Not usually.

Its my experience that Artillery is spammed by humans and generally banned for years from servers. You can get arty support on call within parameters and usually with another human participating.

Artillery is one thing I love very much but there is no home for me to do that in Arma 3. Its simply not allowed by the Servers.

The big problem with arty and bombs in particular is if you targeted a barracks with a couple dozen enemies inside of it and mark it for fire, all of your teammates run straight to it and get deleted with you eating the penalty.

I do alot of Air support in the F18 in particular and do not carry bombs for that reason.

That 'game play balance' would have to adjust to player count to make it more challenging.
Sneaking in for hours and calling targets would be an entirely different experience.

Plus there is probably only so many Enemy A.I. any server can handle.
(Just a guess here)
New players expecting COD might not be able to adapt.

Yes, there are several mods for Arma 3 that allow you to play as an artilleryman. Here are a few examples:

ACE3 - This is a comprehensive mod that adds many new features and improvements to Arma 3, including a new artillery system. With ACE3, you can use various types of artillery, such as mortars, howitzers, and MLRS, and fire them manually or with the help of a computerized fire control system.

RHS: Escalation - This mod adds new factions, vehicles, and weapons to Arma 3, including several types of artillery. You can play as a member of the Russian or US military and use various artillery pieces, such as the M109 howitzer, BM-21 Grad rocket launcher, and 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled gun.

CUP Weapons - This mod adds a huge variety of new weapons to Arma 3, including many types of artillery guns and rocket launchers. You can play as a member of several different factions and use weapons such as the M119 howitzer, D-30 howitzer, and RPG-7 rocket launcher.

There are many other mods available that allow you to play as an artilleryman in Arma 3, and some of them may focus specifically on artillery gameplay. You can browse the Steam Workshop or other modding sites to find the ones that best suit your preferences.

i blame your team for not calling in the strikes and waiting till after to run in on attacks such as bombings/artillery as one would think it is support to the infantry to "soften up targets" on the ground especially with guided munitions and i would hope plenty of time to range in the arty to be ready to engage the AO no? or is it to big of an area to cover usually

[WWII] 101st Airborne Division - 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment [NA/EU]

Introduction - Who is the 101st Airborne?

The 101st Airborne Division is a United States ArmA 3 Milsim unit that focuses on portraying the events of the Second World War through the eyes of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment. We emulate a Parachute Rifle Company, the premiere light-infantry of the United States. A rifle platoon consists of three rifle squads. Each section is equipped with a multitude of weapons, ranging from the M1 Garand, M1919 Browning, M1918A2 BAR to the M1A1 Thompson - we also operate a light artillery glider platoon, that utilizes 105mm M2A1 Howitzers

Paratroopers were versatile in World War II, they were deployed to the Pacific, European & Mediterranean theaters. Although we primarily portray the 101st Airborne, we do campaigns focused on other units, and revisioned-history events. Some of these range from the snowy forests of Finland, the luscious jungles of the Pacific, and of course the fields of Normandy. All of our missions are made in-house with a lot of care, thought and interesting elements - such as custom scripted events and interactions that most communities can't pull off.

We have a heavy emphasis on organization and professionalism, but we're still a community. We play together outside of ArmA and build lasting friendships through smoking & joking, discussing operations, and laughing about the wacky moments that pop up during "ArmA" catastrophes.

Are you ready to join the ranks of the best? Become a Paratrooper!
