In pretty much every game I ever played, once the artillery hits, everything dies, no exception, then I saw somewhere on the internet that someone said that 70% of ww2 deaths were caused by artillery, although I haven't searched for the original source, so don't know if that's legit, but still. Then I saw this, from ST 100-3 , ,,The 155-mm HE shell has a killing radius of 50 meters" and that all seems logical. However..I follow the war in Ukraine since day one and since the Minsk agreement started, more than a year ago, the cities on both sides have been shelled from time to time, mostly by 82mm mortars and 120mm artillery, both howitzers and mortars, but almost no one died, not just civilians, but even the soldiers. How? There's a bunch of photos of destroyed houses, shells on the roads, in the grass,etc, even Grad rockets, all from that period after the start of the peace agreement, there are even a lot of videos showing actual shellings, but still there is maybe 1 death per week or two. In Armenia and Azerbaijan the same thing is happening, officially there is peace, but in reality every day 82mm and occasionally 120mm mortars are used, but even there very little people die. So if artillery is so powerful and kills everyone in the range of some 10 to 20 meters, then why are there almost no deaths, despite every day shellings?
