Towed Artillery

Description

Western Towed Artillery

Eastern Towed Artillery

European Towed Artillery

Artillery is the most lethal form of land-based armament in use today. Designed to fire munitions far beyond the scope of infantry capabilities, towed artillery, such as the M777 Howitzer, can be towed by a land vehicle or transported by either helicopter or plane to any location on the globe. They fire shells in a high trajectory on stationary targets, and are especially effective in preparing assaults on defended positions.

Features

This unit has the following features on its final tier:

• Unlocked with Day 1 Research: Ranged Combat - Maximum distance at which this unit can engage.
• Unlocked with Day 1 Research: Airlift - This unit can be transported between airports/landing strips via airlift. Note that it is completely defenseless while in the air.
• Unlocked with Day 15 Research: Air Assault - Unit can move/attack by using helicopters. When you give the Air Assault command, the unit will board a helicopter and move to the target location by air. If you are attacking a hostile unit, your unit’s first combat tick is executed from the air, i.e. as a helicopter attack. Eastern doctrine gains access to this earlier, whereas the Western doctrine gains access to this later.
