OK to do Artillery would be SO EASY in this game it's not even funny. I have some solutions here for those that might pay attention.

First thing is we need an Artillery piece to operate. Easy deal here because we already have a 5" and 8" piece modeled onboard the ships correct? You take the single 5" mount on the CV's and put it on a vehicle. What vehicle do you use. Easy answer to that one also.

M3 Halftrack is now a T-19 GMC (Gun Motor Carriage 105mm)

Panzer IV is now a Sdkfz 165 Hummel

T-34 is now a SU-122

OK we now have several vehicles with Artillery pieces on them, with only needing a limited amount of modeling done by the staff at HTC. Should be easy for them to modify what they already have right?? They would need to set the end stops for the traverse of the guns, and basically give them all the 5" single mount off the CV's we already have. It's close enough to the guns these things had to work for our purposes in the game.

Fielding the things would be easy too. Make it possible to take a formation of guns (like bombers) for a modest perk cost (say 5 points for a formation) and free if a single. They would use the same targeting system already used by the ship guns when used in "land" mode. They would also have a direct fire capability if your in sight of the target and not doing indirect fire. Give them the abillity to fire a red colored smoke round for spotting purposes and the forward observers in other GV's or aircraft can call in adjustments for fire. Regular vehicle supplies can resupply the guns with shells from a M3 half track.

Give them all say a 15 second delay from the time they stop to being able to fire the gun, as these things did not fire on the move.

I'm sure some things might need to be "tweaked" to get it perfect but the concept is so simple I'm surprised it's not been done already.

As a former "Red Leg" / "Gun Bunny" / Artilleryman I would LOVE to see this in the game. Come on HiTech give us some BIG guns to play with.

+1...been advocating this since I started playing.

[AWwrgwy]

LVT-A4?  With a 75 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M8 turret armed with a 75 mm howitzer?

Would have to alter the looks, and the damage to a small degree, a 5" gun is about a 130mm cannon.

Panzer IV is now a Sdkfz 165 Hummel

Was a 150mm heavy howitzer. We would have to adjust the damage, and the looks of the gun and what not.

T-34 is now a SU-122

Wasn't a 130mm gun, we would have to alter the looks and damage a bit

Would love to see this happen. The 75mm LVT isn't very effective IMO: too much drop on the round, meaning its very sensitive to fire corrections, meaning indirect fire is damn hard to do effectively. Another issue is that it just doesn't have the range to keep it safe from tanks: You can't shell an adjcent base in TT from yours meaning you have to get closer, where your guys don't have absolute control.

the priest was the british name, i forgot the american version

[Nemisis]

Oh, I have an idea to go along with the artty, enable the RV8 as a scouting plane. And make it different in that once an RV8 "calls" an artillery strike, all the artty withing 4 miles of the target gets land gun mode enabled, like on the CV's. Also, have the RV8 get assists on whatever they kill, mayby .25 perks for every perk point they earn?


American name for the Priest was the "105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7".
