jonp Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 All, Enclosed are two screenshots and I have a few questions about artillery. 1) What does the number and symbol mean in the left middle of the box (one has a 2 and a red x AND the other has a 2 and a yellow dot) 2) How come one says "Denied"? Is there something I have to do to get access to it? 3) Does everyone use the same support? Since there are three boxes, am I to assume that everyone in this battle pulls support from those three? Or do I have to cycle through all my units to see who has what? 4) What guy should I be calling support with? I assume the guy with binoculars? I tried to read some of this stuff in the maunal but it seems to be missing. Thx jonpfl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 answer to #2: For Syrians only Forward Observers can use arty. This should be in the manual somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 As regarding to who you should use, its all in the manual Its quite a lot of information actually. Read the Air / Arty support pages. About that two different icons (red cross / yellow dot), thats something i also have been wondering about. Can any1 enlighten us on these thingy's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meach Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 The red X means it's the best unit to call down arty. It's reverse to the usual meaning of the icons. So a green X would mean it would take ages for this unit to call down fire support. The dots mean ammo remaining but I believe they also have something to do with how busy the unit is performing your fire request. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my pics, you will see the forward observer has yellow dots while the team that is denied to use my mortars has red x's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meach Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Only forward observers can call down arty for the Syrians. Anyone else is denied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
