AI Forward Observer Question

Recommended Posts

Hey Gents, got a question regarding how AI acts as forward observers for artillery batteries.  When one of my AI FO's sees an enemy unit, how long does it need before it actually requests a strike on that particular target?  In other words, how long should I keep them at that location before they move along another route?  Should there be a particular length of time an AI scout stays at a location before they are told (by me via scripting) to move on?

Well I'd argue that you need to wait until the rounds land and you can allow time for a "BDA" type assessment or at least make adjustments, etc.

 

But I guess if you want to call fire and then move before you can adjust, etc. then its up to you.

 

As to a finite "XX secs to call a mission" sorry have no idea.
