pute01 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Artillery munitions comes in three flavours; General, armour and personnell. What is the best type of munitions mix to use on buildings. Is it general? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 General or armour are straight HE. Both are good against buildings but I prefer armour because it seems to give a tighter shot group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker15 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 What does the "armor" option actually do? It seems to use standard HE shells, are they on a slight delay fuse to maximise penertration? Or just a slightly different shot pattern? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 They seem to be in a tighter shot pattern although it may be that I am seeing things. Basically what "armor" will do is ensure that only HE is used. With general it is possible to get a mix of HE and airburst rounds depending on the target. It doesn't happen often, especially since most general missions are called against buildings, but I have seen it. To me the "general" barrage also seems to have a bigger "footprint." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeroma Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I was an artillery officer. When I had to shoot with indirect fire against the tanks, used grenades HE, even if the projectile does not directly hit the tanks, which fell close enough to be able to cause damage, especially to the tracks, this due to splinters. I did a test with CMSF Marines, but there is failed.If a hit by 155mm that weighs 55 or 60 kg will fall to 10 meters from the tanks, the damage can be severe.
