Coming Soon! From the CoC True Artillery
Hi all we just thought you would like to
see a taster of the CoC's latest addon. As you know we have been working
hard on the MLRS Project with UK Forces but what you may not know is that
that is just the tip of the iceberg.
In conjunction with some of OFP's top
MODs We have developed a Unified Artillery (UA) system.
For some time the one great thing people
thought was missing from OFP was real indirect fire weapons. Considered by
many as the queen of the battlefield (Chess allusion). It is why the
coalition forces in the second Gulf War were happy to leave large enemy
armies "Fixed" in position and go round them. Once the enemy
ability to move was interdicted by air power, the enemy can either give up
or die; as the vast power of artillery destroys them piecemeal.
The other major use of artillery is
battlefield preparation. If you know where the enemy is going to be, as was in
the case in the first Gulf War, then your simple solution is to fire on
them from long range to soften them up before your attack.
Those are just two examples of how the CoC
UA can and is (by the beta test team and developers) being used.

Modrava

2) M109 Platoon takes aim at Loukov (range:
9500m, up 100m)
3) M109 by lighthouse, southeastern Nogova
4) Their target: the mountaintop castle in
northeastern Nogova (range: 8500m, up 400m)
5) spot round hits its mark
6) Firing for effect
7) SEB M252 81mm Mortar in action
8) The target: the fountain in Loukov
9) The view from above Loukov
10) Radar feature: Black dots indicate the
current position of mortar shells inbound from the SSW
11) Loukov suffers under the barrage

12) A section of mortars is in defilade
2500m to the east of Trosky and 200m below. This fire mission is without
precision error (=dispersion), to demonstrate UA's true accuracy. Note
that all six mortar shells have the same vector.
13) So before we apply dispersion, we are
hitting about 3m long of the target
14) The UKF MLRS in action
