Indirect fire weapons (artillery)

[dragon40]

Since the advent of gun powder artillery has been on every battle field world wide.
That being said I haven’t a clue why we would have tiger tanks and no artillery.
I think they could easily model it into the game pulled by gv’s like the m-3 and jeeps.
And perhaps model a heavy truck to pull around heavier pieces. Also the use of h lock as used from cv’s could be used and jeeps could be given binoculars for use as forward observers. Also part of the ordinance option should be smoke to allow marking for bombers.

Well this could be used for killing town from far out, but....that would be to gamey.

Actually artillery in ww2 and today is very effective at disabling tanks even with indirect hits.

Why do these things always end so badly, well, here's why.

Indirect Artillery, who gets the kills, are they visible, can they be killed, or is it just random shells falling from the sky blasting a town or base to smithereens?

Otherwise, its a no. -5

some shermans and t34s had rocket launchers used as artillery attached to the tops of their tanks.they didnt come from the factory like that of course.but seeing how the russians had and used alot of rocket launchers as artillery seems like we would have them here.they didnt just use them for troops,they were also used for tank killin.

Of coarse they can be killed an artillery battery is very soft just. I just think it would add a realistic aspect to the game.

[dragon40]

In my opinion it would cause base taking to be more realistic and reduce a lot of the late night base taking. Since one guy in an artillery peace could bombard his own map room from his base. It would also get some of these guys out of these wirbles and get them back in heavy armor. And lastly would help reduce a lot of the spawn camping that goes on.

First of all, learn to spell and use grammar, second, don't post threads until you know what you're talking about. Third, please don't argue saying, "I'm not new to AH. I've already played 1 week of it." thanks.

they are not much diffrent from the Battleships 16" guns shelling an air feild? there shouldn't be a problem with mobile artillery

Ship guns are often out of range from players on ground zero. So any arty with that kind of range would only be useful for objects.  You couldn't clear a spawn point from beyond that range. Something like 10K?

LVT4 works just fine as indirect fire weapon. Especially as its soft enough that it pretty much can't take much of a hit. Just need a spotter in another vehicle to call your shots for you.

100 rounds of 75mm HE works very nicely.

i like the thought of artillery, but it will be exactly what happens with CVs.......get off a few shots and here come the bombers

[waystin2]

I was envisioning something that could shoot & scoot.  Makes it harder for the bombers/JABOS to target.  Something towed by the SDK or M-3 perhaps?

Bf2 style no way. Using ai, no way.

As for the tiger. Its not worth the perks to take it out.
