rmorton Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Folks, I play CM on a Mac G4 (MacOS9.1)...when I do an arty adjust for an arty spotter from a spot on the map that the spotter does NOT have LOS to another non-LOS point I don't see a green or a blue line. Is this correct behaviour or is it a bug? What am I missing...I read and reread the "Arty and Mortars" section of the manual. Regards, Rob P.S. I did search for this but couldn't find what I was looking for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 What color line do you get? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsmith Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Fear Not This is Normal Behavior Mac or PC wise What you are probably getting when you release from targeting out of LOS is an Orange Targeting Line which is area fire It takes a bit longer than a target in LOS But those rounds of joy (yours not your opponents) will soon fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasToast Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Hi Rob, Just to reinforce: Blue line = In LOS, but must target from scratch. Green line = In LOS, adjustment (shorter delay time) Yellow line = Out of LOS. Time will still be shorter if you adjust near the previous target, but out of LOS countdown penalty will still apply. Hope this helps, TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.Tankersley Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 The maximum range you can change an artillery target and still have it be "adjusting" rather than a new fire mission is right around 80 meters. This is true even if you don't have LOS and so have to deal with the orange/black LOS line instead of the green/blue line. Try going to an overhead view (6 or 7) over the target area, that makes it easier to estimate distances if you want to keep the new target within the adjustment radius. (The gridded terrain mods help a bunch with this, too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
