A little tip, when shooting bunkers, there’s a specific bunker type that may make you regret ever having your sights on it in the first place. Its called the howitzer bunker. It looks like an artillery piece on a concrete bunker. If you shoot the bunker it’s connected to within its firing arc, you’ll be far more afraid than it’ll ever be. Why? Simple. It fires back. Howitzer shells. Which have a big AOE. But they aren’t 100% accurate. Regardless though, just be careful.
Excuse me but when you say “it fires back” does it do that automatically? I’m thinking of buying this game but haven’t yet.
@@bigglasses2625 Yes. AI defenses within the game will fire at you automatically. The howitzer bunker is the only AI defense in that game that will not shoot you at you though until you damage it. It’s solely reactive. But every other defense will shoot at you regardless if you get too close to them. Some defenses are a little of both though. They’ll fire at you if you get too close and if you fire at it.
@@infinitekarma4949 I realize your post is dated but can you tell me... can the Howitzer garrison be manned and controlled that way or is it AI only?
@@whanethewhip nope. no manning the MGs, ATs, and howitzer in bunkers
@@ChemySh Thanks for the reply, I had figured it out not too long after... that the howitzer bunkers auto fire when hit by enemy howitzer.
You sounds like a Lieutenant giving a lesson in the class XD CHeers!
I don’t recommend using any mortar shells on vehicles unless if they aren’t armored(i.e. trucks, LUVs, motorbikes, etc.). Though, if you’re using a mortar with standard shells, only shoot vehicles if they seem to be of importance. An example would be the fuel tanker that was supplying the battle tank earlier at 2:49. Fuel tankers are a good target to shoot whenever there are tanks nearby. Though, to be fair, they could always just recover the diesel if they actually need it. Bases tend to have fuel, but that may not always be the case. Also, when shooting infantry. Please. Please. Please. Do not waste standard shells on infantry. It may not be a huge deal. But from a logistical perspective, it can literally hurt. Standard shells in specific are the most expensive shell out of them all. For all you new players, refined materials (more commonly referred to as rmats) and heavy explosive materials (hemats) are the two most expensive materials in the game. Other than cement. But that’s another topic in itself. If and when you can, always try to recover mortar tubes and standard shells. A little side note with recovering loot, it is always a good idea to recover and scavenge what you can from corpses. But there are certain things you should really look out for in specific. To name a few, mortars, RPGs, storm rifles, LMGs, MGs, etc. These are expensive weapons that cost RMATs. If you’re curious as to how expensive they are exactly, do logistics for a day or two. Go to a components field in a back line region. Get a truck full of components. Return back to a logistics hub. Start refining all your materials. You’ll notice that for components and sulfur in specific, they both have 20:1 refine ratios. Meaning, 20 components refined into a single rmat. And 20 sulfur refines into a single hemat. Your output is only 1/20 of your input. Now, I don’t remember the actual cost of some of the crates for things. But if you were to take a look in a factory, you would see how much a few crates of things cost. Now, it may not seem as big of a deal as I’m making it. Especially when you use the MPF(mass production factory, which reduces the cost of every extra crate after a certain amount). But if you wish to not piss off any logi vets and help your team, be conservative with your gear. This goes for a lot of things. If you wanna know what’s worth saving and what isn’t on a front line, just ask others around and gain their input. Not everyone will always say the same thing.
So if I wanted to organize a massive artillery barrage for an offensive I would need a lot of planning and a big stockpile of resources for it (which is true even in real life) by your professional estimate how much should I stockpile and which munitions should I use that are the most cost effective?
Came here to specifically ask if I should shoot tanks with mortars. Thanks for the tip! Any reason why not? Are they just too weak to do significant damage?
@@dionwoollaston5717 shiiiiet, I was in an arty crew that defended Westgate yesterday until the Collies calmed down, we must've went through 10-15 trucks for one howitzer. That'd be 150-225 shells. But honestly, not enough shells/arty is better than none at all. Beats rushing bunkers with mammons at least.
If you're the attacker, your main blocker would be AI bunkers, so stock up on normal shells because frag shells is less effective against buildings.
Frag shells can be useful but the risk of friendly fire may be too much considering your mates will be charging enemy lines (i.e where you're aiming at). Static targets like enemy bunkers won't matter for friendly fire because most players are smart enough to avoid it if they know there's an arty on the front (if they thought there's no friendly arty, mammon rushes will happen)
Thanks to this advice, I managed to get 4 guys to help me “borrow” literally 40 40mm rounds left in a crate on the front line by the enemy. It was glorious.
Hey thanks for the helpful video
I've tried using mortars before but not that effectively.
I'll definitely keep this in mind and hopefully be a bit more effect and have some fun
I have used the mortar like 2 times in total. The 1st time i stripped a mortar off a corpse. Shot my 1st shot and instantly hit a friendly. 2nd time i found a another mortar, this time i had flares. Tried lighting up the enemies but i accidentally lit up my team instead. We all died.
Watched a half dozen times. Good help! Thank you. Now to get my mortar on.
it's wild how rare it is to see other players use mortars. they're really good against anyone taking cover in a trench
I would use a mortar tube
IF WE EVER HAD ANY
Be the change that you want to see and go do some logi and make some.
@@ForTheOmnissiah people would rather wait in a 50min 20 player queue then playing logi, litrally one more person at the salvage field can near double the output
Tried to learn this today on my own, glad I found this video
Last week I got one from a dead body (I love to loot) with 4 rounds of ammunition. I used it and almost killed a bunch of my comrades. I thought I'm banned. It was close
Thanks for the video man :)
@Armagin's Approach
This tutorial was fantastic.
Please consider other tutorials about other ranged weapons like artillery cannons.
Different kinds of weapons and many other obscure things of foxhole.
Most players only grab a weapon and go into the battlefield, they don't know about weapons like this, different Anti Armor weapons, much less how you use artillery.
Thanks for the vid! :D
A more advanced vid would be great too!
Good basic guide, but it's outdated since it does not account for the new wind mechanics.
Thats true, wind mechanic is disgusting, needs to be removed from this game
@@hahadl Nope
You just have to adapt.
@@hahadl adapt or stagnate
@@xxmemestar69xx82 and what do you do now for that?
@@friskscipio online calculators
Thanks!
thanks for this
This is before developer add wind resistant
Is this true? because Ive noticed my shells never land where I aim them
@@Alexander2344555 yup b4 u shot make sure look at the foxhole flag to see which direction the wind blow, from there u need to adjust abit n pray it would hit
@@the_chosen_two1385 sweet as, thanks mate. Gave it ago last night and your advice was bang on
This is a comment for my friend, Al.
Hi Al.
Great video. Needs updated.
Is this effective against bunkers?
I tried to shoot from a mortar, but it is extremely inaccurate at close range, there may be an inaccuracy of hitting from 7 to 10 to the side, an error in meters.
At a distance of 80 meters there are no inaccuracies, but the projectile still flies randomly over the area. I have no idea how the enemy hits us so well with a mortar.
You fire a shot and see where it landed as opposed to intended target, then adjust distance and azimuth accordingly, then you're dead on. First shot is always a trial shot to test windage.
what mic are you using? im curious :)
I've got a mic on my logitech headphones that I'm using.
@@armaginsapproach445 it has a slight little "radio" like effect on your voice, its very suitable to your channels content :) great video as allways, good stuff
This video is no longer accurate. The mortar is now much more difficult to use due to wind factor, and has a firing arc rather than phasing straight to your target.
Then make an updated one for us.
@@Bitchesgivehigh5s bruh, be grateful he even told you that, otherwise you would follow inaccurate outdated info
The way it works now doing it solo is just wasteful. It takes so long to get binos out and see where you hit and effectively adjusting for wind is significantly harder. Doing mortar properly with a spotter is very accurate, however. They get to see the shot land and immediately adjust for wind.
ay bro a lot of this info is either outdated or flatout wrong now. an updated video would be appreciated!😊
now 45-80 meters
If you are new to mortars and arty please just get a spotter
how do I change ammo?
F
Do all of this with a friend or a battle buddie.
It's basically required to have a spotter in order for mortars and arty to be effective now, since they added wind.
@@ForTheOmnissiah i know, my comment was to encourage players to do so, as we gotta stop the "one man mortar crew" from happening.
this new winter war patch fucked arty and mortars, i mean sure a little inacuracy would be fine but now i cant hit a bunker because the wind changes more than a baby does diapers
why do people hate mortars so much
Sorry but this is now out of date thanks to the wind mechanic
Invest in better audio equipment and stop breathing into the microphone.
