Re: Arty !! .. .. . .

Arty is actually fully modeled fire. If you record a BR demo, fly really high over the arty and you can see that it follows an arch. As much as it seems to be seeking that bullseye on your head, it's actually just a matter of luck.

For something really new and special... I managed to land arty on my own UAV drone the other night! The uav was up showing lots of red dots and our boys were getting hammered... so ofcource I lobbed in a salvo. I was rather suprised when I heard a big 'ol boom 'n saw burning drone bits fall past my zoomed in camera!

Yeah exactly. Its a real round that is fired from the gun, travels in an arc, and lands on the ground. There's nothing stopping it from hitting a jet flying by, but odds are that won't happen.

I've managed to arty helos in mid-air, and I've been in a Full BH leaving the USMC spawn on Kubra damn, only to die seconds later as the pilot flew right over the firing arty

Re: Arty !! .. .. . .

I wish there was AT arty to deal with those pesky tank whores. Something like this would do wonders on Karkand:



Note: this is a french made discarding Sabot artillery round, designed specifically for piercing the top armor of enemy tanks and APCs.

I am waiting for poe when arty is player controlled... artiliary in its current state is abused. Just as soon as its ready it will be launched over and over again.

That is what almost all SABOT rounds for tanks look like (Some bigger/longer/shorter/thinner..etc). Only issue with using that as an arty round.... You would really have to HIT the tank as their are no 'explosive' effects from this round. Just a BIG DART. And without targeting/lasers etc... chances of hitting the tank would be slim

Actually it's not. If you take a transport chopper you can fly above artillery strikes, it's pretty funny to see the shells spawning below you and falling.

I think that the arty is programmed to hit the first moving target. I've been killed many times with the very first shell when I was trying to move away from ground zero.

Yeah I think there might be more than luck at work

I HATE ARTILLERY!!!
Although it's pretty rewarding when you manage to avoid it all while being in the middle of it. Which is not often.

Yea definitly. What are the odds of being hit consistently with the very first shell? Btw, one thing that I really really f'ing hate about the arty is when it comes raining down without warning. It's like the arty has the silent firing glitch that tanks and APC's do at times. Whenever I hear arty shells whistling through the skies, I know it's time to get out of whatever area I'm in.

You hear it coming? Wow I don't think I've ever heard a strike coming before it hit...

You're wrong here and it's easily proven. As I said, grab a BR file and follow the arty shots high. You'll see for yourself that they are fully modeled.

OR, just hover over an arty emplacement and wait. You'll get blown up.
