How to save ammo ?

[Kirq]

The question is how to perform area/object attack and somehow control number of rounds fired at targeted location. Lets assume I want to fire Javelin at the building I suspectin enemy presence. When I target the buildind my Jav operator fires all 3 javs. I tried to order pause for 45 sec and then target building but it didnt worked, I think it applies more to movement orders.

I got the same problem when I use MGS to fire at buildings. It shots ~5 main gun rounds a minute :/

Didnt check light target order but due to manual it will make my squad use only small arms against targeted building and MGS will propably use its MG.

It works for infantry as well as vehicles.

Edit:

This also can help.

The key is you break your Combat Command with a FACE/ARC at the following waypoint.

You must be playing WeGo. I've got spoiled playing Realtime where commands can be stopped and started at will. But then again, in Realtime I do tend to have all my tanks on the far side of the board get brewed-up while I'm concentrating on loading a team into a Stryker to acquire extra 5.56 ammo.

Thank You Huntarr.

Thats not exactly what I was thinking about but it should do the job, I was just hoping that I missed something and there is a easy way to control intensity of Your fire. Maybe BF will add some order/option to solve this problem in one of future patches.

PS. You accidently posted 2 same links.

EDIT.

I just can imagine how it is posible to play CMSF real time Sometimes I spend 10 min setting orders for 1 min round Controling all this vehicles long range fights and concurrently infantry squads during cqc seems to be inpossible to me
