 :O  but good, im glad people like the idea, like ive said a few times before it would make quite a few new base taking strategies, and just a new dynamic to maps with no water on them or land locked bases

If you allow long range artillery, then maybe we could get to use Jeeps and planes for spotting.

It would be really cool if we had some sort of 'automatic call of shot' device for a Jeep, 15cwt, Kubelwagon, Storch, Lysander, Cricket etc. Gives us a reason to add these vehicles, planes to the planeset - although I don't know how the 'automatic call of shot' device would work - mini-map maybe?

Not the hijack the thread but what was the purpose of "scoring" the steel on the tanks, by that i mean the rough finish and not smooth, was it a manufacturing decision, or did it serve a purpose, ie smooth armor would be reflective, therefore the sun would glint off of it, possibly giving away the location of the tank.

Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating was applied at the factory to all upright surfaces that could be reached by a man standing on the ground.  The surface was rippled to increase the distance to the steel surface without increasing the weight of the coating.

Ty sir  :salute  I didnt realize that it was a coating applied to the steel and not the mfg of the steel itself.

As has been said in all the other SP Arty threads.  If we had any of these we would need Forward Observers.  'nuff said, I am in.  I new role for a jeep or scout cars.

Ugh, I hate the sound of Katyusha. I had the 122mm version of those shot at me when I was deployed to Iraq. Wasn't fun when they traveled at 700mph and only had a thirty second flight time from nine miles away. But they would be a great terror weapon in the game. Especially lobbing them towards the end of a runway when aircraft are attempting to take off. I'm all for the mobile artillery. Heck, they should even add that huge train cannon that the germans had.
sorry to hear that, at least your in one peace

If we are going to have artillery??
Then lets quit dinkin around...
Give us ARTILLERY!!!

The almighty 8inch is the only choice..
8in Howitzer M1/M115 carriage, (towed)..
or 8in/M43 self propelled, (Easy8 chassis)..

That'd make ANY gunbunny happy!!!

This game could really use a clown car, my vote is for the BA-64B ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BA-64 ).

I thought some self propelled artilery for town killing would be cool, it would be nice to have some power close to that of a cv in a land locked area. Just a thought, feed back is appreciated.

Like i said just a thought, but i thought it might add a new tactic and dynamic to the game
800 mm Gustav (biggest piece of artillery ever) big cannon
