Title: I want a j3 cub
Post by: Citabria on March 13, 2011, 12:00:24 AM: I want a j3 cub that spawns from gv spawns with 4 pieces of artillery that spawn in a random spot from the enemy base being attacked of a size selectable in the hangar... ie 105mm 75mm etc

the artillery is spotted by the j3 and can be destroyed by the opposing team.

if the j3 is destroyed the player is ported to the gunners position of the artillery which can not move but can still fire until destroyed.

Post by: Volron on March 13, 2011, 12:33:24 PM: How do you get your arty to accurately fire at at something? How do you tell them how many salvo's you want them to fire (though this one could go to the .salvo command(?)) or if you want them to fire till they run out of ammo? How would you resupply them (if allowed to), and what I mean by that is, how would you accept a supply for each gun or does just accepting supply at one gun resupply them all? If you get "knocked" into a gun, how do you proceed to use it accurately? I really don't want to ask this next question but; Would being killed in the gun count against you? Would making kills and/or destroying stuff net you perks after your J3 was shot down or crashed, or does it fall under the Gun Ship or Field category after the J3 is down?

These are a few of the questions I have. More may follow...

As for the general idea... :bhead *drools* :x +1 :aok

Then use .correction xxx yyy to adjust and fire the next round.

Then .barrage or .fireforeffect to fire a concentration on target once adjustments are done.

good point there. you dont need a Cub though. use a damn jeep to spot.

for artillery though you'd still need a grid layover for the map so you can shell the target
