the last few times i played as commander and tried to drop artillery, it landed like 100 yards to the right of where i placed the artillery targeting icon.
like:
I've been commander a few times and I've never run into that issue. That could cause a huge problem, as I sometimes get lucky enough and my squads will sit just on the outskirt of the arty circle. The thing drops right on them even though they're not in the circle....10 tks....kick/ban....suck.
yes! i noticed that 2 when i was playing fushee the other day! i dunno wtf is up with that.
thank you! i thought i was going crazy because when it happened i was like wtf and asking other people about it and they say they get it to land where they place the targeting thing every time!
i haven't played commander since it started happening so i don't know if its fixed now or what. what the hell could cause that?

I've been killed that way, sitting outside the Artillery Area and getting slapped ... on more than one occasion as well, seems to happen on Mashtuur alot.
I've seen this before. I tried dropping artillery on the carrier :) in Dalian Plant. The arty landed about 300yds northeast of the target site. I wasn't Hillary Clinton pissed. I wasn't Mike Tyson pissed... I WAS OJ SIMPSON PISSED.
My artillery has always hit spot-on (too accurate when i target it badly :laugh: ) except for this one time one "Gulf of Oman" when, as MEC, we had pushed them into the sea, and the USCM only had the carrier left.
Well as commander, i obviously started spamming the deck, but my first 2 volleys, although aimed directly over the Helipads, fell to the right of the carrier, in the water (in fact i would say about as for "off target" as your picture above shows, and to the RIGHT just like you as well) I couldnt for the life of me work out why, but if i targeted the same distance to the LEFT (theoritically missing the carrier) it would hit just where i originally wanted it to.
It's kinda like the shrunk the map in order for it to fit the size of the radar. Some maps the artilery is messed up on.
I went to artilery the enemy carrier.. I should have had a lot of kills.. but instead they got a nice water works display... how nice am I to my enemies
on some maps the artilery does not go spot on, but it drops always the same distance from where you aim, so once you know, then you just have to move your targetting point and drop the artilery then.
however, on the maps where you have this problem, in a certain area the artilery drops perfectly, and a bit further it drops bad.
The map where I know the problem is, and it is a fact, there, try it yourself is gulf of oman, if you are on mec side, and you place artilery on the land, it will mostly drop erfectly where you aim, but if you aim at the US ship, the artilery will drop a bit further, next to the ship.

yeah, definitely happened on oman for sure. happened on another map but can't think of it now (dragon valley maybe?)
when using artillery, make sure your target area is in the CENTER of the map.. meaning.. if you're looking at the map - dont target artillery in the upper left corner.. or something of that sort.. keep your target exactly centered.. it should help. it seems to matter too.. when making supply drops

ok, will have to try that next time. it really shouldn't make a difference though, maybe its a bug.
I really don't think it is a map specific issue, I think it is a general bug in the game.
I have a question. When you click the spot for the arty, does the target come up to the right? Or does the target come up where you clicked and the actually arty fire is off of the mark?
The former happens to me from time to time and then just goes away. . .seems to be a bug. It actually does to me every time I click on the map (seems okay if I am selecting a player). Like say I want to zoom in on a flag, when I click and zoom, it will zoom in way off to the right or left of where I clicked. This is why I think it is a bug and not some programmed thing with the arty themselves.
However, as I said, if you just click and zoom all over the place, or leave the commander screen and come back it seems to go away after a short while. Really, i guess just spaz with the controls and see what happens.

target comes up to where i clicked and then the arty lands off the to the right side somwhere.
