Graviteam Tactics: Off-Map Artillery- The COMPLETE 2022 TUTORIAL

[@kaczordonald6902]

Oh boy he's back!!!

[@richie5um]

Oh yes. Pls, more!!

[@bigthinkumdinkum6558]

I quit playing this game for years ONLY because I could not figure out how to call in artillery. Wish I had seen your video a year ago, liking and subscribing just to show my appreciation. You are the real MVP

[@jeffjensen8]

Holy crap it's been a hot minute, man! Saw some Graviteam updates over the last couple months and have been wanting to dip my toe back in. Thanks for the video!

[@TheWarSimmer]

np. The game is in a great place right now. Hop back in to it and you'll enjoy it.

[@jeffjensen8]

@@TheWarSimmer Hope you've been well, and hope that you come back for more videos!

[@jeffh7483]

Damn near impossible to understand this on your own. I'd like to buy you a beer for all this good work you do!

[@jebnagel]

Very happy to see you making content again. And what content! Great tutorial and can't wait for more....

[@BrorealeK]

I feel like the artillery system is the best it's ever been. Thanks for the tutorial buddy, it's genuinely super helpful!

[@TheWarSimmer]

Np and I agree. There is some information that is slightly inaccurate about being able to decide if arty is on-call or not. I'll be uploading a play through of the Pivot Point DLC in a day or two and it should cover some of it.

[@SolidWorksCAD3D]

Great to see you back! And thanks a lot for this new tutorial!

[@vulpesinculta3593]

Thank you very much, sir. Some of this stuff would take me a really long time to figure out on my own.

[@lorgius]

What a great tutorial. It helped a lot, especially on force composition screen, which is not clear and easy to read and manage, until someone get enough experience with it. Mechanics are presented well and tight. Waiting for some more stuff. I'm discovering different mechanics of this great game and it is always helpful to hear some experienced person advices. Great work.

[@thestoicsteve]

Thanks for the great tutorial. You covered a lot, and I learned a lot. Will be very useful as I am getting back into this amazing simulation game.

Nice! Me alegra verte de nuevo por aquí :)

[@TheWarSimmer]

Glad to be back. Looks like your channel is growing!

[@saschavykos2159]

Thank you man. Finally ! Would also love to see new visa from campaigns/Battles, cause you are doing it simply the best out there for me !

[@Katdebre1]

Glad to have you back

[@tomsamford2605]

Great video, and thank you for taking the time to show us how to play this wonderful game. Also, could you please tell me how to move the lower most upper tool bar to the left side tool bar? Thank you, and please continue to provide us with more tutorials.

[@TheWarSimmer]

Np. I'm actually not sure how to make the toolbar move. It may have something to do with the resolution and UI scaling in the settings, but I'm not sure.

[@randomdude8877]

Very good tutorial, thank you a lot.

[@pawelsawicki1750]

Great tutorial, bad choice of scenario, though - too dark. I enjoy to see artillery explosions :)

[@masonc9786]

deeply appreciated

[@rawnukles]

I've played a lot of this game but I always used the artillery company commander as the spotter and put the platoon commanders with their arty squads . But I can't give direct orders with the company commanders line of sight that way. Using the platoon commanders spotters is just something I never thought of doing. Thanks

[@HEF_A_BUM]

welcome back, hopefully more videos to come

[@CybershamanX]

So, just to be clear, off-map arty is off the Operation Phase map entirely? The guns aren't in other battlegroups further back on the map? Hey! GREAT VIDEO! Thank you SO MUCH! I'm so glad that a small handful of great Mius Front gamers are doing new videos on this interesting and alluring battle simulator. I can understand why some people don't like it at first, because they are expecting it to be like your typical RTS, which it is most definitely NOT. 😉 I can't say I blame them...too much. 😜 If they just took a step back, they'd realize what it is they are working with and go on to discover the rich and engaging experience it provides. Thanks again! SUBBED! 😎🤘☮

[@arkadiy9321]

The way it works today - yes, if a gun is available via the spotter’s off-map Arty functionality, it’s not “physically “ on the operational map at the moment. What changed about 9 month ago (just around when this video came out?) is that some on-map guns can be moved into reserve and used via the off-map functionality.

[@TheDivingboy]

you're still alive!! wb :p

[@guypmiller]

excellent, thank you

[@countsessine99]

Welcome back 🤠

[@TheWarSimmer]

Appreciated

[@MEYanZav]

Dare I say, "favourite KZbinr"?

[@Tonci87]

You made a mistake when describing the creeping barrage. They will not spread out the ammunition over the vertical fire points. The guns will shift up one lane after each gun has fired 5 times. So if you draw a box with 3 vertical lines and assign 10 rounds per gun, then the last line will not be fired upon at all.

[@TheWarSimmer]

Thanks Tonci. I believe I may end up taking this video down eventually, as there are a couple inaccuracies. The devs change things so often that most of these end up being a bit out of date every couple of months anyway. I've watched several of your vids and they're great. I'm hoping people like you can help the community grow. I have a playthrough of Pivot Point coming up that will be available Saturday.

[@Tonci87]

@@TheWarSimmer Thats nice to hear, I´m looking forward to it!

[@Tom_Quixote]

Great video, lots of good info, generally well explained. Question: If I have an on-call artillery unit available, can I still do pre-planned artillery against points of the map where I dont have line of sight? I have not been able to make it work. Even while plotting the fire mission during deployment, once the battle starts, I'll get the message that the spotter failed to spot the spotting rounds. So does this mean that Cmd type batteries can ONLY do observed fire?

[@TheWarSimmer]

That has been my experience as well

[@Tom_Quixote]

@@TheWarSimmer Yes, it seems an oversight that if you CAN call artillery on demand, you HAVE to do it that way. Anyway I don't find scheduled support very useful - it's pretty impossible to guess exactly where the enemy will deploy.

[@0815Catgus]

Thank you Chuddy

[@vimana6226]

I have only off arti " heavy mortar only whole time ?

[@Kirito-ts9gk]

I still don't get the different radio signal things that pop up above your units. Could you or someone tell me what the different colors mean. Great tutorial too.

[@TheWarSimmer]

In general, you don't have to worry about it too much, and I haven't myself in years. But from what I can recall (check the manual to be sure): Phone emblem- orders being relayed via wire Blue waves- orders being transmitted down Yellow waves- orders being received from above Three dots- verbal/comms The main one to look for is the phone emblem. But you can also confirm that wire links have been established by seeing arrows in the command hierarchy, or "link established" icon (phone) on left of screen when a unit is selected.

[@cielo7689]

Best tutorial. But why sometime some artillery guns are unavailable?

[@dejiny]

Thank you very much.

[@forgiven88]

Thank you

[@MrTonos10]

Thanks!

[@givmig1gris]

Great video - there is so much to learn in this game. How do I change the map symbols to NATO-counters/symbols?

[@2Dark03]

How do we set more than one

[@pedrowojciechowski8669]

How good my pc has to be to play it properly?

[@ThisOLmaan]

after time stamp 2:52 what key to pres to start Battle?

[@TheWarSimmer]

You click the actual battle on the operational map itself.

[@ThisOLmaan]

@@TheWarSimmer : ok thnak you WarSim, i guess i was having a hard time cuz i really didn't pre-deploy any units just wanted to see how to get to the actual battlefield and off map. still need to read the manual to better understand the gameplay. ty

[@TheWarSimmer]

@@ThisOLmaan no problem. Remember that the game itself is actually pretty simple. You just have to overcome the UI and remember it doesn't really play like a "game" in a traditional sense. There will be a moment it clicks with you

[@ThisOLmaan]

@@TheWarSimmer : yeah i know doesn't play like any OL traditional game and thas is why i long to learn it, just have to run into the right walk through tutorials. Like for Total War Warhammer i had that game sit in my Libaray since 2017 and decide i give it another try in 2022 also ran into a couple of Gents that really Hondered there walkthroughs and now i really enjoy Tw warhammer. Next is Graviteam kinda tried of fact paced War games. Many players of Combat Mission , there next good choice is Graviteam tactic, and thanks for the encouraged word they always help. i will continue to watch Ur videos as to is a quicker way to learn it. Excuss any misspelled words i tend to do it with out re checking errors

[@sgtg7061]

For the HE rounds what does the Immediate Action button do? (Not to be confused with the Immediately fire designator). It's always off by default when you start a battle. Thanks!

[@arkadiy9321]

It’s a fuse type selection. Immediate setting gives a better fragmentation as the shell does not bury into the ground and explodes upon hitting the surface.

[@historypro1366]

I would like to ask if there is any way to disable or reduce close air support? It just destroys my units and I cant call my own .

[@arkadiy9321]

Air support is operation-specific (i.e. not dynamic, with the exception of post ww2 engagements). The time and place where the planes will appear is set according to the historical data (to a degree it's actually available)

[@historypro1366]

@@arkadiy9321 So depending on the operation determins if there is air support? Is there a way to see which operations have air support and which have not ? Thanks for the reply

[@arkadiy9321]

​@@historypro1366 yes - if you go to the forces list (where you see every platoon in the OOB), the air support will be at the very top. For example, check Stepanovka-Marinovka operation of the main game for either side. It'll show the turn when the planes arrive (but not the place)

[@historypro1366]

@@arkadiy9321 Will do, thank you very much.

[@Desaster40k]

Do I specifically need a battalion level commander for a battalion level battery, or will a battalion level battery be on-call if a regimental level commander (or higher) is present?

[@TheWarSimmer]

You should be fine so long as command is the same level as the arty or higher.

[@truedemoknight6784]

In the manual it says that creeping barrage moves every 5 rounds, is the manual wrong then?

[@TheWarSimmer]

manual is correct. The information I gave in the video was wrong.

[@truedemoknight6784]

@@TheWarSimmer Awesome, thanks for responding on an older video

[@TheWarSimmer]

@@truedemoknight6784 no problem. This game changes all the time- so some info can be outdated but it's enough to get the basics

[@edmundcowan9131]

Need more button pushing clarity. Less tactics. It’s the button combo that is the problem.

Got ya. I'll be sure to go through those processes in future tutorials
