Artillery

[MK-84]

Haha good one you are joking right?  The new vehicles system is based off of the WoT style even Hitech said so.

Although similar... I highly doubt that one company would say they used another company's idea.  Why not show us where that was quoted

[MK-84]

Oh, I forgot to add my opinion, I think artillery has no place in this game.

Theres very little to aim artillery at.

It would spread GV's out more, making them easier picking for aircraft.

It would be harder to find a fight.

How? Its main target would almost certianly be structures. If you're trying to use this as a GV-buster you're an idiot.

Targets in list of priority:

1) town (its a 150mm heavy gun for christs sake. A battery of these things will flatten a town in minutes, with no travel time).

2) airfield structures. Knock down the hangers, knock down the ord.

3) CV's.....  hehehehehehe, screw you noe horders.

4) field guns

5) resupply convoys

6) random trees...... 'effing trees  .

7) tanks




OK, maybe not the trees and convoys, but still, out of the main (to say nothing of obvious) targets, GV's will still be on the bottom.

While I see how a lone gun would be ineffective for destroying a GV because of lack of precision, I can see it be used, in numbers, as a kind of interdiction weapon, to deny spawn camper a safe spot. With multiple, player manned, artillery pieces shelling an area under the direction of a spotter. Enough to rattle the campers cages and keep them on their toe. With a few of them, a couple player could very well create a very hazardous corridor to a base. Same thing goes for the attacking side. I can very well imagine tracted artillery in game as well as see a couple situation where they could be fun to use. That would give attackers and defenders another tactical choice. Never a bad thing.

How about a GV-only ultra-zoomed clipboard map that displays a red dot (for enemy) or grey dot (for smoke) that is reported from friendly GVs or Storchs?

[Tank-Ace]

Bad idea, IMO. Then we're getting into the range of GPS targeting, advanced IFF systems, and guided munitions, if we can exactly pinpoint the location of an enemy from upwards of 10 miles away.

What's the range on those rockets on the Sherman? I had high hopes for those things but I guess I dont have the time or patience to get used to firing them by feel. By the time I find the range, someone's picked me off.

[Tank-Ace]

well it depends on the terrain, since that can affect the range you're shooting for even if its not the true range, but somewhere around a couple miles it looks like.

I don't see any reason to add artillery to the game, it goes to serve no purpose other then town killing or trying to shell planes taking off, in an indirect mode an entire ammo count would be needed to take down 5 buildings in town, useless.

you dont need an ultra zoom map all you need is a some one to be the forward observer in either the Storch, some one in a jeep or the M8, the guy should have experiance in calling in fire missions even though its staright simple

[Rino]

     I have no big issue with artillery, I just don't want to see a World of Aces High 

[Tank-Ace]

Butcher, its really no more useless than bombers, especially with out spawn points.

You could kill towns, field structures, strats, CV's, shore batterys.

The only real difference between what bombers do and what artillery does is that bombers have longer range, and drop their ordnance from high over head, while artillery sends it flying along a flatter trajectory.
