Hello there, I'm new here, so please be gentle.
I'm also posted this question on CSO forum, where I first heard about this great Mod.
I'm playing CC4 using VetBoB mod, and I'm wonder, why use forward observer to pinpoint artillery fire when you can use in game fire support button to do it? or I'm not suppose to use that button when playing VetBoB mod?
Also, what is the different between the two? to me it seems that artillery fire using in game button is more devestating that the one called in by forward observer team, but I could be wrong.
The forward observer is a unit that was added to the game in the Vet BoB mod. The off board artillery and airstrikes are from the original game. I guess they're a bit redundant, but the difference in play is.. the FO needs line of sight to fire, while the off board arty you can put anywhere. By all means use both!! Nothing stops a German attack like a combined artillery barrage!
Also, some command teams can call in mortar and smoke artillery, and later in the game the Airstrike Forward Observer comes in, then things get fun!!
