What makes TTR TTR?

Big misconception.

Heavy artillery was presighted in before battle. It\'d be damn too far dangerous to try to do it mid battle (at least during WW2).

So possibly make it so that the Artillery Spotter / Officer preset a zone before play starts and then (if they want) call down one or two salvoes anytime in game.

However, smaller artillery like Mortars were very common and used alot. How you want to approach it though, is another thing.

Do you want to make it a class? A player actually controls the mortar?

Or do you want to keep it in the Artillery Spotter class? A person has to feed coordinates into the game to call in a mortar strike?


I personally think it should be the second one. A person sitting up in a mortar nest didn\'t get to decide what they fired at. They were still told where to shoot.

This way if there\'s a fuckup (like the mortars start raining in on friendly troops) the blame will solely be on the officer / artillery spotter, like it was in WW2. So it\'d be more of an incentive to get a competant officer in charge of your team.



Ivan, the English had the Hurri D. But neither the english nor the soviets used it in the close support role.

They\'d send the planes out to find and kill tanks. Whether or not the tanks were engaged with friendly forces is a bonus, but not a necessity.
