Improved Artillery
One of the very few things in the Beta Demo that clearly needed tweaking was artillery. On the Forums there were several very informative discussions regarding the hows and whys of proper artillery call, delivery and fall pattern. Well BTS was listening and the following shows that clearer than any words I could possible say.
Allied 105mm artillery spotter plots an observed barrage from a hill into the valley. Estimated time till arrival: 2 minutes.
21 seconds before arrival one lone spotting round comes down and sits pretty much on target.
Half a minute later, the barrage begins - the shot is taken after about two minutes of continuous fire.
Overhead shot to show off the pattern after three minutes
NOTE: This is observed fire and so is very much on target. If the FO had no LOS, the center of the pattern might be off the mark AND the pattern would be much more scattered.
