Remove the 5 seconds preparation for artillery (people can see the ahistorical big red dot and run every time)

Personally, I’d prefer the red dot remain, but only appear after the ranging shots. The red dot acts as a psychological area denial tool, and keeps people outside of it from going in until the artillery fire is over / looking for alternate routes.

This.

A ranged shot should be a clear hint for the enemy that a barrage is incoming, justifying the red circle of doom. But it should NOT appear for the enemy side BEFORE that… (unless they have spidey senses).

they should remove the red circle , and leave only few sec warning by sound !.. also sound as air raid sirene can be used to warn that in 1 min aircraft is incoming… can build aa or get killed so can go in plane !

You can! But before the rangefinder shot, even if you HEAR it, how could you guess… where it will land? :wink: hence why the red circle should only appear to the enemy AFTER that shot has landed.
