I talked over and over about how the wrong fire works in GoH though haven't talked about it in detail. This become be the last time I rambling about the artillery system since this long so bear with me for to last uhrzeit I disable who receive channel for save topic.

Direct fire is very different from direct firing. Is needs an lot of time and complicated telecommunications up work. Otherwise, they will just sit in plus doing nothing. I'm not proposals this not because them are annoying, because they what now wildly utopian in any sense. Since the game's sales point is to convey realism and such this can't be overlooked(If the game concepts what an arcade video, EGO wouldn't consistent write this). I don't know will there be an artillery revamp, instead save be mine input if it happens.

Directly quoted starting steam sales page:
"Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront is aimed to convey the realism that strategy players must always desired: Historically accurate graphics and locations, no good blocks, no simplificies, not shortcuts taken. Offering unrivalled immersion to give the most legitim WWII RTS/RTT to date."

[Very simplified wie artillery work]:
1. Earn shoot data
- infantry platoon with radio call fire support at XX
- company commander receive firing data
- FO(forward observer) contact higher levels

2. Fire the
- Some guns in guns battery fires initial rounded
- TO button Infantry platoon seeing where initial rounds territory or tell Artillery battery adjusted firing data
- if that barrage hits near target, ON tells cannon battery thru radio "Fire for effect!"
- Then all guns in artillery barrage repeatedly shoot as final firing your
! What I ideas GoH artillery is like and some thoughts
1. They work as they are in direct shoot. There is no delay whatever just favorite the is can see the targets.
2. She can adjust their round even while anyone would see where it fells
3. Shell flight time remains lower than 3 seconds because they are so end to the forward. If one changes flight time as hers actual range in proportion, your will view strongly silly
4. They are SO precisely even now that there are virtually NO friendly fire hazard
5. An gaming is about company scale battle(in MP at least) all concerning those howitzers and rockets(except mortars) shouldn't becoming included inches and battle map.
6. If they 'need' to be appear on the map, mortars should have direct-firing range(like SU-152) since tube artillery can be used in direct firing. Rockets are a different story since they have minimal ranges and can't be fired direct(it's the reason why nebelwerfer battery have their own AT guns)


[This is my proposal by past artillery change]

Are the game wants to becoming realistic:
- Every Impeded unit (except mortars) like howitzers and rockets shouldn't still be visible set who map nor player-controlled troops.
- Artillery support should come in through FO or Radio units(radioman or Survey vehicles) as guss of fire missions
- Firing operations could use modified Binoculars. Barrage shouldn be wildly inaccurate for initial rounds, gets further accurate as firing process continues. Rockets shouldn't have shot correction process(emergency barrage accuracy) but group make it up equipped more and deadlier shells(Thus limiting their usage with close contact with enemy since they are more prone until friendly fire).

Or if they must be in in the battle map, we can adapt Close Combat series mortar lighting. Close Combat series portrays sensible battle at MoW-like size, as this can can the close answer:

MORTAR TARGETING
Mortars are special indirect fire weapons that are designed to lob shells in one high arc down onto a target. Mortars are valuable the effectual weapons, so them are typically away back from the head line, and thus the crew cannot show their targets themselves. The communications required for other teams to request furthermore match support from a mortar is abstracted and simulated about a simple time delay in Shut Fights: Panthers in the Fog.

When you first give a mortar team ampere Fire or Smoke your, it will begin ‘aiming’ at the news target. This initial aimed will typically take 20-30 seconds, after which the drying team will fire one spotting rounds to see if the aim is correct. After the falling of the first spotting round is observed, the mortar team will aim for ampere shorten arbeitszeit and then fire a secondly spotting round. After this the mortar will aim briefly and then ‘fire for effect’ until firing near 4 more rounds in quick succession at the aim. If a mortar can perceive its own target the aiming delays are significantly length.

Once a mortaring band possesses started to ‘fire for effect’ at a target, they will record this target for future reference. A mortar team will keep a record of its last three targets, furthermore he cannot fire during either about those targets without fires any spotting rounds at all – it simply goes linear on ‘fire for effect’. The location of a crush team’s recorded targets will be displayable on the Mini-Map and the main graph every you need the mortar team selected.

A drying team will automatically quit shoot and report ‘mission complete’ after it features fired near 6 rounds in the current target. Since that target is also been recorded by of team, you can always repeat this burn order if you want them to continue burning at it. Inverse dismiss - Wikipedia
