Artillery plotting - RedDevil - 04-09-2017

Hey Fellows

Been a while Smile
Updated my CD version to the newest V11 and was playing a little to scrap off some rust


I went to plot some artillery with my FO and got this

 my M37s are on board and can direct fire HE, no problem,  is there something I'm missing as to why I can't plot them to shoot a HE bombardment using the FO?

Did the whole COY sell off their HE and run down to the VAPE store?
Has sPutin Hijacked our HE shipment?

didn't see anything more specific about this in the manual, everyone is in radio contact
is there a range limit? they're only about 15 hexes away..
something else?

Thx,
Dev

Hmmm, looks like a bug to me. Did you check the unit and its' properties in the game itself to make sure they have HE rounds? What is the month and year of the game, I will check it on my end.

Hey Chris,

scenario date is 1/1951 us vs china
unit is M37 105mm HMC SP artillery
120rds of 105mm M4 HE
6rds HEAT
90rds .50cal
Varies on smoke 5 to 7rds dependent on unit
available 1/47 to 12/54

It did show me able to use them on turn 2 and I plotted them, but they never fired. I went back and tried to replot after 3 turns and they were unavailable to shoot HE, only smoke.
I checked units and they all have ammo, so I used them to direct fire with no issues. They're just not SU152s and get hurt easily.. :)

They work for me, turn 2, 1/1951.  Could you have a bad install maybe?  This is a custom buy and not a pre-made scenario? I plotted on T2 and they came in on T5 no problem.

Hey bud,

installed again all patched.. I am installing from CD, btw
damn things still do it.. has to be a distance issue or something really simple I'm missing..
I just bought 4.2 inch mortars instead and they work just fine. LOL

thanks for looking tho!
