Both actually with Mortars and arty its they can fire together but most of the time specific FOs fire with Specific Units and only those i don't know how many times we have had trouble with arty fire missions because SB arty cant be separated except with nr of tubes its the same problem when you have the AI set to fire they jsut use all of the tubes and fire nonstop you cant have some units fire with AI and some with human same problem set and fix at the same time MD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Iraq I regularly requested fire from less than a full battery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Wish Mainly pertinenet to the earlier vehicles for the AI TC to "Clear the tube" of the "ineffective at long range AP round" and load the "far more effective at long range" HE round I.E. The longest ranged round as a bigger deciding factor in wether or not to open fire. Edited December 17, 2020 by Hedgehog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewood Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I have mentioned this before about the 5 sec. replay rate for the AAR reply function. I requested possibly having a more granular replay for the player. I have been playing around with FlightControlReplay for FSX and noticed the option on replay granularity. This is the option I'd like to see in Steel Beasts. Let the player decide if the trade off between replay granularity and file size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardekk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) My Wish List: -More UAV implemetation in the game (more variants, UCAVs, and more common use of UAVs). A standard US company in 2020 have atleast 1 Raven hand-held UAV. -T-90M (Armata series before T-90M ??) -MATV & GAZ Tiger -RWS for MBTs -M2A3 & M1A2 SEPv2 (M829A4 too maybe ???) -More modern Helicopters like the KA-52, M-28N , AH64-D\E, MI-35, PARS for to the Tiger UHT and bieng able to modify the armaments the have in the scenario editor (16 Hellfires or maybe 76 Hydras and 4 AIM 92 Stingers, 8 PARS 3 with 4 AIM-92s, 12 Vkhir ) and Flares. -More airstrike options in the support tab (maybe ATGMs, rockets runs or bombing runs and the BRRRRT thing) and AI for aiming the weapons (if that danm Shilka moves 1cm away from the drop zone the JDAM should follow her). -MANPADs Thats a long wish list when I look at it....

If you are doing a rearward passage of lines / crossing a Battle Handover line, your barrel wont be locked in the cradle which is reserved for admin moves only (usually on a truck / rail car). It will certainly be over the rear deck / at 6 O'clock but it will be free to move and engage tgts as required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I returned to edit the post having thought of that, and you'd already picked up my error. Instead can we please just have the ability to set the turret to train to rear (not locked there) for transit?

Sometimes I hit Control Z thinking something is going to happen... It doesn't help with those "instant" undo / recoveries, but you can set the files to be auto-saved so if something major goes wrong you can revert to an earlier copy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
