Artty Again-part duex

Yes, and its not wise to stay in a prolonged fight when your in a vehicle with relatively thin armor. IMO, its like a little warning light saying "Hey, you're pushing it, might wana RTB next kill".


Honestly, I think the reason HTC hasn't added some, along with more tanks, is that most of the players yell for "more important" additions, such as AC or a reworked damage modle.

IMO, if we had more vehicles, a lot more people would GV, and we would see GV's taking a more important role in the MA's.

agreed nemesis... we need more GVs. the war wasnt won just because of aircraft alone nor in the numbers ratio plane to GV

Well some may not like this thought. But I also would like to see it capable of pushing AA into the air, similiar to a 5" gun. Make it a 2" gun with less lethality, and make it a 5 second delay or somewhat longer load time. But to be able to have HE/AA with it, would rock. I know theres alot of people who are excellent shots in one, but might give the high buffs a good reason to hit the VH. Or hell carpet bomb a position. Eitherway, I still would like to see arty in the game. Even if its fixed points.

     Just joking fellas

Damn rino, now I want that. I need a replacment for my wirb, there is no 1-shot-kills on A-20's and other heavies.

Im looking for full out flack. Not wirble or osti. I mean proxi rounds. With the capability of HE, if its movable. Reload times can be slow. But Arty should be in.

     Don't want much, do ya?  Proximity rounds on a 40mm <approx 2 inch> are going to have a very small
kill zone.  I'm not even sure they made the VT fuses for that small a round.

Rino, 2" is a 50.8mm cannon, so lets just say its a 50mm. Not saying its a reasonable request, but just saying your off by 10mm.

Personally, I want a 75mm (U.S. or Jap, doesn't matter to me) AAA gun, towed by a truck, that takes 1 min to deploy (really, its not gona take 5 to un hitch a gun, and spread out supports. And our CV's already go too fast to be realistic, so if deployment times are a little fast, its fine).

     Fine, find me a 50.8 mm anti aircraft gun then    I know Bofors made a nice 40mm that just about
everyone used.  I did say approximately ya know.  I think 1 minute is unrealistic in the other direction
myself.   Set piece AAA was never meant to be set up in a mobile environment.

[Nemisis]

Yes, up, tow out of the hanger, field vulchers, and hanger campers go bye-bye.

[321BAR]

40mm bofors, what do we have on the field guns at the moment? i thought they were bofors 40s.....

[Nemisis]

A german 37mm model, I forget the designation. Same as on the osti I think.
