BritishL118/AmericanM119

[obtuse root]

Any heavy artillery should be with the cmd.

[junior terrace]

Good thing its classed as a LIGHT gun then 😅

[obtuse root]

I admit, I didn't specify what I meant. But this doesn't really change anything. In the game cmd has a 120mm mortar, which means he should also have a 105mm.
I just don’t see the point or effectiveness in this weapon other than using it via cmd. The game has a mortar on the fob that destroys everything.

[shut nacelle]

You already proposed a very similar idea a few weeks ago...
Spaming it wont make it more likely to get added

[junior terrace]

In game there is also a player controlled 120mm mortar, which means we can have 105mm too by that logic...
Seriously though, why not? UK doesnt use 120mm mortars so a L118 could be unique too them but also at the same time CAN/AUS and US use them also. Could bring more variation to the Battlegroups. Its not like its going to ruin the dynamics of a game.

im going to keep posting about it every few weeks regardless of the opinions of manlets and keyboard warriors because i know the devs will eventually respond. And thats whose opinion really matter on the subject.

[hexed urchin]

you dont see the point. thats fine youve never even tried doing this. You haven't tried much. why do you think your opinion matters on the subject?

[hexed urchin]

also ive been firing field guns all game across the map as artillery right now two at a time with a massive fire rate and decimating enemy pushes from nearly 3000 meters away. I also have the capability to take out a stationary tank at that range. player controlled artillery is already in the game. its just only available with the irregulars as of now, which is whats frustrating, why do only the irregulars have such capability?

[obtuse root]

This is a common platform where everyone can express their opinion - that’s what I did. Why do you think that your opinion can limit mine? It is convenient to say that I did not try to shoot from the ZiS-3 without even knowing it. I shot the ZiS-3 and can only highlight the Mestia map (I don’t know if this can be done now or not, but it could have been used before). Also Yehorivka. That's it, the list ends here.

MLRS is good in the game, but again not on all maps. Its advantage is that it is mobile. As a rule, irregular factions have plenty of vehicles with supplies, which does not make it difficult to supply even stationary guns at the FOB. Any person not even 3 km away will hit a standing tank... This does not make the weapon unique. The most important artillery in the game is stationary mortars - it has already been proven and tested by everyone.

So relax, dude. If you don’t want someone to comment on your post, turn off comments, or don’t write at all.

While the game does not have good area damage for projectiles (except cmd artillery), alas, it is not so effective. The 120 mm is good only because it has unique ammunition. Take a regular one and it will be worse than an 82mm mortar. Worse accuracy, approximately the same affected area. Any building lives longer when fired from a 120mm mortar than when fired from an 82mm mortar. I checked this 2-3 months ago, maybe they changed the HE damage? It's worth checking again.

[hexed urchin]

you are literally just on this post to yap

[hexed urchin]

not interested in yapping with you

[obtuse root]

Not interested, but you answer anyway. I won’t touch you, you’re too vulnerable, as far as I can see.

[hexed urchin]

have fun finding your next argument

[arctic mica]

what is the point of making the same posts over and over again if youre not willing to engage in a discussion with others that disagree with your idea? it doesnt make your ideas sound any better if you keep disregarding everyone that criticizes your suggestions (or suggestion since youve been asking for the same thing several times now)

[hexed urchin]

because that's all they are just criticisms, from people who sit here in the discord and argue regardless of their actual knowledge or experience on the subject like its their full time job. this guy rt came here to tell me that firing zis 3s as indirect artillery is "bad" or "unneccesary" when he's never actually put the method into practice himself. This post is not here for debate and discussion, its supposed to be our direct line of contact to the devs since there is none other, not for petty arguments over whos playstyle is more effective.

[hexed urchin]

you say several times as if you know what that means, i recognize you from the last couple of post i made weeks ago. Here you are back again to argue and yap for nothing like you get paid for it.

save it bro

literally save it

[arctic mica]

dude do you not hear the entitlement oozing from what youre saying right now? The devs dont owe you anything besides developing a game that runs well and plays good, everything else is secondary and your suggestions include that. This isnt the place for suggestions to get shipped straight to the devs and to be added the week after, its an avenue where people can provide feedback and suggestions about Squad and have others criticize or discuss about it, if you dont like that then you can send your suggestions straight to OWI's email

[obtuse root]

I like you, dude. You take something out of thin air and say that it really is, completely ignoring everything else. You want this artillery because you use it, but you absolutely ignore how many people will use it. You don't care about efficiency, you care about fun. Stop thinking only about yourself and ask self-critical questions to your suggestions.
After all, all your experience in artillery, judging by your words, is only the ZiS-3.

[hexed urchin]

literally reread the whole post

[hexed urchin]

OWI does not answer emails

[hexed urchin]

almsot nobody ever wants to use artillery effectively in the way you have to use it

[obtuse root]

He will answer for that here. :)

[hexed urchin]

its not easy finding a decent forward observer who will stick around

[obtuse root]

And how do I have to use artillery, enlighten us.

[arctic mica]

so OWI doesnt answer emails yet you demand some sort of dev response with your suggestions here, lmao good luck man

[hexed urchin]

step 1. set up radio and have 3 or 4 guys

[hexed urchin]

step 2 have perfect position that overlooks any trees and hills blocking trajectory

[hexed urchin]

step 3 hav a forward observer who tells you exactly where your shots are landing

[hexed urchin]

step 4 have a logi runner so you dont run out of shells by the time your bracketed, doubt you know what bracketing means

all of this takes time, effort and patience and an open mind that 99& of squad players DO NOT HAVE

THAT IS THE SOLE REASON THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE OVER POWED

NOT EVERYONES GOOD AT THIS SHIT

[obtuse root]

How difficult. Yes, you also know the terms, I'm far from you. You are really very good at this.

And I just put FOB and HAB, put an 82mm mortar on the edge, open the calculator, get information from other detachments on HAB, infantry or immobilized vehicles and start shooting. And I destroy them. 3 mines in 3-5 seconds, which have a good density better than one shell with 3 km. Well, we do not forget about the supply.

There is so much arrogance that you are such a unique and brilliant artilleryman...

[hexed urchin]

your range is 1200 meters

field gun range is up to 10000 meters

keep talking shit about how your playstyle is so much better

[obtuse root]

Yeah. There are so many maps in the game with 10 km

Stop talking nonsense and spamming.

You're just a pathetic person who thinks everyone should agree with him and add exactly what he needs.

[hexed urchin]

you are a pathetic person who disagrees with everyone and likes arguing for nothing over nothing

[hexed urchin]

epitome of pettiness

[obtuse root]

I agree with the uselessness of these weapons, but not everyone else. Go under the blanket and drink some tea.

[hexed urchin]

bicker more bitter bitch

[hexed urchin]

keep going we can all tell what your here for

[hexed urchin]

i got all fucking night to play your silly ass game

[hexed urchin]

hwo about instead of talking shit you come to my house

[hexed urchin]

come heavy or dont come at all

[obtuse root]

Damn it. You're clearly not right in the head if you're reacting to this so harshly.

[harsh yarrow]

@green needle this guy is just being a real piece of work
