DRONE GUIDED ANTI TANK ARTILLERY

​@@agustinf1372 wouldn't be helpfull without means to get range/targets

[@disturbedwaffle327]

@Agustin F1 I mean, think about this, i feel that there should be a form of enduring confrontation for tanks with the following features 1, a campaign system like in the game Rising Storm 2 vietnam was in multiple battles lead to victory (kinda what WW mode should be like) 2, an FOB/Logistics system where engineering/recovery vehicles have a purpose with AI convoys to supply giving both pvp and pve elements in a battle. This this would allow for artillery to set up and do proper objectives 3, a long-range campaign like map would allow for the introduction of scout planes for players with a large benefit for proper scouting. 4, this would both limit and improve the capability of helicopters in a battle. 5. With the infantry even going on, they could also add an ifv capability of like deploying AI infantry like a stinger team or light AT around tree lines or towns. This is very possible and viable since the mechanics needed to set up a battle like this already exists, and I have been creating a test mission for this concept.

Now, you can see how terrifying a drone can be in real life. Calling artillery from a from a soundless nearly invisible object...😮 Truly scary 😨 😳 😬

[@jimmcneal5292]

That's basically how they fight in Ukraine, and if there will be fight between Israel and Iran, it will happen there too

[@xray235]

This is why on SPGs the entire scope view should have graduated range because, as you elevate the gun closer to 90°, the range should start getting closer again. It would allow you to choose to hit 1000m either at high or low angle of attack. I would love to be able to fire over 2km straight up to hit a target 700m away. The current maximum scope range of 6km doesn't cut it.

[@toysoldi3r14]

i tried this and followed the shell in a replay to see if it comes back down. the shell disappears before it even has enough time to slow down at its peak so it wouldnt work

[@SpawnofChaos]

@@toysoldi3r14 Not always true. The Sturmtiger can fire approximately 1.5km away at full elevation. The shell most definitely came back down. I was even able to destroy my friend with a repeat shot because all he had to do was park in the crater the first shell left 🤣

​@@SpawnofChaossturmtiger is different because it's shooting a rocket not an HE shell Think of it like a bradley shooting it's TOW except you can't guide it at all Or katyusha MLRS's It's entirely different mechanic then shooting tank shells and stuff

@@kajmak64bit76 I've managed some fairly silly shots with my KV-2 as well. I'm not sure if it's dependent on shell speed or something though.

[@beaclaster]

dynamic fov depending on range is beneficial for regular tanks also

[@benji112GAMING]

Something I have learned trying this is that the minimap gives map grid distances, so on Normandy, each square was 300m. then when you use the spot, it is a little easier to get ranged in for the gunner as they have that point of reference

[@DooHicky_]

I thought of the same thing, i had an idea of a tool that took the range on the map and gave distances on the map relative to the distance on one grid square, it would be fast and accurate. Maybe someday someone will do something like it

[@jesuschristyourlordandsavior]

When phly uploads,it makes the snail happy,that first kill felt very rewarding. Good stuff. Wish there were more artillery vehicles instead of just calling artillery in. Would be awesome

[@Jo-un6es]

Bro, this is how Artillery in War Thunder needs to be done. But for lower BRs, you use spotter aircraft like the Piper. And you need to range the targets manually.

[@g.s.863]

Gentlemen, we’ve found a new use for the po-2

[@johnmonter561]

When your arty miss give a correction plus 10 or minus 25 from the range you gave when you flew over the enemy. For side to side correction. Call it out in mils, minus 3 mils or plus 17 mils off the heading. Just remember the heading will be the opposite from what you see. Good luck from 5th Bn 11th Mar Renegade E-4Mike

[@mahogany7712]

are there any public documents/manual regarding indirect fire we can read about online?

[@Rumpelpumpel3]

Phly, please hear my idea out: Try using the BMP-1 as arty, the autoloader makes it rather funny and for some reason the HE on the BMP-1 got one of the slowest muzzle velocities ingame, it can lob over obstacles very good

[@SlipKnot7866]

you should definitely do this at a slightly lower BR. Basically use the lowest possible BR you can get drones with and this might be some gold content. I loved you guys trying to use artillery vehicles as actual artillery! This might even be super awesome in Ground Sim!

[@asordidlobster]

I feel like at the higher tiers they can get more lightly armoured targets, hence a lot more easier to kill with the arty. At the lower BRs, it'll mostly be hits and tracks being damaged honestly.

[@ollilaine6763]

You can also use a ruler that measures the grid squares for this. Make a squad marker and then measure the grid distance and then multiply with the scale that you see on the map and now you got the distance to the marker. If you can zoom the minimap so that 1cm = 1 grid, you don't have to make a special ruler for it.

[@orbitalpotato9940]

The correct formula is: Minimap scale divided by width of one box on minimap times the distance from you to squad ping.

Hey phly, do this again but use the drone this way. Fly it above the enemies towards your arty then get a range from your arty. Have the arty shoot with that range and heading.

[@gamingsasquatch3357]

Drone Tip I learned from Military Channel, Keep in mind when ranging with a drone, you need to know target’s altitude (on a hill or not) vs drones altitude, the difference between the 2 will be subtracted from drones Laser Designator Rangefinder for more accurate shells on target.

[@killfordosh1]

Thought of an idea, light tanks (or vehicles with scout ability) can rangefind for their artillery by using their current rangefinder, but rangefinding for the arty takes a lot longer. The result of this rangefinding is that the full barrage the arty fires comes a lot sooner without the ranging shots and is more accurate

[@michalhruz8734]

What a cool idea to use drone properly haha, this needs to be recorded from others POVs, especially the kill cams ! Anyway great content as usual phly!

[@shizukadoitsukitsune1919]

yall should try this again with the sturmtiger if possible, the reload is longer but if 1 fires and then you relay the range with the correction to the 2nd. you could work around it.

Do this with the bmp-3. It has a 100 mm very slow he round that works perfect as a form of makeshift artillery. It also has an auto loader meaning you can fire a new shot very couple seconds.

[@djandbobstreasurehunt]

Phly, speaking from an artillery man’s view. Remember that recoil on that big banger throws it back on average of 7 meters. Every shot is going to have to be recalculated and if volumetric is true to an artillery round 70% or more of the splash will go forward and up

[@joehan7647]

you really should do this with the Sturmtiger.

[@fastr144]

[@meferswift]

some ideas 1. Maybe if there is , use vehicle with lower velocity rounds 2. Try bookmarking a target, which you shot at a location before hand so you know the range and sure that it hit there beforehand. Then when enemy are in that location, you dial it to that range and direction then boom. 3. Doing alternalting fire is correct call. You could react to correction faster, if one of your shot lands near them, they probably getting tracked which make it easier.

[@random_145]

For me the more accurate way to do this is to use the squad mark with the drone, then for the he lobber just pull out a ruler in real life and measure the distance on the map, the formula is as follows: Distance = map distance on monitor / ratio of cm per square on monitor * the scale ratio For example the map is 500m per square and its 2.8 cm per square on monitor and the distance on map between you and your target on monitor is 7.5 cm. Then it is 7.5 / 2.8 * 500 = 1339.3 m for the actual in game distance. Of course you still have to take elevation in mind and alter it a bit but this method is actually very fast if you have a calculator ready on the side or even setted a program for it.
