#1: Forward observers Author: BB-61, Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 9:22 am — I was wondering.... I assume that the forward observers are a few guys with binoculars and a radio calling in artillery located behind the lines. There is no actual artillery piece there. Although game technically I suppose there is, because you still have to be outside of a building. Could the forward observers be reprogrammed in such a way that you are allowed to be inside a building?
Often if you are outdoors you may have a good view but you are very exposed. Or you have good cover but you can't see what you are aiming for. With the accuracy of "firing blind" being about equal to it not being worth the effort of shooting, you have to see what you are aiming for in order to get with 50 meters of the target. If I were a forward observer I would try to find a spot with a good view in a tall building offering decent cover.
I know, I am sorry, I am being picky. Nevertheless, the idea of including forward observers is very good!
