Fire control

Also, the last few days it seems that artillery will not always follow the command to attack when the target unit is covered by the fog of war.

I agree with Ryan04px2025 regarding "that time thing of when to attack". It can take several minutes until the artilery opens fire. However, if you noticed that it took longer than several minutes let us know.

After a few times of attacking, the time will increase right?

Is there a specific time? Or is it coded to be random?

once your attack started, the next attack always occurs after 60min in the CoW base game. It is 30min in the 1.5 games and in speed maps it also varies.

I guess I can explain the “attack order” a bit better. When you target a unit that is out of range of the enemy, the artillery is supposed to travel to a point where it is in range and start firing. It doesn’t happen all the time, but, the artillery won’t even start to move when the command is given. I have to manually move the artillery within range and then Command it to attack before it will start firing.

the other issue, has happened several times where a unit I am at war with will make it all the way through the range of artillery and attack it directly without the artillery ever firing. Fire control is set to fire at will, my stationary artillery should start firing as soon as the enemy unit is in range... which it does not.

These scenarios only happen when the enemy unit is under the fog of war, where you can see that there is a unit but the enemy unit is still of unknown size and composition.

So how do you know wether you did damage to it? They can loose one division without you knowing and still have troops in the unit

Because my artillery isn’t even firing. I watched as a single infantry unit appeared out of the fog of war and marched all the way to my artillery and attacked it directly. When it come out of the fog, where you can see what type and how many units the enemy is, a stack of 8 artillery can destroy one infantry long before it ever reaches my units. If it were once I may say X factor, but it’s happening a bit more than the X factor should allow. The unit was 100% when it hit my artillery and I watched the battle as the infantry health decreased. It’s not an issue of damage, it’s an issue of the artillery not firing.

You can send a support ticket to the game operators

There is some other issues, one of which the staff said they couldn’t recreate. I was asking here because I was wondering if I just need to delete the app and re-download it. I felt like this would’ve been an issue brought up by other players pretty quick.

Like right now, the app won’t even load

yeah I just figured that out too. I touch the load screen and the sound starts but not the game... not working in the browser either

Do these fire control "issues" only occur with High Command?

As far as I am aware, fire control is only available for high command.

Units not following orders sounds like your orders are not reaching the server to me. Check your connection and see if other orders are followed at that time. Mobile doesn’t have any connection indicator like desktop, So about the only thing you can do is reload and see if it behaves properly.

Next time it happens, I’ll give that a try.
