Lanzfeld Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 1. If I want to shoot my mortar at a TRP I have to have the mortar HQ or higher ask for it. Why cant I just go to the mortar team and request the shooting directly? I mean, you can target direct with a mortar team if you have LOS so why cant they shoot a TRP directly? 2. If I move my mortar team during a game how is it they can still fire at a TRP? In CMx1 wasn't the TRP null and void for a mortar team if they moved to simulate the data going out the window? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the mortar teams know there is a target at TRP and it's the right time to fire if nobody tells them? 2. If I move my mortar team during a game how is it they can still fire at a TRP?

Good point, only mortar teams that never moved should get the bonus firing at TRP location. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzfeld Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 "How can the mortar teams know there is a target at TRP and it's the right time to fire if nobody tells them?" Same way as their HQ that is sitting 10 meters in front of them with no LOS to TRP knows. You. As far as I know it NOBODY has to have LOS to the TRP for you to order a strike there. Steve, Any official word on this please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 The whole point of a TRP is that nobody has to see it in real time -- it's a set of coordinates that were pre-registered before the battle started. Now, to adjust rounds once the firing started, a spotter would need to have eyes on the TRP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzfeld Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yes we know what TRPs are in real life I just want to know how/why they work in this game. See original questions in first post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
