[Weapon] v0.9 Improved Area Attacks
After seeing one too many fartillery strikes and faildams, we thought it was about time we overhauled the "Area Attacks" in PR to be properly representative of their real life counter-parts in terms of damage, firing rates and impact zones.
Mortar Barrage This will be the primary area attack for our unconventional factions but will be available to all on smaller maps.
Artillery Barrage This will be used for conventional factions on select medium/large maps.
Laser Guided Bomb (JDAM) This will be used for conventional factions on select medium/large maps.
I'd like to give a special thanks to [R-Dev]Ninja2Dan, who's vast real life experience as an artillery crewman was invaluable here. I'd also like to thank the Combined Arms team for helping fix the "faildam" Side Note : For those wondering about having multiple types of area attacks on one map, this will be looked into after 0.9. |

Re: [Weapon] 0.9 Improved Area Attacks
What was the exact numbers for the old area attacks, and are area attacks getting fixed so they dont kill caches through 4m solid cave roof?

Re: [Weapon] 0.9 Improved Area Attacks
No answer for these questions? The new area attacks looks quite deadly, but it would be nice to have some numbers to compare them to the old ones. It would also be nice to know if the bug where they destroys caches deep within caves and large houses.
