this has always buffled me
Da es eine Truppengattung ist die meiner Meinung nach recht wenig im Gespräch ist, wollte ich mal fragen wie eigentlich so der Alltag bei der Artillerie aussieht. Und wie ist der Umgangston eurer Erfahrung nach? Eher typisch militärisch wie bei der Infanterie oder eher Kollegial wie man es aus anderen Verwendungen mitbekommt?
Moin Leute, ich hatte in der Oberstufe meines Gymnasium (damals das grösste in meinem Bundesland) über 1 Jahr lang den General-Schlüsselbund der Schule und somit Zugang zu allen Räumen. Damals haben wir mehr Zeit nachts in der Schule verbracht als tagsüber. Um eine Frage vorweg zu beantworte: ja, die ganze Sache ist echt n bisschen abgelaufen wie im Film, mit pikanten Enthüllungen, kindischen Möchtegern-Streichen und einem großen Knall am Ende… ask me anything!
PS: hier wird von Taten berichtet, die von aufmüpfigen, dummen und teilweise schlichtweg asozialen Jugendlichen begangen wurden. Dieser Post gilt NICHT zur Glorifizierung dieser (Straf-)Taten und soll lediglich berichten. Und wenn es euch hilft, lasst euch gerne über mein Teenager-Ich aus, ich hätte es wahrlich verdient!

Hello there, fellow Scheißposters.
Yesterday I watched Der Untergang/Downfall, for like the twentieth time, admittedly. I think it's a masterpiece, in my opinion, German war cinema conveys a general anti-war message (think of Das Boot, Generation War, etc), as opposed to usually big budget Hollywood-esque films, with the epic music and all that stuff.
I like that the Untergang Hitler, exquisitely portrayed by the late Bruno Ganz, has some humanity in him, and might seem like a good guy to talk to, but then he snaps into his usual anti-Semitic tirades, delusional and deranged orders, etc. I don't mean "humanizing Hitler" in a wholesome way, but rather as a warning and reminder than genocide masterminds are not aliens or otherworldly creatures, but rather humans like you and I, who could have the potential to become such monsters.
So, what are your thoughts on the movie? Do you share the same sentiment? Let's discuss

Main Quest
Before artillery was integrated into random missions, I welcomed it. I craved it! The battery positions were already decorating the battlefields, after all; why wouldn't they be trying to stop my assault?
And I loved what they brought to beachheads! I was thrilled jumping over arty splash in my dedicated GHR-5P and BJ-A beachhead recon boats! My sweaty palms ached as I gripped the controller to the point of failure with every whistle and crump! I love the smell of brass and cordite in the morning! Smells like crushed Drac!
Et cetera.
The reality of this addition has definitely been a mixed bag though, leaning hard into the "yeesh, artillery... this feature sucks" camp.
I would never send my Leopard- which in the case of MW5M is both my livelihood and home- into any conflict with an active artillery threat if I were going to take fire on the ship in the first seconds of the drop.
I don't bring a jump-capable fast striker capable of quickly countering artillery positions onto every 90 difficulty Warzone I drop into.
I should never have to sideline my primary objective just to spend five to ten minutes hunting cannon cockers in the woodline, sometimes scattered around nearly 3 klicks from the farm I should be defending. This is annoying and boring, but if I don't go do it I'll probably be ripped to shreds. Kind of a buzz kill either way.
And I shouldn't have to leave the warzone field early because my Atlas is going to lose an arm not due to close combat, but because artillery targeted me and only me for those first five to ten minutes of the engagement.
Also, why am I the only target? Shouldn't they be pounding their own primary objective, the farm?
I would love to see a few minor additions and adjustments to the NPC steel rain, to address those imbalances and get me back into immediate action doing what I came down to this rock to do- pounding mechs and mechbays into dust.
- If the mission will absolutely feature an artillery threat, I want to be warned about it on the contract screen. Then I would like to be able to delete that threat before committing to the drop by spending contract points on airstrikes. Two airstrike points (and the click of a "PRE-DROP STRIKE?" button ) guarantees an arty-free drop. One point cuts the threat in half.
Or you could throw another option onto the in-mission airstrike menu option: SEEK AND DESTROY. This option would assign airstrikes to knock out half of the cannons per point spent until t
