Alright, thanks for the responses. Will use these and see how it comes out. Thanks!

No Im not using ACE, its for playing on a non-ACE server. What Im trying to figure out is... say the armor icon isnt on the map yet, or im trying to call it in on infantry/artillery positions. What methods can I use to get the grid coords to call the fire in at?

The first profile is named after your USER name on the PC, not sure if changing user name on PC would change original player name but as stated, easiest way to do it is just make a 2nd profile.

Hey guys, Widowmaker here from 7th Cav servers. Some of you may know that I really like playing as FO for gunships of all the various types but I want to expand into playing FO for base artillery. Ive been trying to figure it out how to get the coords to call in and mark on map where to put down artillery fire. I know that the grid is 100m squares, and the hypotenuse (corner to corner diagonal range) is approx 141 meters, but I still cant seem to get good coords for marking when I know the range, due to nothing ever being directly ahead or at an exact 45 degree angle from me. Are there some tricks to getting these right? So far the only thing I can think of is trying to make a triangle and using some algebra to get the ranges, and then use direct 90 degree angles to figure it out. Problem is, I only have 1 range. So anyways, I know that might a jumbled mess and hard to understand my issue, but if anyone can point me to a guide for acquiring coords as an FO for artillery fire, Id be much appreciative. Thanks!
