Long range artillery spread

[Nibbs]

Not sure if you want to / can change anything about this or not, But the Arty's spread is huge when firing long distance. It was firing at the red cross, and managed to land a round in Neri which is ~700m away

 

my abandoned prowler which was right next to the red smoke, was seemingly unharmed by the entire volley

The arty firing is purely Arma mechanics, so the spread is inherent to the Sochor's themselves. We could put a limit in the targeting loop, to only search and target players within say 10km from the arty itself. Still probably going to be a lot of spread, but not as much as firing at a target 16-20 km away

Yeah on the 1 hand, I feel like that spread long distance is a bit much as it can take out a player so far from the smoke... on the other hand EA games did seem pretty convinced that gamers like "surprise mechanics"

I'll fire up the editor later and have a look when the sorchors change from medium firing pattern to far
