Hey guys I want to post up an idea for an indirect artillery vehicle and get some (constructive!) criticism on it...

It would be Sundy sized, have to deploy to fire (like AMS)and work closely with squad infiltrators who use a "Binocular Tool" to spot targets for them.

Im sure it wouldnt be to impossible to make an infiltrator "Tool" that was Binoculars like and helped with spotting. It would give the infil xp for Artillery kills if they were killed while being spotted with the tool.

Spotting a target (sundy,max, infantry, etc) with them could let the artillery tank see where their rounds were hitting on the mini map by showing little blasts (kind of like the pings of the infiltrator recon sensor). Also the enemy that was spotted by the infil would show up on the map too so you could adjust fire onto them.

So in action it would go like this...infiltrator on the hilltop sees the enemy sundy they are spawning and attacking from. He cant take it out with his weaponry so he whips out his binos and spots it so that his squad/platoon's artillery can see the enemy sundy on their mini map and starts shooting. Because the infil is still spotting the sundy they can see that their first shots hit just north of it so they adjust fire and start hitting it until it explodes gloriously...giving them xp and the infil who spotted it xp.

And discuss...
