Modern Warfare Mod brings World in Conflict from the Cold War into the Modern Age. It also ups the ante on realism and authenticity in every role – Infantry, Armor, Support and Air, while trying our best to keep everything relatively balanced for fun and interesting gameplay.

Okay, I just thinking why the artillery shell, even if I using M982 Excalibur can't kill a tank ( EVEN a light tank ) with a single shot :|
Since every I playing online with my friends ( USA: 1 Support; 1 Air; 1 Infantry and RU 1 Support; 2 Armor ) they always using S-300 and their Tor M1 for killing my friend A-10s and AH-64s and my artillery shot ( K-9s and M109s ) always didn't hit the RU tanks directly :dead:

So my suggestion was: Make another type of M109 and replace it's offense ability from M982 Excalibur to.. M712 Copperhead ( 2 M109 types, 1 that can firing Excalibur and 1 can firing Copperhead, same like AH-64, 1 type that can firing laser-guided Hellfires and 1 type that an firing radar-guided if I not wrong :P )

The advantage of the Copperhead are it's pretty accurate to hit it's target, and it's good too for killing Heavy SAMs radar ( Since it's maximum range was pretty far, 16 KM :D )
BUT, the drawbacks of Copperhead are that minimum fire range are.. Little too far than Excalibur ( 3 KM ).. :D
And the Copperhead cannot hit anything WITHOUT any laser designation.. ( T-90's Shotra-1 can disturb any laser designation, so it will little difficult to hit this type of tank ) :)

NOTE: For USA only.. I don't know if Russians are using any laser-guided shells.. If Russian have any, please tell me XD

That's all and thank you for all your hard works.. This mod are the best mod ever for WiC ( And yep WiC was one of my favourite RTT game since I was at 11 years old, now I at 13 years old XD ) :)

We have plenty.

In general rework of arty is expected at some point, to bring it to the IADS/Air standards we have now.

Really good idea ! Laser ilumination could be provided by JTAC-Infantry. That also raises the cooperation between Infantry and Support. Also it would open new tactical options like already mentioned "snipe" the SAM-Radar if you manage to get some scouts over there.
Would be glad to see this in near future.

No, artillery ordinances will not be intercepted, due to performance problems.
