this is just an idea but how awesome would it be to have field artillery. howitzers set up in the back ground of a tank specialized in artillery. like a mobile artillery similar to what we have now (cant remember what there called). a priest looking thing maybe. for those who don't know what FA and MA are here.

MAAAN IT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!! i have tons of ideas popping in my head now about how those would look in dust form.
oh yeah if you couldn't tell im kinda an artillery fan lol what do you guys think? |

No offense, but if they give me arty, I might break this game. Subdreddit has an unusually high concentration of 13 series...who would love to light up districts like the 4th of July. |

Field arty looks amazing. Could be a type of turret like the Railgun Turrets and Blaster Turrets. The Arty Turret :D
Mobile Arty looks like a battle field 3 tank. |

Artillery is kinda redundant with orbital strikes so readily available, but maybe when they take out the NPC strikes in favour of purely player-arranged orbital support, artillery pieces would make a good back up unit in case your fleet in orbit gets engaged and has to fight or bail. |

actually discussion came up last night:
heavies should have 3 levels of mortars and 3 levels of arty:
include AV/AP variants or ammo. carry it as a main weapon, sits on the back of the heavy suit
pull up should be similar to TAC MAP orbital with range limits based on skills.
no secondary weapon cuz weight issues.

SOONtm. There will be Artillery turrets, so you can put them on HAV's (MA), then on installations (FA).
Peace, Godin |

AV is a rough one since there is already so much AV stuff but that's just my opinion. |

with a mortar or arty on the back of a heavy, you'd have to be tiger woods to hit a moving jeep. tanks might take a few rounds, not talking a 1 hit quitter. maybe 2 or 3 strikes?
but the heavy with a mortar load out would be bad ass.

While as a tanker I think they would be sweet to use, they would probably be hell to balance. Could imagine them being an off map support for PC only. An upgrade you can get for your district and call it in similar to an orbital. FF would be on adding some balance. Maybe an equipment slot for painting the target. Less damage than an orbital, but less WP's required too. Different levels of artillery support with varying damage and accuracy. Would be nice, but probably a long way to go till we see that. |

As for handheld weapons, I would make a Mortar that's useless against vehicles, but destroys dropsuits. There could be a slow firing breach one that does decent damage to them, however. But mainly, it's to sit outside outposts and rain death on the people inside. Say have 2 of them firing for a minute, then allies move in with support while your switching fits. |

that would be an AP mortar... anti personel.
you'd have shield mortar or armor mortar.
vehicles is vehicles.... you'd need an AV ammo for that.
prolly 2 for car and 3 for tank?

more like 3-4 for LAV, and 5-8 for HAV. These these things are made to hammer down hiding targets. Hiding targets are still targets.

Artillery will be a minmatar turret type- if eve is any indication, it will have the longest range, lowest RoF, but will pack a hell of a punch.
Before CCP removed the empty tabs in the shop, artillery was listed under turrets. |
