LOS frustation & other bugs playing germans - Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

[KeBrAnTo]

Yep, I ordered two barrages on two opposite edges of the map, more or less 150 meters from the actual edge of the map each one, have LOS to the target and the officers are veteran, one of them 300 meters away from the target and the other one literally at 50 meters from the target point. Artillery support request was done using line mode, with just 70 meters long or so each.

There is no strong wind involved, and wind is not likely to be causing the issue as both artillery requests were called in opposite sides of the map as wind only blows in one direction at a time.

After fire was calibrated by the spotters (I don't know how, because the spotting shells exploded off map too) shells started dropping off map in both places, so I decided to adjust them, but same result.
I adjusted fire three times one of the artillery support requests and two the other one, with the same results, only this last turn a couple of shells hit at the very edge of one side of the map.

Might be lack of luck, maybe, but it looks like very weird to me.

As far as I know (maybe I'm wrong), a spotter won't confirm the target point until he could actually spot these calibration shells otherwise they keep being fired until effective fire is confirmed, can they see the shells falling off map?, I don't know.

As for the spotting rounds falling off map that sounds like total crap and I have no idea where to go with that one. You said you had it happen several times? If you want to dig into it we can try to get it to happen regularly and find the bug. When spotting rounds fall out of sight of the FO all kinds of bad things can happen. It could be that falling off map is creating that situation artificially. I don't now I'm just guessing there and should probably stop cause guessing is not helpful.
