Beagle 674 Posted July 2, 2009 You are doing something wrong! You have to use the artillery Module and you hardly will se the impact. Mortars are not for line of sight shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flarmapoint 2 10 Posted July 2, 2009 artillery module? could you please explain what this is :) and I know that i wouldnt see the mortar, but i did some test at close range, with it aimed at a mountain, and no explosion:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frederf 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Try firing at vertical as you can. That should be 100m or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon C 0 Posted July 2, 2009 artillery module? could you please explain what this is :)and I know that i wouldnt see the mortar, but i did some test at close range, with it aimed at a mountain, and no explosion:( It takes ages to land, it is travelling a long distance after all, if not horizontally then vertically.

Fadly 10 Posted July 3, 2009 first you need to place an artillery unit like Mortar.Then place game logic into the map. How? You place a new unit on map. then choose this :- Side = Game Logic (not OPFOR or BLUFOR) Class = Modules Unit = Artillery When you run the game, make sure youre the gunner. then press enter. you'll see an action list, one of them is artillery targetting. choose that. then a map will appear. in that map, you'll see some sort of reticule. adjust the bearing and angle of your mortar to bring the reticule over you're intended target. if you use Utes map, make sure you adjust your angle as vertical as possible until you can see the reticule. after you place the reticule over the target, you may release your deadly barrage. it will take quite a while before the round will hit. it's most likely that you'll fired all your rounds before the first round will land. note : The artillery targetting are only working with mortar. i can't get it to work on other artillery pieces like M119, D30, MLRS and Grad. Is there anyone know how to make it work with other pieces beside mortar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flarmapoint 2 10 Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks guys, i got it to work :D But is there anyway of getting an AI to use the mortar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vshadow 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Has anyone noticed that you don’t get the little map logic in the armoury or is that a bug for me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
