Star Shells

Post by John in SoFla »

How do you fire a star shell? For the life of me, I can't figure it out. Please, that thud you are hearing is my head banging against the wall...save my head!

In fire mode, Press Alt + Shift and right click where you would like to illuminate.

Keep in mind that starshells have shorter range than normal artillery, and they do fail to fire fairly often.

Thank you...I tried it and here is what happened...

I had Artillery Dialogue opened and hit Shift, Alt and right clicked on desired target, then...The Star Shell fired immediately(and succesfully)...tried it again...same result...is this supposed to hapen? Each subsequent time I did it, same result...glitch?
