TheMerlin Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Dear All, I have recently put some effort into trying myself as an artillery observer. The tutorials have been helpful, but are there some other resources I could draw upon? A particular problem I found when calling in artillery without specialised equipment is how to find the accurate direction to the target. Any ideas how I can get a compass or so? Thank you and best wishes, Merlin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 There is currently no compas for "non FO" units in SB. So your bet guess at getting an azimuth to your target is mapreading (identify the terrain feature ...if the terrain has any...your tgt sits on)Not ideal, but better then nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 if you got a printer who can print Overhead paper/transpary film you can print a 6400mils compass rose and just put on your computer screen with a line drawn from your position to enemy position as North is always up in SB map view. So that way you will get a pretty correct direction./KT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Maybe this also helps a bit (not with azimuth, but with other FO stuff)http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbwiki/index.php?title=Artillery_Guide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Don't be in the target area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
