japinard Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I don't know if this is a bug or not, but during two different quick battles when I called in artillery this is what happened: 1. Artillery fell on far corner of map no where near where I designated the hits. In fact they were closer to my men than the enemies. 2. Artillery fell far western edge of map instead of right in the middle where I targeted. 3. With little mortar support guys. They reigned down their own mortar's just 20 yards from themselves instead of by the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakovski Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Some artillery (e.g. rockets) is very inaccurate to begin with. The spread may be hundreds of meters even if your spotter has LOS. If not it will be even more. On a small map, this often means the arty land off map, on your own guys, or both. Re: the on-map mortar: the minimum range is more than 20m, so probably someone is shooting at you and just haven't spotted them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 If you're spotter is trying to fire 'out of LOS' then you will get wildly inaccurate fire. CMBB was intentionally programmed for this. It is almost never worth it to attempt fire out of LOS unless you are firing on a TRP marker. Experience level also makes a huge difference. Even in LOS conditions a Green or lower experienced FO can lay down some inaccurate fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
