Artillery bug

seen this bug a few times, also, with both arty and naval gunnery, enemy units move within range and idle units do NOT fire (and no, not using HC glitchy fire control.)

I have experienced this too. But I’m not facing very active players so it doesn’t bother me much.

My cruisers and rocket artillery are both working just fine in my case, it's just the artillery that's the problem. And I can't even get them to move if it's part of an Attack command, or an Attack command is part of their chain of orders.

What I did when this happened was to move the units to a place where the enemy is just within range. But you might need to use PC for precise placement. I used SParty. I don’t know if it occur on other units as well because I’m currently not playing any games

I always play on PC anyway, so no problems there.

I do precisely that when I'm awake, but it's somewhat problematic when I'm lining up operations I want to go ahead while I'm sleeping.

Shit, just happened to me

5 beautiful artillery

gone

GONE

What, disappeared? Mine haven't gone that far yet.

Or destroyed because they're now much weaker?

No dead.

I was bombarding lisbon

They had 10 infantry in front

5 militia walked through my infantry and killed my artillery

I see. Still infuriating. Probably more so in fact.

Artillery have been doing most of the work in my game, and until this bug popped up I had a perfect k/d in it.

Maybe we should stack our artys with meat shields from now on. Maybe making artys unable to attack is a way to stop active players to use the 3 minute counter attack delay?

The bug defeats the whole purpose of artillery. Artillery works that way so you can attack from a distance using it, and an active, on-the-ball player can survive by advancing on it and forcing it into a melee.

Personally I stack mine with other units (usually militia) to sop up damage anyway whenever I have those units to spare.

Fortunately the bug has gone away for now in the game I'm in, but I don't trust it not to return.

This is excruciating to even think about.

Artillery are a little finicky, this bug has been around for years now. If you attack order artillery and it doesn't automatically relocate to move into fire range, just manually move it so they will fire once they stop. As of your issue, I've observed this to happen around 25% of the time when I order the attack with artillery, at this point I just always move command instead of firing due to them both essentially achieving the same thing. If you use high command, you can just go crazy with offensive/aggressive stances, high command is certainly a nice feature they implemented.

From what I understand "fire at will" stance (the default stance) only actually checks if units are in range when the game updates. Once the artillery moves into range, it will immediately cause the game to update, and they will begin firing. Otherwise you will need to issue an order anywhere on the map to cause the game to update and for it to check what is in range.

Mine don't fire unless I explicitly tell them to (I don't know if this is normal or not; always seemed normal to me). The 'move and then order to attack when within range' thing is OK for the most part, but I like having my operations and defenses to keep going autonomously when I'm asleep, and I now can't do that if I have artillery in there. Which sucks because artillery is one of the two units that makes up the backbone of every army I ever make.

Given that I'm playing Comintern at present that wouldn't be a bad idea anyway. To an extent I'm already doing that.

Move and shoot never works when i try to move my arty only a little bit. I always have to move and then let AI start shooting, like someone already mentioned. It's disgusting.

It happened today again in the same game...Mot infantry moving through my stack

It seems like you are experiencing an issue with your artillery units in the game Call of Nations (CoN). While I'm unable to directly address technical issues, I can offer some general troubleshooting suggestions that might help resolve the problem:

1. Verify Range: Double-check the range of your artillery units and make sure their target is within their firing range. If the target is outside the range, the attack order may automatically cancel.

2. Check Orders: Ensure there are no conflicting orders given to the artillery units. Sometimes, units may have multiple orders assigned to them, which can cause conflicts and prevent them from executing certain actions.

3. Update the Game: Ensure that your game is up to date with the latest patches or updates. Developers often release updates to fix bugs and improve gameplay, so updating the game might resolve the issue.

4. Restart the Game: Try closing the game completely and then restarting it. This simple action can sometimes resolve unexpected issues in games.

5. Contact Support: If the issue persists, it might be helpful to reach out to the game's customer support team or consult the game's community forums. They may have specific insights or solutions for this particular issue.

Remember, these suggestions are general in nature, and it's always a good idea to consult the game's documentation or resources provided by the game's developers for specific troubleshooting steps related to your issue.
