jonp Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 All, When using mortars, do you need to have LOS? Or can you be in close contact (visual, audio and/or radio) to fire upon a certain location? Thx jonpfl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 You must have LOS in direct fire, or in close contact with a spotter using support button for indirect fire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 A spotter is anyone with a support button. Can be a vehicle, an FO or an HQ. The support button is the little icon of an arty piece (and, not in the demo AFAIK, an aircraft) in the middle top of the unit info pane. The thing you click to activate indirect fire requests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Don't forget to keep mortar teams next to somebody with a radio too. It doesn't help having the world best forward observer up ahead if you can't establish radio contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
