Windo von Paene -> So what's the deal with Artillery - FOs (10/14/2000 12:19:00 AM)
Now I thought that I read that having an FO would allow for bombardments to be brought in more quickly. Last night I was the Russkies in 43, and had some artillery and so I picked up a tracked FO, thinking I'd be able to quickly bring down hellfire from my 203 battery. However, once the 203 was not out of contact > [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img] I went to the bombard screen, and found that my time to target was 2.1... Is there a trick to this? What am I missing here...

Some of the tracked Fos dont work right Windo, so always buy infantry FOs and you should get a 1.1 delay on your arty. Also if you want the more mobile FOs just do a few tests and find the ones that work good.

Thanks Drake, that was what I expected. Knew that was too good to be true [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Not as good as the Doomsday weapon but zipping that bad boy around and dropping 203 shells would have been pretty sweet. Guess I'll just have to get a nice transport vehicle to haul the FOs around in.

Since I have always gotten better results from foot FOs than vehicle FOs. I always buy foot FOs. They can ride on a tank to keep up with the armour. I just have to remember do drop them off before the tank goes into action troopie ------------------ Pamwe Chete

Arralen, I know for a fact that niether of the Kraut tracked FO vehicles work properly. I don't know about the kubelwagen FO, but I think it is broken as well.

Well Arralen it was a Genreated battle in the summer of 43, and I believe I only had once choice as the Russian for a Tracked FO. That would be the one to fix. Just checked it. It's called the "carrier FO"
