to 'friendly' rocket fire. What annoyed me most was that the barrage was only half over when a short rocket took out the rocket FO team and the rockets immediately stopped coming in. I don't understand the rationale for the elimination of the FO team stopping the barrage. Rounds already fired but still in the air won't explode in flight just because the FO can no longer call in corrections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
