artillery system
Currently, Enlisted’s artillery system only has high-explosive bombardment, smoke grenade bombardment, and air bombardment requests.
Air bombing is covered in a previous post.
1. front artillery
More options are available in the squad menu.
Both formations were given mortars, light artillery, heavy artillery, and rocket artillery.
1A. mortar
a) A six-piece battery that fires 8 cm mortars.
You can request support every minute.
When you request support, a total of 12 high-explosives are dropped at the designated location.
b) A six-piece battery that fires 8 cm mortars.
You can request support every 30 seconds.
When you request support, 6 smoke shells are sprayed at the designated location.
This will come in handy when you need to quickly cover the enemy’s line of sight.
The Soviets use 82mm mortars.
1B. light artillery
A four-arm battery that fires 105mm howitzers.
You can request support every 2 minutes.
When you request support, a total of 8 high explosives and 1 observation round are dropped at the designated location.
In the case of the Soviet Union, it is a 107mm division gun.
1C. heavy artillery
A four-arm battery that fires 150mm heavy cannons.
You can request support every 4 minutes.
When a support request is made, four high-explosive rounds will strike at the same time in a wide area.
For the USSR, it is a 152 mm heavy gun.
1D. rocket artillery
One battery that fires 15cm Nephilwerppers.
You can request support every 4 minutes.
When you request support, 6 rockets will land in a wide area with a roaring sound.
In the case of the Soviet Union, it is a Katyusha battery, which fires 8 rockets.
2. Menu renewal
With more options added, we need to refresh the in-game menu.
Press 7 in-game to open the map.
You can select the artillery option with keys 1 to 4.
Mortar is set by default.
- 1 => mortar
- 2 => light artillery
- 3 => heavy artillery
- 4 => rocket artillery
- 5 => Air bombing request
And, for turrets with more detailed options, you can press R to change the type of support you want.
High-explosive bombardment <=> Smoke grenade bombardment (if available)
3. How to fire the battery
By default, artillery fires when requested for artillery support.
However, if there is another request for support while the request is being processed, it will be rejected.
This is the same format as the current in-game.
For heavy artillery and rocket artillery, once you request assistance, you will have to wait at least 2 minutes. The remaining batteries can be immediately requested by others for assistance.
