New Firing-Point Artillery Objects Testing Mission

[[DBS]Tx_Tip]

On Kuban Map.

Adjust, test, and explore the new Firing Line Objects.

 

Scenario:
At Kerch
Naval Rifle Guns ToDTs and M272_Three using CMD: Attack Area "Target Ground" shell LSTs to the South of the Chuska Spit.
Naval Rifle Gun M272_Four holds fire using CMD: Force Complete "Low" until LSTs landing at Opasnaya triggers CheckZone. M272_Four then begins to shell beach approach.

 

At Opasnaya
Concrete and Steel pillboxes H630 and a Activated Group of H634s hold fire until LSTs come into range using a CMD: Attack Area "Target Ground Objects".

*Note altitudes for CMD: Attack Areas along with actual line of sight views for the pillboxes at Opasnaya. Note how folds in terrain create defiladed position for one of the LSTs.

Do you know the range of these new weapon systems?

Just eyeballing it after dragging the targeting out from Kerch.

ToDt 26 to 30 km

Make that 22 to 25 miles.

M272 12 to 16 km

Make that 12 to 14 miles.

Pillboxes are apparently in your face short best I can tell.

Hey Tip, thanks for figuring this out. How in places did you get that.

Tried all sorts of setups, but never thought of Attack Areas so far; just thought it wasn't working yet ....

I have been trying it out, ... you'll need to set the attack areas to ground targets, otherwise the guns fail in hitting ships.

BTW anyone found a way to blow them guns up? We might need some ground troops with flame throwers ...

 

Added a tester, SYN_vander mission with added ships, the new guns, and an a20 bomber, heavily loaded (open the bomb doors !!)

The artillery seems indestructible. Maybe try it with a with a Heinkel 111 and the heaviest bomb? (Mission for the Kuban Map)

I am wondering historically speaking, did the german forces install such artillery in the Kuban area?

As the ToDT and Firing Objects are new items they have been tested in functional uses and working logic streams to achieve those uses.

A Search: ToDT with "Topics" checked gets you where you want to be on the destruction of the ToDT and new firing objects.

 

The Search function is your friend. Especially for new Objects use within the ME.

 

Good Luck with your Mission Design.

Then I may tweak a little historical events ?
