WARDOGS Mortar and Artillery Fundamentals
Run a safer indirect-fire loop and account for the Season 1 Artillery Tank price, level and deployable-space changes without inventing missing values.
Split the crew into jobs
The spotter identifies the target and shared reference. The gun crew confirms orientation and ammunition. One person owns corrections so multiple voices do not change the solution.
Agree on a stop call and confirm friendlies before firing.
Fire one observed round
Use current controls and map scale for the first shot. Fire once, wait for observation and record what changed. A volley before observation multiplies the error.
Community calculators are leads, not guaranteed solutions.
Correct one variable
Use a consistent call: reference, direction, distance and result. Change bearing or range, not both, unless the miss is understood.
A future table must record build, weapon, map scale, ammunition and measured result.
Account for the Season 1 artillery changes
The official changelog moves the Artillery Tank from Career level 55 to level 90 and raises its price from $400,000 to $500,000. It also says 155mm and 122mm deployables take more loadout room.
The note does not publish the new deployable-space values. Confirm the live capacity meter before buying ammunition, support gear or a replacement kit around an old loadout.
| Item | Confirmed change | Still unknown |
|---|---|---|
| Artillery Tank unlock | Career 55 → Career 90 | Later-patch changes |
| Artillery Tank price | $400,000 → $500,000 | Later-patch changes |
| 155mm deployable | Uses more loadout room | Exact current space |
| 122mm deployable | Uses more loadout room | Exact current space |
Know when to stop
Stop when friendlies enter, the target leaves, the observer loses sight, ammunition is needed elsewhere or the objective moves.
An exposed gun position also needs defense and a relocation plan.
