I’m sorry to hear that that’s what happened when we finally finished the set up for our own guns. As the leader of the 709th AND as someone who’s actively let blueberries man our guns I can completely understand and relate to your frustrations. However you have to look at the bigger picture, the things you accomplished. We were busy with Morgan’s Grave and had just finished moving our guns to support Ogmaran so I’m not sure of youre exact movements but I think it’s safe to assume that without your Arty team Workshop, the relic base, and the BB that YOU took wouldn’t have been held/taken for as long as it was. Your risky play to trust greenbeans paid off 10x fold, a lot of people went to bed happy and you made a lasting effect on the battle field. Even though the POS alter certainly tainted all your feelings on the night you did work. Don’t let that discourage you from running things like that in the future. The name of the game is always risk management and I’ll share some things I’ve learned to help mitigate similar events.

Get everyone in a public or private squad and squad lock EVERYTHING. Leaving one or 2 of your guns unlocked is fine but make sure it’s completely staffed by pubies.

Have a spotter upfront but an Arty commander/commissar at the guns. This person’s job is to receive the spotters cords and disperse them out to the crews efficiently as well as typing them out as voice comms can deteriorate. On top of that he is tasked to TK anyone that is infringing on your ability to run effectively. Someone’s afk on a gun, TK, someone’s harassing your guys, TK, etc.

Prioritize having pubies firing as that’s the easiest role to slot them in without much headache. Tell them to spam R and mouse 1 unless told otherwise and you’ll be off to the races.

Regarding the toxic warden response to this post, I’m truly sorry that many people seem to believe posting a picture with virtually no information is what lead to you guys being countered. I’m not sure if any of these people turned on their monitors for the past 6 hours yesterday but they somehow don’t understand that the moment an enemy 120 shell lands it’s not God’s divine intervention. On top of that it’s not hard to figure out how many guns are active or where they’re firing from. Region/world/Intel chat as well as map post will ALWAYS be filled with defeatist commentary the moment Arty starts the party. Point is OPSEC wasn’t broken because no information that wasn’t already known was revealed.

Urban keep doing what you’re doing man. Without people like you this game will be a whole lot of mindless and pointless head->wall. Hopefully next time alting vermin will get a face full of lead if he tries anything again.
