Artillery Spotter Radius with ME. Does it Work? How?

[[DBS]Tx_Tip]

As the topic states.

 

Looks like this would/could be used in conjunction with the CMD Attack MCU in setting up accurate barrages.

 

However...

I am also wanting to get more bang for the buck with regards to Flak pieces in MP. And wondering if this could be used in that way.

Hi Tx_Tip,

 

The spotter radius specifies the size (in meters) of the "radar" circle around the object. You can see the radar circle when you view the map. You turn it on and off in-game with the key mapping for "Show/hide instrument panel, navigation and map markers". I think that server admins can turn this on or off, but I may be wrong.

 

I don't think you can use the radius with MCUs. Perhaps it has an some effect on artillery behavior but I doubt it. More testing needed.

 

There appears to be a default 10,000 m radar circle around planes, which do not have a spotter radius option.

I see, it's for the Icon visibility range. 

Thanks for the explanation Jim.
