"BTW....if you ever play against me, Fast arty will be OFF Big Grin"

Why? I never could understand that. If you use the replay, isn't it to gather data on what your opponent is doing? If so, then there is MUCH more information available with fast arty on. It makes it much easier to get a tube count (each series/group/cluster of explosions is one tube or battery. With FA (FAST ARTY) off, the message line doesn't change so you just see one explosion after another with no break between tubes. This makes it hard to count tubes as well as not being able to judge how far the adjustment was(based on the number of shots), which in turn gives an idea of where your opponents point of interest was.
If you just like watching explosions, then I would say the FA on explosions are much nicer.
Here is where I trot out a new pony for everyone to ohh and ahh over.
FA On should be the default and FA Off should only happen when the shoot is spotted. This would free up a button that could be put to use on something else. Environmental affects?
If arty is that boring, why do you want to sit and watch more of it?
The real problem from my POV is that when one player has it On and the other OFF, the player with it off doesn't see anything at all.
To abuse a Gracie Slick line, sort of like the ones that mother gives you.
