It's not like literally all Russian artillery gets destroyed before firing off a single shot. Fuzing absolutely does make a difference

no, it's just that 20-40+ tubes are eliminated DAILY. which is absolutely bonkers. They're losing a division of artillery every couple weeks.

you do realize it takes meatsacks to run the guns right?

and while you may be able to refurb some of the damaged tubes, the meatsacks are gone and you're going to have to train new ones?

no, it's like, mathematically obvious, that literally all russian arty gets destroyed before firing off their second or third salvos, you know, the shots 'fire for effect' cover, the ones that matter?

If you knew squat about field artillery you'd fucking know the first few rounds always require adjustment.

You'd also understand shoot and scoot. Apparently all these concepts are new to you.

What a fucking bellend, wannabe redleg pogue
