Description

Learn how to Call For Fire using both Grid and Polar missions. The training app built for soldiers by soldiers.

Welcome to Call For Fire, the mobile training simulation that teaches you how to Call For Fire and coordinate indirect artillery and mortar fire.

This game will put you in an Observation Post and arm you with a radio enabling you to rain down hell on enemy armoured vehicles and personnel.

This is not your typical shoot em up arcade game. Call For Fire is a training simulation built by soldiers for soldiers. It closely simulates what it is really like to call in indirect fires onto a target.

The Call For Fire is based on the US JFIRE doctrine and will teach you how to coordinate artillery fire in a coalition environment. The game will enable you to learn the art of coordinating indirect fires utilizing both Grid and Polar missions.

By playing this game you will learn:

* Correct RATEL procedures for all stages of the Call For Fire
* How to adjust fires onto Line OT (Observer Target)
* How to correctly bracket a target
* How to send in a BDA (Battle Damage Assessment)

THIS GAME IS FOR YOU IF:

1. You are a coalition soldier and are interested in perfecting your skills at calling for fire.

2. You are a military instructor or commander looking for a tool to teach your soldiers how to Call For Fire.

3. You are a soldier in training and want to get a competitive edge on your call for fire skills.

4. You are just interested in learning how soldiers call for fire on the battlefield.

Great game - thanks for quick response Dev

The game looks amazing. Unfortunately rounds aren’t firing! No splashes are visible and rounds left aren’t going down.

Update - thanks for the response guys changed to 5 stars.
I figured it was a 4 fig grid so dropped the first zero... this would explain why I was out! The thing that had me stumped was the round quantity was not lowering after each fire/repeat/fire for effect. Maybe there’s a bug that would mean if a round lands out of bounds it doesn’t count it?
Thanks for the quick reply and what looks to be an awesome sim :)

Developer Response ,

Hi Andy, thanks for the review and for letting us know that you are having issues with the app. Is this for Polar Missions too? The last update we made to the app (1.0.2) we enabled 10 figure Grids to be displayed in the LRF, however in the Target Location you can only enter 8 figure grids. This means that if you try to enter the 10 figure grid without converting it to an 8 figure grid the rounds will be many kms off. eg GR 12345 12345 will be GR 1234 5123 - meaning you are approx 40km off your target which may explain why you cant hear an impact or see any splash. We are creating a fix for this with the next update, but in the meantime, if you wanted to give it another go, go to Mission 2 and enter GR 0059 0130. This should get you rounds near the target.

Update - Thanks Andy, appreciate your review! Yeah you are right that was part of the bug in v1.0.2. Once the rounds landed out of the visible map the round count did not lower. This should be now fixed in the latest update v1.0.4. The sim will also now not let a user enter a Grid location out of the visible map.

Great virtual training

A fantastic app that allows you to refresh you understanding on the rules of adjustment and mandatory orders. A few differences in VP but every nation does things differently. Good missions, although few in number and basic IN focussed. Would be good to see some variation (danger close, smoke, co-ord illum) in the future!

Great app nonetheless.

Good Concept

Great Idea for an app and well executed if not a little basic.
Would be good to see it developed a little more.

Developers could look to add the following:

Multiple targets in different locations.

Ability to select which barrel you adjust a target with (so you can adjust and record multiple targets concurrently)

Static or moving friendly forces moving toward targets (for you to consider safety of when adjusting, ie) if friendly line of departure is heading from your position towards target it would force you to fire beyond target then creep your adjustments towards it.
Could also Add WP rounds to mask friendly movement.

Night time fire missions in order to incorporate Illume rounds.
