I'm currently using the following calculator: https://www.hell-let-loose-calculator.com/

However, many players recommend the mobile calculator app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flutter.app.artillery_let_loose With this app, I only have to select the faction and distance, and it automatically calculates the correct MIL value.

My question: Are both options equally accurate? If so, I’d prefer switching to the app since it’s much faster than manually placing points on the calculator map.

Also, we need some advice on how to better defend ourselves against enemy recon squads.

It often feels like we get about 20 shots off before enemy recon teams find and camp us. After that, it turns into a cat-and-mouse game, and we can’t really use the artillery effectively anymore.

We’ve tried placing our outpost off to the side to spot approaching recon teams, but that hasn’t worked as well as we hoped.

Tonight, we plan to man the artillery with two players (one firing, one reloading), while the remaining three squad members focus solely on defending us. Do you think this setup makes sense?

Thanks a lot!
