Re: Artillery in FS?

Hmmmm.  Good point.

Odds are there will be mobile arty, just the Devs aren't gonna tell us for a while.

Well I'm not sure about other maps, but I don't think that the rebels should get artillery on Hoth.  Since there weren't really any specific arty units in the movies, maybe they should only give a team artillery if there is evidence that the team had orbital support in the movies.  I'm not sure how that would affect gameplay tho, it might frustrate the rebel commanders.  Maybe they could get more bonus points if they win than Imperial commanders.  i.e. rebel commander gets 2.5x bonus for a win while Imp commander gets 2x bonus for a win.

I agree, mabye artillery should be left out for Hoth. And I forgot who posted it, but I like the idea of mortar teams. Now if this was during the Clone Wars, there were arty pieces, or pieces that could be used as arty.

Re: Artillery in FS?

Well the mod is moving in to the Clone Wars eventually but that's not for a while, we need to keep our minds on the trilogy for now.

I do agree that the rebels shouldn't have artillery as good as the Imps on Hoth.  They should probably have some kind of artillery but it should be confined to a smaller area and be less powerful than the Imperials.

Re: Artillery in FS?

hmmmm, I think that the less powerful aspect of rebel artillery would be easy to implement, but is there a way, in the BF:2 engine, to limit the range of artillery?

Re: Artillery in FS?

You'd have to ask SCHRifle or another coder.
