Vesku Wrote:How can you tell which targets are observed by FO and which are not? The idea at this point is to make it as simple as possible, once you get exceptions and exceptions to exceptions the rule gets useless because no one can monitor it anymore. BTW, this is why we had a misunderstanding with Chris :)
About scens, I must say that it pisses me off that there is no FOs. What kind of idiot plans to use several battalions of artillery and sends not a single FO to the area? Has that EVER happened in history?
Nothing to do with number of tubes, just emphasis on the importance of FOs. Try it next time you play a purchase battle.
Batan? IIRC, all the FO's were in the lines carrying rifles. I am not very confident of the source. It was a book on guerrillas in the Philipines and I found a lot of BS in it, which makes me wonder about the parts I didn't know anything about.
The US is having a Pentegon brew-ha-ha over that today, or was last year. With all the new gear, the army wants to llet anyone call airstrikes. The Air Force doesn't. As far as srty goes, the US Army is phasing it out, which is a huge mistake. The Jedi Knights at the Pentagon claim there is no mission for it, since the Air force can put more HE on a target with greater accuracy. MLRS is tasked with counter battery and mortars used in local ontrol, so the arty is getting hosed.
None of the Jedi Knights are asking what happens if the AIr Force cannot gain control of the air? The rockets are too expensive for a sustained bombardment and mortars don't have the range.
