FCSS arty is OP

Post by Tcao »

OK, guess before me there are hundreds of complaint saying FCSS arty is OP.
I know alots of devastated FCSS arty strike comes down to tactic, execution. But some of the outcry can be justified.
Here are two examples
arty claim 1 fcss.jpg
arty claim 1 fcss.jpg (16.13 KiB) Viewed 508 times
How come 5 rounds of 155mm can destroy 7 x BMP-1s
if this example can be justified as observer guide and adjusting the fire
arty claim 2 fcss.jpg
arty claim 2 fcss.jpg (27.6 KiB) Viewed 508 times
here is another example, how come a blind fire Barrage kills 13 x T-55 with 8 rounds of 155mm?

In the second example the call is for 30 rounds of HE. Could it be that the unit firing is using 8 155mm M185 vehicles to deliver the 30 rounds? Whether 13 contacts destroyed with 30 155mm HE rounds is a lot or a little depends on the contacts I guess.... (and if the claim is correct...).

The first claim is difficult to judge. If it means there are 5 units firing, there is no mentioning of number of rounds send or lenght of the barrage. But 7 APC killed is remarkable shooting for that era. (I am guessing the infantry an HQ were being transported, and are being hit when their APC got hit).
