Mobile artillery

[SKYGUNS]

Mobile artillery would be a great addition to the game. Axis 105mm and Allied 25pounders would be great because you could fire from the spawn at a town, base, factory or whatever and do great destruction instead or risking your lives getting into closer combat, and you might be saying now, great if we get these then we'll just might as well shoot ourselves. But before you do so consider the following

1) armor is considerably thin
2) speed considerably slow
3) firing rate would be like a 5 incher on a destroyer + firing on a  period of time could knock you off target
4) you would have to line your gun up by driving into position before firing and do it on flat terrain to make it the easiest at firing
5) the considerably low speed and armor and lack of rotating gun makes it a bad close combat weapon
6) must be stopped to do accurate fire

But whats great about it is its MASIVE range, damage, and accuracy making it ideal for the game. My vision of it is having it similar to a 5 inch but on tank chaise

it should be easy for HTC to make i think, just make it so a tank chaise carries a gun similar to a 5 inch and fire the required round at the correct velocity, range, and do the correct damage.

I litterally just made a thread about artillary. Mine did not go into detail as your own did, but I think it is a necesary addition to the game. After all, there were no "well that wouldnt be fair" remarks being made during the war. Artillary was used, and it was extremely effective. In order for AH to be an accurate simulation artillary MUST be implimented.

Along with artillary i would also like to see some sort of spotting mechanic. Where forward units could call out coordinates for the artillary to hit. Let me know what you think

i use the lvt4 as mobile artillery. wish i did not have to get so close to fire it.

Very difficult picture to find, about only 5 still live to this day

I've requested an M7 more than once. Pyro told me that he wanted to have it use a spotter plane and wasn't sure how that was going to work. That was a couple of years ago.

I know this might sound stupid but I use to get in a jeep with vehicle supplies (mainly b/c I flipped alot lol) and park where i had a good advantage to spot. I really like this idea

So how would you aim it?Would it be like a CV gun,where you press E or W and open the keyboard and click on a target?Or would it be like a God's eye view when u press a button,and u click on a target in a certain range and the gun adjusts to that position?

It would be like firing a 5 inch on the taskgroups but with no sea mode and no land mode and it would be on a tank chaise like the HUMMEL.

The Wespe would be the only one I'd like to see implemented.

Love the idea but i dont think HTC would put it in the game

Now if we can just get an airburst modeld for those pesky ground troops, oh yeh, while your at it towed artilary wouldnt be bad either, anitaircraft anti tank, ,,geeez sounds like im describing an 88mm >< huh?

Why dont you just sneak a Jeep, get right behind the dude and let your friendlies target him in? 

[pokecheck]

you know that idea of getting an m-7 is great,it would make hitting towns and fields with the 5 and 8 inchers alot easier.

Arty would be a nice addition.  FO could be used from any vehicle or plane and spotting done over vox.
