GPS Guided Artillery Shell - How to use?

Recommended Posts

Afternoon

 

I'm curious about where the guided element comes in with a "Guided" shell.

 

(Please note I'm not referring to laser guided here)

 

 

I don't see any facility to set a GPS location or anything.

Is it simply that the shell hits the specified target location with greater accuracy?

Supposedly, BIS isn't the greatest when it comes to doing artillery right anyway.

I did some experiments with arty, and I 'think' guided = heat seeking. So if you mark a vehicle on the map, then go into the arty computer and send a guided shell to that point on the map (I assume you can still see map markers in the arty map), it should hit the vehicle. It gets a bit haywire when there are burning wrecks in its vicinity though i think.

I don't know how it is guided, but I do know it's pretty damn accurate. It's not heat seeking because I've targeted and hit cold targets such as buildings.

Pretty much, yes.
