Steiner14 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm wondering, what are parameters for infantry guns, that they can shoot, if the spotter has clear LOS to the target and the distance to the target in the open is a few hundred meters, too? I always see the message, that there was no line of fire. Time in the battle is running out due to driving around all time and searching for new positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to do inderect fire with the infantry gun(s). They aren't mortars. They have a minimum as well as a maximum range. The target may well be too close to them and they can't elevate high enough to target that area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner14 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 A few hundred meters still too close? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Malcolm Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 A few hundred meters still too close? I'm sure someone will be along with some exact facts and figures. If the target is in the direct LOS of the IG then it will have no problem. If they are close and terrain blocks their LOS then they won't be able to elevate high enough to drop rounds on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 A few hundred meters still too close? Could be. I don't have the figures handy, but I did look them up once, and iirc the minimum range for high-angle fire for both the 75mm and 150mm IGs is over 500 meters. Theoretically, gun crews might be able to shorten the high-angle min. range by deploying on a slope. I don't know if the game models this at all, but I doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodkin Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I had this problem in 'The Monk's Wine' scenario available from the repository. The IG's wouldn't fire on the target until they had LOS even if the FO had a direct LOS to the target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHarry Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 ....about minimum 500m for indirectly, high angle firing 75mm IG18. IF that´s modelled in the game this way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
