yes the insurgent artillery they are everwhere

it's like coalition forces patrol a road and then *bam* artillerystrikes everwhere, damn those taliban and their barrages

but on the other hand it is good that they have so much artillery, so they don't have to improvise with roadside bombs

drones + apache helicopters + jets >>>> artillery

end of story (unless your enemy has sophisticated air defence and the last war agianst such an enemy was germany and to an extend vietnam)

i am not saying that there is no use of artillery. i am saying in most situations it is outclassed by other assets

-Exile

and a lot less accurate

when you are engaged in a sort of close firefight (say ~700 meters) you don't want artillery

-Exile

Bad accuracy is usualy the fault of bad cordinates by the solder doing the fighting. Which to be honest no fault of his own, I dont know how well I could call in an artillery or air strke while being shot at.

Actually, no. They developed a really kick ass artillery up near A&M that is in limited use largely because of the preexisting forms of air-power we have. It's a small, one man artillery design that with a good operator can accurately hit a target 1 meter wide from a helluva distance away. But like the automatic shotgun, current methods of war and other devices largely render it a toy.

you mean we aren't already spamming and trolling before with a military subject?

well I was

...just if you live higher than 37th paralle.

Nope your good. Texas...land of big egos and great steaks

been thru Texas

talk about flat

except for the women

had to laugh at a sign at an overpass that was over the highway that read something like

"Warning, vehicles on other side cannot see you" or something like that, it was a long time ago

so you're saying you only had one GF and she was less than a D-cup? i feel so sorry for you... =P

yeah, my freind in Texas actually lived up near Fort Worth and by then it became a bit more rugged So I know its not all flat

but driving East at 6:00 am was quite the eyeopener

it was on I-10 going west, don't really remember the exact area, though it was past El Paso
