Enemy Artillery AI is bugged

[WildCatNL]

One question tho, what impact does having or not having a spotter impact arty effectiveness?

In the target hex, the target's vehicles/sections typically are dispersed.
Having a spotter means that the volleys (sheaf) can be directed at the largest clump of vehicles. Without a spotter, the artillery is firing blind, and a 6 gun sheaf of say 80m x 20m is having much chance of hitting say 4 dispersed vehicles in a 500m x 500m hex.
(Depending on the communication channel latency between spotter and shooter, the spotter might be able to pass another correction during the fire mission).

So yes, a spotter could explain the discrepancy you are seeing.

Hi guys, I just played high sticking as the Canadians, the Czechs didnt seem to use there heavy 152mm arty, except for once which knocked out an APC...

I looked at the enemy 152mm units after the battle was over, they all had hundreds of shells left unfired and no kills...

Is this a part of the bug that this thread is about?

Or am I not understanding something?

I have saves if needed....
