I'm just wondering how consistent artillery is going to be in RO2.
In RO1, artillery had a fairly consistent spread, so you could be pretty sure it would only land within a certain distance of the designated area.
Obviously there's a need to balance team killing with this, but it would be good to know how much random variance there will be in artillery spread, and the chances of having an "outlying" shell that falls pretty far from the target.
I think having a slight element of certainty would be good to keep artillery usage interesting, and to stop people from using artillery In greatly unrealistic ways because they know its never going to drift off target.
It would be great to see it contribute to at least some level of use for the tactics of hugging the enemy, though I understand it may not be practical for gameplay purposes.
Also, is there will there be any possibility of artillery "adjustment", so that if a commander notices the artillery is landing slightly off target, then he can call in the radio for it to be adjusted mid barrage? Not sure how realistic this would be, but I've seen it in a few films, so it must have happened
