Off map arty CB issue

[Tazak]

PSA saved game from MWest iron horse scenario - kept getting off map CB notifications while I only had 1 platoon of 4.2" SP mortars (which was moving most of the time and out of range to any map edge). On ending game and checking it turns out 1 soviet bty of off map arty was CBing the other soviet off map arty bty although nothing was being noted about what was 'scoring the kills'

Not really a bug. Off map arty unit in 2.09 are subjected to a chance of being CB fired on by enemy "off map" arty units. This was added to have off-map arty with a viable threat against it.

[Tazak]

but should soviet arty be CBing soviet arty

[Tazak]

Yet something was doing this to these off map arty units, I know the US SP mortar was moving on several occasions when off map CB notification was happening

And nothing was getting credit for the kills

[CapnDarwin]

I failed explanation 101.[:(]

Any off-map artillery unit, that fires a mission, can be detected and counter fired on by "external - non player controlled/owned" assets. This has nothing to do with any on or off-map units you have in play. Some other, higher level force is dealing with them.

Hopefully, a better explanation.

[Tazak]

CD, think we're crossing wires

Fully understand your explanation here, I'm just concerned that I have RED bty A and RED bty B both counter battery firing each other

[CapnDarwin]

Ah so.. We'll check it out. Now that I get the issue. [8|]

Looking at this again, I would say all is working as intended. Both Soviet Arty units hit 3 targets. In one case, they knocked out a US mortar track. In shooting at on map units, they were detected and hit a few times by NATO CB fire. Not hitting themselves.

I think we are good. [8D]
