Mission Summary & Rapid Solution TL;DR EXECUTION
When friendlies request support within 0.25 km of enemy lines, DO NOT use HCHE or H shells. Switch to precision AP shells to eliminate enemies without killing allies.
- ✓ Evaluate friendly distance from hostile targets before firing
- ✓ Deploy AP precision shells for danger-close (<0.25 km) requests
- ✓ Coordinate War Horn timing with friendly storming operations
- ✓ Provide smoke screens (SMK) when infantry is pinned down
Danger-Close Fire Support
When the teleprinter requests urgent fire support, always check the reported friendly standoff distance. Use AP for close-in pinpoint destruction.
>Frequently Encountered Tactical Problems
Q1Why did my high explosive shell fail the mission?
High Explosive (H) and HCHE shells have large blast radii (45m-95m). Firing them near friendlies (0.25 km) causes friendly casualties and instant mission failure.
