CMBB arty spotting from vehicles?

[Flipper]

been away for awhile is this going to be implemented in cmbb?

[Thin Red Line]

In CMBO arty spotters can fire even when embarked, can't they ?

AFAIK they can't order the barrage from inside a vehicule , but the mission continues even if they embark thereafter.

And AFAIK, the spread becomes dispersed once they embark. You can hide you FOs on the turns following the call-in, but the spread becomes worse since the game assumes you no longer have LOS if you're hiding. I think the same is true if you embark in a vehicle.

What about on the back of a tank?

Ok, but the accuracy should be the only thing to suffer , the observer has moved , but not the guns....

What I have observed in terms of FO's embarking on vehicles:

1.)FO's can call in a fire order before embarking, but cannot while embarked;

2.)While on the vehicle, the FO cannot adjust the fire.

Given #2, any fire that comes down while the FO is riding on the back of or inside any vehicle will be treated as unobserved fire and will therefore be scattered. Also, I believe that once an FO mounts a vehicle, a time penalty is incurred that will be commensurate with the normal delay for other unobserved fires. This last bit is just my hunch, I haven't really paid enough attention to confirm it. Finally, once the the FO dismounts and is able to observe the target, fire correction will kick in and the shot pattern will tighten.

so I take it calling in rounds whilst mounted will not be implemented in the next game...yes no?
