Offboard or Onboard Artillery?

[General SP]

I find it depends on the game engine.

WinWW2/MBT I like offboard with onboard mortar support. The offboardbatteries ammo can last almost through the whole game.


For the older engines like SPWAW and H2H then usually onbaord as offboard artillery goes through very fast so like to only have 1 section firing counter battery or keeping the enemy infantry pinned down with suppression.

Of course when Grumbler sees this post it will be a 25 minute dissertation on how the US/Axis militaries in the years 1945 to present have changed/ rearranged/ went beserk on artillery use and what caliber and rifling each piece had :)
