Does somebody know the "safe distances" of the artillery ordnance used in the game (Meaning: how close can you go to a artillery barrage without hurting yourself) . I think you can go right into one riding inside a tank (How about TC unbuttoned!?). But how about M2:s M113:s and other softer targets. I like to use artillery when attacking (who doesn't) but I would like to time the attack right : First start of with MLRS's or 155mm's and close to their "safe distance" with attacking ground units switch their fire behind the enemy positions to alternate targets, and start bombarding the main target with the mortars. And when arriving to their "safe distance" - limit I would be close enough to start overrun attack. So my question is has somebody timed these barrages , Does somebody know whether these fire missions are "point fire" (fire aimed at specific point) or area fire (100m x 100m square for example). And of course separate "safe distances" for all friendly units. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! -- +----------------------------------------------------------+ : JYRKI SUOKAS : : Internet : jsuo@niksula.hut.fi : +----------------------------------------------------------+
