Part of the reason the 75 LSG is so useful is because Call to Arms is a tactics game-and before the advent of the tank Infantry Gun's were the infantry's chief source of real firepower. It also reflects the rather simplistic rules still governing the meta for artillery in tactics games which are better than most games in Call to Arms-but still very oversimplistic. Any request-for-fire placed beyond the crew's line-of-sight should be handled as a fire mission-rather than just a firing. There should be a substantial lead time while the crew (playing the fire direction center) calculates the mission. Precise shots should only be possible when a Forward Observer is within direct line-of-sight of the target. Parameters for fire missions should be flexible but detailed-allowing for things like harassment barrages with a slow rate of refire, walking barrages, drumfire/fire-for-effect etc and also things like illumination-flare munitions, gun temperature limitations, sound ranging and counter-battery etc should all feature more role in the game than the current very, very simple meta but i'll get off my soapbox now.
good point to be honest in a game on the small scale like call to arms I thick all heavy artillery ,like 10cm and above should be artillery call in from outside the map would make more sense personally.
@@SirJellyBean Tbh the way the games scale on-map artillery is great and very much something the GEM games should continue to do. (Although off-map use should also be featured). Just about no other tactics games does that and it's super cool that these games have such a huge and accurately modeled inventory of heavy guns. (Most of these games of this type are way way way too obsessed with small arms and tanks.) They just need better meta so that they're more interesting and less vulnerable to exploits-abuse under the current rules which reveal very poor knowledge of how artillery support worked by both the developers and player community.
@@capthawkeye8010 yeah very good points again good sir , I think ostfront could be a true masterpiece if they get a few of the problems sorted I hope the developers concentrate on them over other things .
Graviteam tactics model the artillery kinda like you mentioned in your initial post.
It's a bit tricky to make it work sometimes though
I regularly use the 7.5 ISG for all purposes because you can lob stuff behind hills with perfect accuracy. It can easily wipe a whole squads morale with a single shot and reload fast enough to hit them again before they can run away. It's size is it's only downside as it will catch most stray shells
Yeah its a good weapon I have to agree .
Excellent guide! I want to add that Germany probably has the best infantry guns out of all faction. Both leIG 18 and sIG 33 have the advantage of being treated as direct fire weapons thus not subjected to the indirect-fire accuracy, but their very low muzzle velocity still gives them ridiculously high firing arc, resulting in them being able to shoot over terrains with incredible accuracy. This is especially ridiculous with the sIG 33, you can consistently hit tank-sized target while dealing 155mm level of damage. Allied field guns don't get that treatment, and American pack howitzers have a lot of trouble dealing with the hedgerows on the western front.
To top it off, you can go with vehicle mounted versions which are just wicked. A single Sturmpanzer I can easily carry you through the entire conquest with thousands of kill while also being very easy to research. It even has towing capabilities thanks to the Panzer I chassis, you can either give it an ammo trailer or a Nebelwerfer for even more destruction.
Great points fantastic comment, well done good sir .
Sir Jelly Bean, you don't have to go through the trouble of selecting a unit in editor and assiging it to player 0 to check it, all you have to do is press the NUMPAD that corresponds with the player.
For example, the t34 was assigned to player 1... so you press numpad 1 and you switch to its team (so that you can check the damage, same goes for player 0,2,3,4,5,etc,etc.
Hope this helps :)
You sir are the hero I need but don't deserve 😇🙏🙏🙏🙏thankyou.
Been waiting for this, held up playing yesterday so I could learn more. Thank again.
Your welcome dude , thanks for the comment as well..
0:20 3:08 6:08 That sort of "I didn't ask how thick the armor is" energy of a large shell/rocket exploding on a tank.
Haha yeah HE conquers all with enough of it.
Kaaaaarl that kills People!!! I totally love to drive the Sturmtiger but i couldn´t believe my Eyes when i found Karl Gerät in the Skilltree, in Conquest it clears whole Bases :D
Yeah its insane how powerfull it is .
Is it new?? I used to love playing conquest but never saw it. I never unlocked everything so I may have missed it.
@@drengr2759Maybe afaik you need Scorched Earth DLC.
Good guide. If you pres F6 in the editor, you can select weathers and a skybox
Thankyou for the tip good sir.
@@SirJellyBean No problem
Amazing video..keep them coming 👏
Thankyou 😁😊
awesome guide videos i’ve watched them all
Thankyou I appreciate it.
thanks for your effort to making those videos.
i found your name on a reddit post while looking for tipps to call to arms!
Very kind of you dude
Needed this video. In mp games I keep losing my Pak guns to higher range tanks and artillety. Every time I think I'm getting the drop on an enemy tank and move up my artillery piece, it seems to get blown up by bigger artillety pieces. Would love if the range was shown when selecting artillety, having to switch to manual control to gauge it is time consuming
Thankyou good Sir, and yeah the AI is very good at counter battery fire especially with its howitzers.
Great stuff
Thankyou.
This has been a ton of fun. The siege mortar is just insane.
(Mein Gott, nicht der Schwere Belagerungsmörser. Ahhhhhh)
But for practical purposes I love the smaller artillery.
Yeah the 17cm minewerfer is amazing , I saw the real life version in Malta its a beast .
09:29 British army slang since WWII is "brewing up" for what the yanks call cooking later on.
Thanks for the info good Sir.
I didn’t even know there was rocket artillery in the game
Yeah there is a fair bit of it , and its very powerful .
its hilarious how you spend a whole 7 minutes not hitting anything with every gun ever hahahaha this is realisticly the most accurate depiction of german guns in CTA you could hope for :P
Lmao
It always amuses me how poorly the German weapons are adjusted in terms of reload time, accuracy or even V0 and bullet trajectory (such as in COH1) in order to get some balance into the game... 😆
Yeah its a little crazy aah
The sIG 33 should do more damage and both of the Nebelwerfer's should do less lmao
I think the nevels do so much damage because they also get the fuel from the rocket with the explosion .
WTH!? Is there a hotkey for distance measurement in RTS mode?
Not in TPS mode but the cursor is showing the distance!
best thing to do is go on the attack options then ground button on the bottom right , and it tells you distance .
@@SirJellyBean Many thanks, sir! I've spent dozens of hours playing, but I never realized...
@@BACKISBACK86 Your welcome 😁
I just don't know why my artillery sometimes has 350 range and other time 150. The same piece... pls help
It's when different shells are loaded in so the HE shells will be the 350m range and most likely the HEAT or Ap shells will be about 150m hope that helps
@@SirJellyBean That sounds legit. The AI is switching rounds all the time, gotta lock them. Much thank you for the answer
@@jirimakovsky6619 no worries dude and yeah the AI loves to switch rounds and ruin our plans haha
@@SirJellyBean Since you know the game well, can you maybe share if the deployment of "special doctrine" units is capped somehow during the skrimich campaigns?
@@jirimakovsky6619 yeah I believe with each doctrine the special units you get fron the start is capped at 3 everything else on the roster is if you have enough point to buy them
You didn’t take into account that different shell types have different ranges.
O my bad I thought I mentioned it.
O my bad I must of forgotten.
What mod are you using?
Its editor mode
@@SirJellyBean How do i enter that mode?
Isn't it that mode option in the launch menu? 🤔
@@nordicpawsproductions465 it sure is dude
You say the guns aren't accurate, but you shoot before the aim reticle closes on the target. Ofc you will be inaccurate that way
well I've got 1000plus hours so id say i know how the artillery is tbh
Came here looking for information on the 15.5 cm. It was omitted 😢
This was made way before that artillery was available dude .
@@SirJellyBean Ah, the perils of being a new player. Sorry! Anything to note on that gun?
Can u speak Oxford english pls? Its hard to understand u
In my more updated tutorial I sound alot clearer
@@SirJellyBean ah cool
Man, I'd like to watch your stuff, but you really need better mic. I cant listen to this.
My mic is alot better in the newer videos so they might be more to your taste .
the whole idea of 'tactical' artillery is nonsense anyhow. Games need to get off this meta of on map artillery. Make it call for fire that can be purchased.
I agree I prefere off map arty feels alot better with the map sizes
