ARMA 2 Tutorial - Artillery Computer

[@TheLetters21]

Great Video, didn't really understand artillery until now. Thanks

[@MichielGroenewegen]

The spread means that there is a off of that number. Example the mortar had a spread of 34, that means that there's 34 meter spread of that targetpoint. The mortarcrew have to make sure that there are no friendlies in the spread. usually the spread + 50 meters. In this example friendlies have stay away in a circle of 84 meters.

[@averageanarchist]

What I heard about Spread is it is basically accuracy, on un-guided rounds spread # gets larger at longer ranges, I'm guessing the spread # is a radius and the computer estimates the round can hit anywhere in that radius. (Guided rounds have 0 spread in Arma). ACE mod is supposed to add allot more realism to the Artillery, I haven't tried the artillery in ACE yet. This tutorial is pretty accurate for ARMA 3 as well

[@Knubinator]

Spread in artillery is the +/- range to the point of impact, if I recall correctly. So it'll with within so many meters/feet of the point you clicked on the map.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

I do most of the Tutorials based on Request i get. This was one of them. Apperantly not everyone was able to figure it out themselfe. And i explained a bit more then just how to click in a circle ;-)

[@Ledwow]

well dubble click to make a marker and use arrow keys to change what you want from an like X shape to an error or a little dot and you can type whatever you want as well.

[@severgun]

I think spread means kill zone around explosion (34 meter radius)

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Its 15 min at the beginning but after a while and a few uploads they unlock your account for unlimitied duration, if you dont have to many copyright voilations.

[@JackHendersification]

I just figured it out : Shift + left click puts a marker on the map and in game you can see what the distance is between you and the marker :D

[@archmageofendor3312]

a spread of 34 metres means that in the current conditions the round could potentially land 34 metres off target

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

double click on the map lets you place a marker and name it. doesnt tell you a range or anything though.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

hmm, not sure in the vanilla version. maybe with an ammobox or so. or scripting i guess

[@welsh2266]

good vid mate but how do you use illum or smoke with the 105mm & mortars?

[@MichielGroenewegen]

i forgot. the stay away area is for the howitzer about 100 meters and for the MLRS 200 meters

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

in the editor or in a mission?

[@kilerabit321]

@SwissMAVERICK so in theory if you just parked an ammo truck by your MLRS you would have infinite rockets?

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Not sure if its infinite but you can fire a lot of rockets that way

[@jordin227]

it wont let me open the arti computer

[@JackHendersification]

I noticed xD I just bought ArmA II OA, I'm quite happy with it :D But only 1 thing, how do i put a marker on the map so it show in game? (distance, grid etc...)

[@haydennoonan5764]

Does the aircraft carrier come in the original arma 2 game? And if you buy the disk will there be other army men driving around?

[@Heaney5551]

Are you gonna make an ACE version of this tut for people?

[@TheTrollIsYou]

Hey Swiss, where do you get your music? I recognize it, but I don't know from where.

[@ghoulishpeach2403]

Mw2 enemy of my enemy

[@JackHendersification]

The map overall, i always have to guess where a place is and how far away it is, and it gets quite annoying.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

As far as i know its not possible this way (Player controlled Arty). With scripted Artillery it can be used though.

[@thickschmeat7560]

Hey Mav what are your specs looks like your running on High also what are your video settings?

[@severgun]

Is there any tutorial about ACE mortars?

[@po2randall]

spread is the amount of meters the rounds might land off target

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Do you use the ACE Mod? Guess not since you dont know what it is.

[@DeafJamPunks]

Was this done with mods? Can't find anything on the vanilla version.

[@PeteWaddell]

Hi Swiss. How do you Upload such long video's without being partnered? Must it be under 30 mins? Cheers for the tutorial.

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

ACE?

[@milliø_404]

[@babyansel]

hey how did you get the Howitzer? -sub

[@XXStoogieXX]

I honestly don't know the name, I've only seen it on youtube, so try looking there.

[@LeonBeilmann]

I apprecciate your effort for the community, but did you really do a tutorial on how to click in a circle?

[@lawnmowerarmy97]

Does it work woth the scud launcher?

[@milliø_404]

when i go in the mortar it dosen't have the artillery computer

[@TheMaddestDan]

What exactly do you mean by other army men driving around?

[@mrhandgrenade100]

hey dude can u send me a link to a website to were i can make a squad for like events and stuff

[@MrProfilen]

Hey, what version are you in?? I don't have artillery computer.

[@Snadaaahhh]

Whats up,I know this was like 3 years ago....But did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem

[@MrProfilen]

Not sure tbh, it just started working like the next day. I might've added in a script via editor, but I haven't played ARMA 2 in a while.

[@thediabetico6130]

You need The DLC operation arrowhead

[@midnightrose23]

PLEASE, HOW TO MAKE AI FIRE CORRECTLY WITH IT?

[@christodouloso8]

[@JuansTheName]

[@JackHendersification]

Hey dude, i don't have the full version of arma 2, Is there anyway i can do this in the free version? Because theres no Artillery computer D:

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

This feature came with OA

[@XXStoogieXX]

to use the SCUD launcher

[@PeteWaddell]

Thanks man!

[@seb_nosirrah]

Is the ACE mod available to free ARMA II players? If you would you care to share the link to the download? Thanks!

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Well then it sould work. Unless you have ARMA 2 standalone. I think its a feature that came with operation arrowhead.

[@DrMarouanMoussa]

nice tuto)

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

nope, no addons but it`s operation arrowhead content.

[@mrhandgrenade100]

[@EkremOncirak]

[@milliø_404]

iv never used the ACE :L mod

[@FalconEgy417]

SLX MOD can enhance ur AI preformance on many levels

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

First of all : What AC-130 ? Second of all : An AC-130 has nothing to to with Artillery

[@sagameingvidsanhclan1881]

should be in your static unit

[@microchook]

With A.C.E everything is more complicated. :)

[@richardramos141]

So the mortar is useless in the arma 2 free?

[@MrChauncey107]

Ikr

[@iBmazing]

im not trying to be one of those scrubs who demand dayz but im actually suprised that you havent played it yet

[@milliø_404]

? ace?

[@moose_in_a_noose5096]

Damn it doesnt work in DayZ

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Oh wow, are you seriously comparing an AC-130 with Ground Artillery just because one of its Weapon Systems is a howitzer?

[@jacksonstar3]

When i place the destroyer in the sea it is underwater o_O

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Nope, dont know the calculations that have to be done.

[@XXStoogieXX]

no, you need a mod for that.

[@NFlight]

Dude is dyslexic....

[@TheSwissMAVERICK]

Nope, ARMA 2 Free is only a Demo

[@shotgun9922]

[@Scotty_Z123]
