True artillery

Recommended Posts

It would be great if OFP2 could give us true artillery guns and mortars that could do indirect fire on map coordinates. That would add a whole new dimension to the game to be able to use artillery.

Also, OFP2 would need artillery field guns that can be tracted by vehicles (APC or trucks), as well as radars for target aquisition that can be tracted too (or artillery observation radars mounted on specificaly designed vehicles: tanks or trucks).

It would be great if we could use binoculars with laser telemeter like the Leica Vector or artillery telemeters. It would be a great addition for the snipers and the artillery weapons. But it would also need the ability to risk being spotted by tanks and vehicules equipped a detector of laser target designators. So the fire at long range will be made easier for the snipers, at the cost of risking being spotted by a vehicle and revealing it's position. Hence the dilemna for the sniper to choose carefully if it is needed to use the telemeter, or if it is best calculating range with the sight or a telescope graduated in milli in order not to reveal it's position.

The telemeter would be great for artillery (being able to know the distance to the target). Of course, true artillery weapons like field guns and mortars would also be needed, with an aiming system different from the hand guns: for example a sight giving elevation/distance to the point of impact, and also azimuth and no longer having to aim by guessing and the trial and error method, if the distance to target is known by the use of a telemeter.

the addition of telemeters would also be great because it will allow the use of artillery spotters, artillery fire guiding observation vehicles.

You could have bunkers that are safe from mortar fire and in MP just have a mortar war, forget helicopters, if you want to survive you crawl through the mud and shrapnel and charge the enemy MG positions. Manned by an AI that would not put one bullet through your head, but just spray bullets at you and get help.
