A lot of people have commented that 1mil or 1 adjustment in elevation, that represents 5m in distance. That's a really good way of knowing how much you're adjusting, however keep in mind this won't really work on maps like Hill 400 where you have a lot of difference in elevation. Also, SMOKE should only be used in coordination with squad leaders and the commander, which is why I didn't really get into it.
Are you sure about the map elevation making some difference? In this game, i dont know if arty shells are actual physical objects with trajectory. I always heard it was 4m but will have to check which multiples is in use
I would also like to point out you don’t even need to be a SL to drop markers; any member can actually use the context ping by bringing up the map, so you can actually make your own marks from other squad members, not just the SL. It doesn’t last, but it’s a little less frustrating if the SL goes down, or is busy on Command net.
I know that you said its More useful to two People to use difrend cannons. But i with another guy. Today playd only one arty and we were shooting like a roun ewery 3 to 4 second and absolutly distroying the enemy.
Pro Tip - When you create a squad for arty, lay an OP in the path of where you think a sniper will attack from. That way when the OP lights up you have some warning to jump off and defend yourself.
One of the possible changes to the game that's being discussed here and there is adding a dedicated Engineer squad that's supposed to focus on building resource nodes and garrisons. That's supposed to help the Officers not have to worry about the logistical side of things and help the Commander not need to spend 80% of his time begging his team to build garrisons and resource nodes.
Sounds like post scriptum 🤔. Tbh i like it that i have an engineer in the squad to build stuff nodes and defensivs. He could also be a pioneer to help the AT guy in dealing with tanks
90 kills with my first arty experience after watching this video. Thanks to the commander's recon and pin marker of SL. Also, appreciate engineers for ammunition nodes. I really start to love this game as everyone can cooperate.
@@EndZiiel You think military cares about how much skill it takes for a weapon to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible in war beyond the user? Lmfao get out of here and play something else that isn't a war game. x'D
@@dollazNzentz need SL and several riflemen to defend against roaming recon. Maybe rocket launchers to? A full squad that is ID'd in main menu for selection such as ART ans Recon do now. I back the idea of a singular radio per squad to help the frenzy of the squad's combat engagements.
There should be an Artilleryman class and a Forward Observer class. Arty man works the guns, FO has access to a specific detailed map, and can get exact grid coordinates via binoculars and the map, and can ping spots with grid coordinates for artillery fire.
Thank God for people who can play this game properly and make it such a realistic simulation for me to run 500m in the wrong direction before running headlong into a machine gun team 😢7
Reminds me of Bad Company, jumping out of the arty reset the reload. They never patched it out. Arty spam was crazy. Thank you for showing the locked squad map.
After nearly 2 years of playing this game I’m just about to start arty with this guide lol. One thing I’ve found personally is that smoke arty has been much more useful in taking a point than explosive. Just my observations. Sometimes you really just need to push than bombing them and the cover is invaluable. Wish more arty users would use smoke more
I smoke the enemy now and then. Nothing is more confusing than suddenly not being able to see. Most will bunker down in a trench expecting enemies to come from your position. Then the bombs hit
I used to serve in artillery. For me it was the best job in the army. Just the sheer force of the gun made my day. First times when you feel the shock wave push your organs around feels uncomfortable but you get used to it. I'm thinking of buying this game just for the artillery, few games these days let you play as artillery
Supposedly, they are going to add mortar teams to replace the artillery. Or something like that. Currently, the artillery loop is: sit at base using arty until recon team comes over to camp you. Then it's basically fighting and eliminating that recon team and their spawn (good luck finding it). Repeat until round ends. It's a very boring thing for both the recon team and the artillery user, but there's basically no other counter to artillery at all. Mortar teams should ideally make it so the team firing on you isn't the entire way across the map and can therefor be countered by something that isn't camping. So take that as you will to inform your purchasing decision.
Man I love artillery, your video helped me immensely now I’ve got all the commanders in officers relaying marks in targets to me racking up hundreds of kills in a game. fantastic
Very cool video. I have been taking the time to try to play every role in the game. I feel like the more you know, the more you understand your impact on other players and it makes you a better team mate. I know there have been games where good artillery would have been a huge help.
I remember when we did a a barrage of ten shots and my notification was you killed a friendly and I knew we messed up bc 10 shots =a lot of friendly and I heard on the comms “stop firing”
This is why the devs should remove teamkill penalties when using arty. When you fire shells at a distance of between 1km and 2km with a 20 second delay until the shells hit, there is no way to actually know if friendlies will advance and you can never rely on them listening to warnings on the communication. It's stupid that you can take all of the right safety steps, communicate perfectly, call every barrage and some moron will still ignore your callouts and walk straight into the barrage, get his squad wiped, then the game punishes YOU by giving him an option to curse you with a permanent spawn delay of 50 extra seconds, or just straight up get you kicked instantly. Or, if hes a real asshat, he will spawn at hq and tk you for the rest of the game, refusing to see reason and ruining any chances of having fun for the match.
Played a game of arty yesterday and had an absolute blast. Was easily one of the most fun things I've done. I only got 35 kills with it but destroying tanks and enemy advances just felt so satisfying. And I even got a headshot with one of my shells😂Watching this video to hopefully make me a little better
I was on my first arty run on Purpl Heart tonight.. and it went well, I had lots of Recon guys using flares to mark enemies, and my Arty fire dismantled enemy defenses allowing my team to steamroll. I even dropped two tanks. Buy I got to greedy and was lying fire on the enemy hq and killed two of my own squads who pushed up much faster than I thought. I was then kicked from the game lmao. But, lesson learns
Thanks for the video chief, a lot of good information there :) One bit of feedback though, I was hoping you'd cover the use of smoke rounds a bit more than just mentioning they exist. Would have been interesting to contrast how the arty smoke rounds differ from regular smoke grenades, any tips on deploying them, or when would be best to use them. Keep up the great work
Thanks man, I've pinned a comment on this. Using smoke is tricky. In the video you see us drop smoke on a tank, forcing it to relocate. However, this might be a bad thing if you have a squad that knows where it is and is closing in on it. Smoke can be a blessing or a curse, and I've actually been thinking about making a video entirely devoted to it for some time now.
Never saw much use of smoke but Few games back this literally won the game. Every time our push was becoming stuck arty threw a barrage of smoke allowing us to push to the next point. Was awesome.
We got a good tactic. We always play as 3. the leader is coming to the front lines and hides in a good spot from which he can mark enemy players very accurate. He then gives, after he informed the other SLs, the fireing command. We got a lot of kills. But REMEMBER only the two guys on the gun get the kills.
@@SparKOps yes I think so. The gunner and loader got the same amount of kills after the round was finished. Me as the „spotter“ didn’t get any…thats the only shit thing about this tactic. But you could switch through positions…
I played artillery once. Another artillery guy blamed me for friendly kills which he did and everyone started having a go at me and wouldn’t let me join their squad. *sigh* it was a sad day
I mean I kinda love you for being so informative and taking the role of a teacher, and I kinda hate you because there now exists an ARMY of crack-shot Artty fools out in these streets... Great Content! +1 Sub!
I always wonder when Artillery guys get frustrated for getting camped by recon squad whining in chat "no attack uncap before last sector". Like if you are a capable artillery guy you are a danger to the enemy team of course you get ordered dead. If the commander of the opposing team has any sort of skill he or she should always order Artillery disrupted. If that annoys the artillery guy he should be protected by their team.
I love to shoot artillery, but it was too long before I realized that the clink was confirmation of a kill. Immediately after firing, you hear something similar, so you just have to wait those 25 seconds.
Hi I don't get it. Frequently I heard the ding sound but it shows no kills. How come? Also I have once fire a bazooka and heard a ding sound (headshot??) But again it shows no kill.
For newer players: it's a misconception that nodes still generate more resources further from HQ. It was the case before, but this mechanic is no longer part of the game. Currently, each node generates a flat +10 resources per minute for its respective type (Manpower, Munitions, or Fuel), no matter where it is built within friendly territory.
Arty can kill tanks that say stationary for too long as well. Plenty of times as a recon I have spotted a tank staying still and no one was able to take it out just to hop on the arty and bombard them for an easy vehicle kill.
@@monoespacial I do it on tanks that the team is already having problems with and can't take it themselves. Think Purple heart lane when tanks sit back far on the road nuking your teams tanks. Or shoot at them to completely ruin their day with suppression for a tank to move on its flank. It may not be the best way to directly kill a tank but its very valuable to know when to do it. As for getting a direct hit its pretty easy if you have someone marking it with that app you use. Its pinpoint accurate.
A total miss by artillery will get any tank crew's attention. A hit is desired, but getting a tank to move to a more vulnerable position is welcomed too...it should be. Never stop using Artillery if you have the munitions...but stop if Commander asks. Get on the good side by communicating then build trust each and every time you play.
One of the more "famous" tactics is for a tank to back into the "out of area combat zone" so a satchel charge can't be placed from the rear. You see this in Hurtgen Forest north or south borders. Tag on protection weapons of infantry and they sit the whole game mid map.
If you're looking at this in 2022, 1. Nodes generate the same no matter where they are - so get a truck and build them in the 3rd column OR go support - drop at spawn - redeploy as enginer - drop a MANPOWER node (it will decrease your support supply box timer) - rinse and repeat for 3 total nodes. 2. You can go support (+ 1 engineer or SL if you're a 2-man squad) as support can now see recon planes. SL is still better still. 3. As SL, drop a OP near to spot enemy recon if they try to sneak up on you. drop it off to the side so you also have a safe spot to spawn in from to deal with them. 4. If you're being harrassed by enemy recon - just go do something else for a few minutes. Then get 1 person to fire the arty - while you prone to spot where they are coming from. If you kill recon+kill their OP you should have another 10 minutes of peace at least. 5. If you rely on pinging - you can set the ping duration in the options menu.
everytime i go artillery, i get either zeroed by the enemy artillery somehow or an enemy travels the whole map to come kill me while im using the gun & then makes it not worth continuing.
My experience with artillery=sitting waiting for marks to be put on the map, listening or reading chat to see where my team is about to push and their location, carefully shooting my rounds, getting 12 kills and destroy 3 structures with 3 shots and then get yelled at by worthless squad leaders who are just sitting back in the HQ section doing nothing like REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE you're wasting munitions! GET OFFF. Yeah dingus, we have little supplies because we're about to lose due to non existent teamwork and leadership and being steamrolled through the entire map. I just cleared out a strongpoint it still can't be taken. It's not like I was sitting there blasting away as fast as I could, I was taking around a minute between shots to be sure I would land on target.
PRO tip, if you don’t want to use your calculator app (I’ve never actually heard of it till now) just know there is 24 numbers between each 100m distance. Example: Say 500m is 883° this means 859° is 600m so, 24 divided by 6=4 which means, every 6 clicks up or down, you have moved the distance by 25m. If you want to go 15m increments, then if 6° up or down is 25m, half of that (3°) is 12.5m so I’ll send one around 3° more or less, and reload and then fire a round a click up or down depending. It’s not dead accurate but you get pretty darn close and I have a 124 kill game using artillery and I think I only got like 3 team kills or less.
@@davon6704 lol this is like simple math tho.. literally breaking things down into quarters. And since you now know there is 24 numbers between each 100m that should be easy enough to break in half for your 50m or quarters for your 25m ranges.
I send 2 of my squad members to arty duty... they did not dissapoint me... 93 kills he had🤣 haha! Our squad together with 2 other squads and the commander held off the enemy en turned the round completely around. From almost certain defeat (hq sector 75% captured. To a full winn. I love this game. Especially when i play with nice people online.😁
Quick tip: have a guy drive around for you pinging enemy spots as commander don’t always communicate well with artillery was a nightmare trying to get his attention and reminding him to tag the tanks for strike he kept forgetting I was available
@@monoespacial yeah definitely if they used right tags I was kicked because one leader kept marking an enemy spot but was actually sending his unit to that position killed his unit 3 times coz he didn’t use correct markers and I had 86 kills and 3 vehicle kills lost my progress because of that
Before worn for whoever wants to be artillery every single game you play there will always be a single person or a squad that will come from the other side of the map to spawn camp you at the artillery positions
What's the spread on the artillery? Like if you were to fire multiple shells at the exact same spot, how close or far away would they land between each other and the exact point your aiming at?
Fired at an enemy garrison spawn (?) after seeing it on the map, then I fired another shell, and then I checked the map again only to see that there were three friendlies at it and it was gone :c
thank you for your nice guide. nice as usual. if i set up an "call artillery" mark on the map as a squadlead, is it possible to see that for every other sqaud or just for mine ? thank you in advance!
Mouse-over any callouts you place and you'll see who can see them, or hold-click the mouse wheel to bring a wheel of markings where you can see that as well.
I am making a new artty app (includes angles to aim while in the F2 position) so I have been reading up a lot on it. You said to move the shots 1 degree to carpet (which I have been doing) but calculations shown that 5mm is about 20 meters. If a blast radius is about 50 (including injury only zones) would it be more effecient to move it by 5mm than 1mm? Is the RNG high enough that you want tighter grouped shots?
Blast radius and artillery accuracy have changed since I made this video. You should ask around in the official discord or on discord.gg/NPA because people have probable re-done the calculations. Also the russian artillery has completely different degree adjustments which have already been done in the latest version of the HLL Artillery app in the google play store. Given the new changes to accuracy, I'm not sure what kind of adjustment would be most efficient.
You have to keep in mind the game was released for free on PS5 less than a month ago. There's going to be a whole lot of people playing who aren't really into this type of game at all. So yes it's going to be normal for commanders and officers not to be talking for a while. Over the next few months the player base should be reduced to only those that actually care about the game and therefore are more likely to talk.
I kinda wish that they didn't use the 105mm Arty as the artillery pieces in Hell Let Loose. They should just use 60mm mortars, maybe even 81mm mortars if they really want. They wouldn't need to change anything damage wise, it's really just an aesthetic and historical idea.
Ever since the modern artillery was invented in just before ww1 it has been the deadliest part in a war. Now I might just be biased to artillery since I was trained for it but this game to my knowledge is the only one which lets you play artillery
Doing pretty good with arty after watching, even got my first tank kill. I HATE the fact I can be sniped off the gun... Like it's in friendly territory way behind the lines, snipers aren't Navy Seals or paratroopers who are going deep behind lines. Sniper teams during the war stayed close to infantry units providing support, even in today's military a sniper provides overwatch for infantry units.
Great guide, I just started playing HLL, but artillery in this game is op. Its a trend I notice that artillery just needs to hit the final stronghold for 20min, then stop and let your team cap it. Every time I bring this up, my team says their recon needs to go destroy it, but no one ever does. Which brings me to the point that if your team doesnt work together your basically screwed, because the other team rains artillery nonstop the whole game. I have fun in the game when im not randomly being killed by artillery, the artillery spam happens in every game and it needs a 10min cooldown or something, shit.
Any strat is op when your team doesn't coordinate. If you want to fix this, take out arty yourself. You are a cog in a machine, be one. If you can't take out artillery, then tough. Tanks are OP too, if you're incompetent.
A lot of people have commented that 1mil or 1 adjustment in elevation, that represents 5m in distance. That's a really good way of knowing how much you're adjusting, however keep in mind this won't really work on maps like Hill 400 where you have a lot of difference in elevation. Also, SMOKE should only be used in coordination with squad leaders and the commander, which is why I didn't really get into it.
Are you sure about the map elevation making some difference?
In this game, i dont know if arty shells are actual physical objects with trajectory.
I always heard it was 4m but will have to check which multiples is in use
@@gs.daniel87 Pretty sure. I've pinged places right next to each other and gotten way different distances.

Would make it easier for sure, I have to lock my squad as is so I don't end up with a full fire team waiting for OPs and orders.
Not necessary. You can just go into a 2 man locked squad and set your squad type.

There should be an Artilleryman class and a Forward Observer class. Arty man works the guns, FO has access to a specific detailed map, and can get exact grid coordinates via binoculars and the map, and can ping spots with grid coordinates for artillery fire.

Currently, each node generates a flat +10 resources per minute for its respective type (Manpower, Munitions, or Fuel), no matter where it is built within friendly territory.
Arty can kill tanks that say stationary for too long as well. Plenty of times as a recon I have spotted a tank staying still and no one was able to take it out just to hop on the arty and bombard them for an easy vehicle kill.
I wouldn't recommend doing this. You need to get really lucky with a direct hit, so it might take 1 shot or 10 or 15.
@@monoespacial I do it on tanks that the team is already having problems with and can't take it themselves. Think Purple heart lane when tanks sit back far on the road nuking your teams tanks. Or shoot at them to completely ruin their day with suppression for a tank to move on its flank. It may not be the best way to directly kill a tank but its very valuable to know when to do it. As for getting a direct hit its pretty easy if you have someone marking it with that app you use. Its pinpoint accurate.
Not recommended, smoke them out and have antitank push.
A total miss by artillery will get any tank crew's attention. A hit is desired, but getting a tank to move to a more vulnerable position is welcomed too...it should be. Never stop using Artillery if you have the munitions...but stop if Commander asks. Get on the good side by communicating then build trust each and every time you play.
One of the more "famous" tactics is for a tank to back into the "out of area combat zone" so a satchel charge can't be placed from the rear. You see this in Hurtgen Forest north or south borders. Tag on protection weapons of infantry and they sit the whole game mid map.
199 kills and got the 100 - 0 achivement, had to build a fortress around the arty pit to defend but had it covered.
ahahahah gj
Keep the content coming bud. There's no shortage of info to cover. As usual, excellent breakdown and information 💪💪
Every time I use artillery I immediately blow up a team mate by accident and then get killed by him in return
This is a great guide! Awesome work! I can’t wait to try it out.
If you're looking at this in 2022,
1. Nodes generate the same no matter where they are - so get a truck and build them in the 3rd column OR go support - drop at spawn - redeploy as enginer - drop a MANPOWER node (it will decrease your support supply box timer) - rinse and repeat for 3 total nodes.
2. You can go support (+ 1 engineer or SL if you're a 2-man squad) as support can now see recon planes. SL is still better still.
3. As SL, drop a OP near to spot enemy recon if they try to sneak up on you. drop it off to the side so you also have a safe spot to spawn in from to deal with them.
4. If you're being harrassed by enemy recon - just go do something else for a few minutes. Then get 1 person to fire the arty - while you prone to spot where they are coming from. If you kill recon+kill their OP you should have another 10 minutes of peace at least.
5. If you rely on pinging - you can set the ping duration in the options menu.
Thanks for this.
everytime i go artillery, i get either zeroed by the enemy artillery somehow or an enemy travels the whole map to come kill me while im using the gun & then makes it not worth continuing.
raked over 150 score on arty alone. it's amazing what you can do if everyone on the team worked together
One thing to watch when your doing artillery is to watch out for the recon squad, me and my buddy usually go after the artillery people.
A love to hear the sound of the ping when i do headshots with arty
Great vid
Very very good guide. Thanks bro.
Thanks dude!! Just racked up a 62 killstreak in my second game
My experience with artillery=sitting waiting for marks to be put on the map, listening or reading chat to see where my team is about to push and their location, carefully shooting my rounds, getting 12 kills and destroy 3 structures with 3 shots and then get yelled at by worthless squad leaders who are just sitting back in the HQ section doing nothing like REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE you're wasting munitions! GET OFFF. Yeah dingus, we have little supplies because we're about to lose due to non existent teamwork and leadership and being steamrolled through the entire map. I just cleared out a strongpoint it still can't be taken. It's not like I was sitting there blasting away as fast as I could, I was taking around a minute between shots to be sure I would land on target.
Love the video
Good guide. I already tried to man art on empty servers but you showed me the way to do it as I play only public. App downloaded !
PRO tip, if you don’t want to use your calculator app (I’ve never actually heard of it till now) just know there is 24 numbers between each 100m distance.
Example:
Say 500m is 883° this means 859° is 600m so, 24 divided by 6=4 which means, every 6 clicks up or down, you have moved the distance by 25m. If you want to go 15m increments, then if 6° up or down is 25m, half of that (3°) is 12.5m so I’ll send one around 3° more or less, and reload and then fire a round a click up or down depending. It’s not dead accurate but you get pretty darn close and I have a 124 kill game using artillery and I think I only got like 3 team kills or less.
Yeah I’m not doing math I’ll stick to my arty calculator
@@davon6704 lol this is like simple math tho.. literally breaking things down into quarters. And since you now know there is 24 numbers between each 100m that should be easy enough to break in half for your 50m or quarters for your 25m ranges.
You are awesome thank you for all the videos
Glad you enjoy them!
2:21 he was perfectly sinked up with the other guy lmao
The worst thing about this game is nobody listening to your instructions.
Its because people want the glory to be the war hero.
"Duffy whats the hurry, you lookin to get dropped?"
Become an artillery god until that one enemy camps behinds you shooting you. I did this behind artillery one time. Picking them off.
Will see how I do tonight using arty. My teams were demolished yesterday
I send 2 of my squad members to arty duty... they did not dissapoint me... 93 kills he had🤣 haha! Our squad together with 2 other squads and the commander held off the enemy en turned the round completely around. From almost certain defeat (hq sector 75% captured. To a full winn. I love this game. Especially when i play with nice people online.😁
Great guide man
Quick tip: have a guy drive around for you pinging enemy spots as commander don’t always communicate well with artillery was a nightmare trying to get his attention and reminding him to tag the tanks for strike he kept forgetting I was available
I think it's more useful to just have squad leaders mark infantry around the map and stuff.
@@monoespacial yeah definitely if they used right tags I was kicked because one leader kept marking an enemy spot but was actually sending his unit to that position killed his unit 3 times coz he didn’t use correct markers and I had 86 kills and 3 vehicle kills lost my progress because of that
*Company of Heroes music intensified*
I just got a duo today, my mate bought the game. We are going to level half of europe out of sheer stupidity.
Before worn for whoever wants to be artillery every single game you play there will always be a single person or a squad that will come from the other side of the map to spawn camp you at the artillery positions
Playing arty is the most fun i have ever had
Thank you for this tutorial I have a hard time reading through this manual
me: im gonna be arty god after this vid
enemy recon: hold my beer
FFWD 1:10 for content
The way the old engineer builds!!
imma try this tonight!
What's the spread on the artillery? Like if you were to fire multiple shells at the exact same spot, how close or far away would they land between each other and the exact point your aiming at?
Now I know why there's so many 1 man locked squads lmao
I always put a mark on the map, aim at it with the line, then set the range and drop 5 rounds.
Very interesting and informative but I'll leave arty to the artillery guys.
Thanks Man!
Fired at an enemy garrison spawn (?) after seeing it on the map, then I fired another shell, and then I checked the map again only to see that there were three friendlies at it and it was gone :c
Nodes are now best built at the very start of your territory to not loose them, the resources gained will be the same.
All maps have arty. It is just the fact that, in Offensive mode, the attackers have no arty...
One of my first games I ever played I was tasked by the command to tk a shitty arty squad that was wasting all our munitions. Good times.
thank you for your nice guide. nice as usual.
if i set up an "call artillery" mark on the map as a squadlead, is it possible to see that for every other sqaud or just for mine ? thank you in advance!
Mouse-over any callouts you place and you'll see who can see them, or hold-click the mouse wheel to bring a wheel of markings where you can see that as well.
@@monoespacial thanks Mate!
If you don't have a team, how do you get into one? I tried out Post-Scriptum and I felt totally isolated.
Just join any random squad there is no worries there!
There’s lots of clans you can join, depends on your time zone. Most servers welcome new players and will help you out.
Helpful thanx
I am making a new artty app (includes angles to aim while in the F2 position) so I have been reading up a lot on it. You said to move the shots 1 degree to carpet (which I have been doing) but calculations shown that 5mm is about 20 meters. If a blast radius is about 50 (including injury only zones) would it be more effecient to move it by 5mm than 1mm? Is the RNG high enough that you want tighter grouped shots?
Blast radius and artillery accuracy have changed since I made this video. You should ask around in the official discord or on discord.gg/NPA because people have probable re-done the calculations. Also the russian artillery has completely different degree adjustments which have already been done in the latest version of the HLL Artillery app in the google play store.
Given the new changes to accuracy, I'm not sure what kind of adjustment would be most efficient.
I play on ps5. Is it normal that commanders and officers don't give any order? Even spotters and snipers don't work together
You have to keep in mind the game was released for free on PS5 less than a month ago. There's going to be a whole lot of people playing who aren't really into this type of game at all.
So yes it's going to be normal for commanders and officers not to be talking for a while. Over the next few months the player base should be reduced to only those that actually care about the game and therefore are more likely to talk.
@@monoespacial I was happy yesterday I spotted for a sniper and we did pretty good. He didn't talk but heard what I was saying and marking
I kinda wish that they didn't use the 105mm Arty as the artillery pieces in Hell Let Loose. They should just use 60mm mortars, maybe even 81mm mortars if they really want. They wouldn't need to change anything damage wise, it's really just an aesthetic and historical idea.
Ever since the modern artillery was invented in just before ww1 it has been the deadliest part in a war. Now I might just be biased to artillery since I was trained for it but this game to my knowledge is the only one which lets you play artillery
Haha love the battlefield music
I just went 49-1 on my first game on artillery
excelent tutorial mono! 10/10 monkeys
Doing pretty good with arty after watching, even got my first tank kill. I HATE the fact I can be sniped off the gun... Like it's in friendly territory way behind the lines, snipers aren't Navy Seals or paratroopers who are going deep behind lines. Sniper teams during the war stayed close to infantry units providing support, even in today's military a sniper provides overwatch for infantry units.
Adjusting the traverse makes the gun more inaccurate. If you can keep it at 0, do it.
so i have the calculator open, all i do is check for enemy marks, input the meter distance, put my arty gun on the spot and elevate it, then fire?
Pretty much. The real difficulty isn't landing your shots. It's knowing WHERE to shoot.
@@monoespacial thanks, by the way awesome tutorial and your channel is underrated
@@brodmeisterman thanks dude, I appreciate that
@@monoespacial only speaking the truth man, no need for thanks
Great guide, I just started playing HLL, but artillery in this game is op. Its a trend I notice that artillery just needs to hit the final stronghold for 20min, then stop and let your team cap it.
Every time I bring this up, my team says their recon needs to go destroy it, but no one ever does.
Which brings me to the point that if your team doesnt work together your basically screwed, because the other team rains artillery nonstop the whole game. I have fun in the game when im not randomly being killed by artillery, the artillery spam happens in every game and it needs a 10min cooldown or something, shit.
Any strat is op when your team doesn't coordinate. If you want to fix this, take out arty yourself. You are a cog in a machine, be one. If you can't take out artillery, then tough. Tanks are OP too, if you're incompetent.
Great guide - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
