Indirect Arty Fire

[jamespcrowley]

Jason, just noticed your very interesting artillery article:

http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/campaig ... llery.html

You state in it:

"All of the combatants during the war were capable of firing Artillery by coordinates on a map and by the use of a forward observer. Unfortunately, it appears that everyone and their dog is a forward observer in the Campaign Series".

Presumably there has been no change to this in the Matrix re-release. Material for a patch - FOO's ?

Bingo, once Wyatt can figure out the code. Another one of my dreams!

Take care and good luck

Jason, as someone who has no clue about programming, I wonder how realistic is it to expect fairly major changes to the code? And even if theoretically possible is there the time and resource to carry them through?

My dream would be to see a conversion to WE-GO format but I suspect that would be a dream too far.

On the subject of code, what is this written in?

Good question, Wyatt would know.

What type of unit would constitute an FO? Would it be a new unit or maybe an HQ unit? Personally I try to keep the HQ out of enemy LOS. If you're planning on a "new unit" for FO's then would they not be very difficult to be spotted by the enemy? Considdering they are very small units and are trying to be stealthy. The current game allows any unit that moves to lose it's concealment.... period. I like the concept if it can be done.

Yes, it would be a whole new unit, I am imagining anyway.

I agree with the FOO being a small unit and hard to spot.
