It's similar to how artillery worked in BF1942 and DC.

Thanks for clearing this up, I wondered what the radio was for.
spot with binocs and switch to walki talkie, simple
Sounds just like in BF1942.dont_be_ss wrote:

I haven't POE2 yet, but if it's anything like in BF1942 and I get a decent gunner I should be able to accurately cover the map with shrapnels.

What do you get in to fire the arty? A tank? Where is it located?
You get into a mobile artillery vehicle. They're located at the main bases. It's basically the tank with the huge fucking cannon.
bah!
And there are seperate seats for driver and cannon operator.
thats pretty cool. man i want to fuckin play. grrrrrr
I think the artillery system in PoE 2 is awesome.
Theres typically always somebody camping the artillery requesting targets. I always enjoy finding enemy vehicles or a large group of enemy soldiers & calling in strikes.
EDIT- Fixed some grammar

i got my first arty kill today! yey! there was some really cool dutch (im just guessing but he had 'NL' in his tag) commander who saw that i was hopping into the arty and so he helped me out by sneaking by enemy bases and spotting targets, with a full report on how i should adjust my aim. too bad i forgot his name..
that would be elin grym...(something). im sure you can goole her first name and get the right hitsFFLink13 wrote:

Artillery is devestating, it can even destroy tanks!
I think the spotting system could be tidied up a little. For example, if there is already a target in place, your spot won't appear. Also, if there is no artillery waiting for a shot, your spot wont appear. The game should tell you the reason for a bad spot (like if you ask for supplies when there is no commander, the game says "This support is currently unavailable....).
Also, once or twice I've spotted but the arty icon has been well off of where I aimed.
But other than these minor issues, I think it's brilliant fun.

The arty is awesome. Only negative is that peopl never call for it. I called arty ready a half a zillion times and only go about to strikes. You can use it in Heap mode but it is SO much better to have a sat view. THe one time someone called a legit arty call where there was two tanks i blew both of them away. Takes a bit to get used to admjusting in one mode then shooting in SAT mode but once you got it its unbelievable.
And i tried calling arty for myself but it didnt seem to work.
One good fix would be to have the binocular targetting and just the old way to do it from squad screen. So you can call it from anywhere to a certain area across the map like vanilla.

Blah, screw the spotters. I usually drive it around and blow the crap outta things
Well i did that since no one was spotting.
Spotting gets you kill assists so why not do it.

i understand now, i was playing on rolling thunder and was pretty much owning in the PHZ 2000 mmmm i had 19 kills 1 death some of the shots were just in the normal view, i killed 7 poeople withy one shot :d
can you spot your own arty cuz i was trying and couldn't? has anyone done it?
No one spots artillery I was spamming the spot me message and no one did. So i went commander and fired a shot and looked where it landed in command screen. You got to get the ball point at least right so you see the shot once you zoom in. Then all you got to do is adjust and that enemy spawn point is right in your firing line.
Had like 20-30 kills the other day just shelling an enemy cap point from my base as commander.

That's pretty cool, but HOLY CRAP can you say complex? That is NEVER going to get used.

I was a squad leader and had one of my boys ask me for some arty co-ords, I had no idea what the hell to do lol. I'd just take the thing and blow away tanks from 100m
how's the armour for that thing? Like a normal tank? Or paper thin?
2 shots of a AT-rocket kills it
The max range of the arty is 900m.
