Behaviours - Artillery - Add more options for firing artillery
Would be nice to have a little more control over the artillery firing modes.
Was thinking something like these
- Firing Speed - Choose the delay between shots in a volley
- Something like 'Slow', 'Medium', 'Full'
- Spread - Choose how tightly the shot grouping will be.
- Something like 'Exact', 'Tight', 'Loose', 'Wide'
If time permits:
- Mode - Choose between some special firing modes
- Point (default) - Will fire directly at the target
- Line Advancing - Will fire in a line centered on the target starting close to the unit and moving away
- Line Retreating - Same as advancing but moving towards the unit instead of away
- Line Left to Right - Same as advancing except moving left to right
- Line Right to Left - Same as advancing except moving right to left
- Spotted - Fire a single round and then after a pause fire the remaining rounds
Some other ideas:
- Store a history of fire missions for review
- Let Zeus repeat fire missions from the history
- Configure a "Time on Target" fire mission. Battery executes automatically
- Show an overlay timer for first round impact to notify JTAC/FOB accordingly.
- Allow fire missions to be targeted on existing artillery targets
