rework the radio man artillery strike to be able to adjust the amount of shells that are called down, less shells faster cool down, more shells longer cool down, and adjust the spread to be larger or normal size

also allow for selection of artillery

  • heavy artillery / heavy artillery with long cool downs and limits to just a few shells per strike, but can hit hard and fast with large splash and able to take/disable out tanks with ease, but heavy artillery could take awhile to land
  • light artillery / artillery with a good cool down and medium splash (basically what it is now)
  • mortars / allows for large amounts of shells over a longer barrage but more shells = longer cooldown so its a choice of AOD or surgical strike
  • special support / a way to allow the more interesting artillery take part such as the nebelwerfer, hedgehog, T40/M17 or the Katjusha

i thought we were against the whole skill-less HE spam.

Well this would allow skill to take part in it, a skilled player can call in a surgical strike with arty

But also they are not many people that use the radio man

aka heavy artyllery on enemy spawn

“surgical”

that’s the main point.

you grab the artillery squad if you want to have " surgical " HE strike or smoke.

which are both pretty much important.

outside the fact that are so innacurate.

and then, stalingrad with the heavy bombers…

i’d say it’s balanced.

( outside the heavy bombers with the airplanes from stalingrad. that’s… annoying resulting in:

You cant call arty in on the grey area

but you can call it 30m away for the spawn, with your propsoal there isnt much of a way to escape arty if not wait it finished.

Right now artillery magically falls 90° out of the sky, there needs to be a arc to the shells. It’s not a orbital barrage from star wars

I’ll throw in my artillery ideas too:

Now that we have binoculars; they should be required to call in artillery by line of sight instead of by marking the map.

Maps should have their own nation specific artillery physically placed outside of the battlefield. That could then be attacked and temporarily disabled by aircraft.
