As far as accuracy, use the Laser Designator. The M109 can fire Copperhead rounds (laser seeker head). Range and accuracy for conventional rounds, simple trig. Arty btry is at Hg69 and you need arty support at Bc24, point and right click at the spot you need it to rain down on by an FO (another mission!), "0" for radio, "Fire Mission" say at "5", then another window to choose what type of target (ie. infantry, armor, trucks, whatever) which would then allow you to choose type of ammo and number of rounds, boom! gun bunnies do your thing, baby. Not that hard. Let the computer figure out propellent needed. It's always nice to have a forward observer to direct incoming joes, kinda like "Bomberman". The math is easy, the code is the problem, I guess, I don't know computer code writing. I've been a Redleg for over 20 yrs. Ain't nothing but a thing! If you can lob a -203, a 155 or a 105 is the same principle. By-the-by, you'd need the gun angle more than 45 degrees for those small islands. How big are they again?<span id='postcolor'> I'm not talking precision accuracy...I just mean accuracy to within 100 meters at least. If it's that easy please write some cpp scripts that syncronize those triggers and markers on the map with the gun elevation and turret direction....and of coarse that made the M109 fire when you gave the fire command. If you can figure out how to do all that then you'd be a hero! Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manec 0 Posted July 16, 2002 Sorry, wish I could. I could learn to write the code, I suppose. What I was saying was that if you can use a laser designator and instead of a fast mover (or A-10's) coming in with Hellfires, have a joe come in. same type of code as is written for M-203 only over longer distances. In theory, it doesn't seem too hard, but, alas, I don't know how to write it, just think it. and that's where all great ideas begin...all I need is help to develop it further. Right now I'm just a weed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
