Breakthrough7 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks! 38 minutes ago, Ssnake said: With the PzH 2000 being an open secret, No. It's not used in real life and seems to be primarily a marketing gimmick. It's not used because of the loss of precision, especially in danger close situations (and these days pretty much all engagements are danger close) Tell me about it! My first 155mm HE call for fire in combat was at 400 meters danger close, which is about 600 meters closer than I'd called in training prior. I requested an adjust fire, and instead I got 9 rounds immediate suppression with a 100 meter radius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boys and girls on the line want the fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the final message you receive as the FO before shot&splash, and it's where you learn exactly what will be shot. In it's briefest form it looks something like: "FDC: Message to Observer, Bravo [firing unit] Quick in Effect [changes/additions/effects], 6 rounds [number of volleys], target number AR0005 [target number]. So this example would be 36 rounds of HE/Quick, in the form of a 6 gun battery firing 6 rounds a piece. ------------------------------------ The second half of RPS' The Flare Path article from today features an interview with Ssnake where he expounds on 4.1 and confirms the following vehicles (some of which have already been confirmed elsewhere); -BTR-82A -ATTV Vector -Mercedes G 300 CDi -Fennek family; Stinger, mortar, Spike, reconnaissance and artillery observer vehicles -BMP B-11 Kurganets-25 -BTR B-10 Kurganets-25 -T-14 Armata -K-17 Bumerang -Typhoon-K -2s35 Koalitsiya -BMP T-15 Armata https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/06/21/the-flare-path-invisible-hulls/ Edited June 22, 2019 by Breakthrough7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Great article and great find @Breakthrough7! Good to have the T-14 Armata finally confirmed after all the speculation. Personally I’m quite excited about the MB G 300 CDi (I was wondering if it would be included after seeing it on one of eSim’s mugs) as I can use it as a close proxy for a Cold War Danish recce vehicle in a scenario I’ve had in mind for years... (a sequel to ‘Armoured Infantry Company Attack at Rydsgard 1991’). A few other vehicles confirmed too but I won’t spoil the surprise for others. With CROWS now fully modelled, I wonder if there’s an option to add it to M1A2 SEP? Edited June 21, 2019 by Panzer_Leader 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 21, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2019 No CROWS on the SEP, at least for now. Did I mention that we've been rather busy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so No concern on my part; I was just thinking out loud after reading your interview, as it seemed like a possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 21, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2019 Fair point, it's just that the CROWS II was added only fairly recently. This opens up the possibility to add it to other vehicle, eventually, but it still requires that you modify that vehicle to enable it. This works better if you have a customer for that, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet) I wonder will tactics and gunnery drills etc have to adapt. If the capability's of the T-14 are what the Russians state. And knowing Esim they have modeled as much as they could. It will certainly be a challenge even for the best western tanks modeled in game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildbillkelsoe Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It would be awesome if the T-14 Armata becomes a fully developed vehicle. Till then, I have to sharpen up my gunnery skills for these "Grazing" shots 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev2go Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) just to clarify, is the T15 presented in that video just an AI vehicle or will we have a crewable one? Edited June 22, 2019 by Kev2go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
