Offboard or Onboard Artillery?

[Greybeard]

There seem to be 2 key factors for CB fire to happen..

The experience and artillery command parameters of the battery have great effect.. needless to say, the more the better chance. Having an experienced FO on-map also seems to help.. in a recent game, I had a para FO with experience in the 90's and artillery command in the 80's.. 2 of my off map artillery batteries were also in the mid-70's range, with the rest in the 60's.. I left the 2 most experienced batteries alone, and also the FO alone (there were a couple more).. for a while, those 2 batteries fire CB nearly every turn my opponents off-map stuff fired..

In another game currently running, my off-map artillery has refused to CB.. but then again, I think my lonely FO faked his diploma.. para FO with 90+ experience, and artillery command at around 20.. the FO has delay times of nearly 3.4 turns, and when used to adjust fire will increase the delay by .3 each time the target spot is moved.. I get better results from using the HQ.. and to think this Bozo cost me premium.. :hissy:
