Wehr 75mm field arty

[winterflaw]

This little field arty unit - does it, like a mortar, fire by itself?

Or does it only fire when you use a barrage?

I think I've seen it fire by itself, but I'm not certain.

it fires itself like an AT gun but for infantry. ive gotten that fucker to ambush squad wipe many bastards.

[winterflaw]

Ahh.

Thanks, kwok.

So no indirect fire, unless you use the special ability.

I'll experiment with it a bit now.

(Addendum. I've just realised - the AI never builds these.)

[kwok]

Yeah, allies have an equivalent in the RAF doctrine. Drop the tetrarch glider and you can build 76mm field guns. They dont have indirect fire though.

It got bigger scatter when people complained about too many squad wipes. Means the axis 75 is much better if you want to kill entire squad.
And it can ambush. So the RAF gun is more a "cheap copy" for same cost.

raf 75mm field gun has much longer and a lot "wider" cone of fire. same as 17p anti tank gun.

but i think raf should have the other 75mm artillery howitzers too. similar with airborne doctrine.
