Artillery Leader vs Inf Leader

[MR. LOOSE MOOSE]

So after reading the descriptions, then now the Artillery leader only does artillery?

What would an artillery leader do for combat infantry? Nothing?

Im just checking....

No, it still works normally, but it gives Radio to all arty, even those who don't have it.

Does an Artillery leader function the same as Infantry leaders when commanding infantry

[Tardigrado el oso ovalado]

yes, it is a normal leaderwith the arty leader trait, which gives radio and an additional -25% dispersion to tube arty, the leader part isn't changed at all

Yes, but given the high price and the trait you have a strong incentive to use artillery leaders to buff artillery, and to use infantry leaders to buff infantry

Artillery leaders do a couple things to tube based artillery within it's influence. Keep in mind that rocket artillery and offmaps aren't affected by these.

1. It provides radio to those that do not have it. Meaning it can have increased accuracy with a set up radio network
2. It reduces the dispersion of shots by a whopping 25%

This means that artillery leaders can now turn even some of the worse artillery pieces into something kinda worth using. You can still use them as leaders like most have been doing but there is now a bit of a choice if you have artillery that could benefit massively from this leader being nearby.

but it also said mortars are not affected

so
howitzers : dispersion reduction (1) , dispersion reduction and aim time decrease (from radio)
mortars : dispersion reduction and aim time decrease (from radio)
mlrs : dispersion reduction and aim time decrease (from radio)

?????

No bonuses for MLRS or mortars except for basic leadership bonuses (but you can use every other leader type for that, not arty one)

[seashell]

look at the wording of the tool tip

it said reduce dispersion , except mlrs and mortars , give all artillery radio .

also artillery leader does not have a normal leader trait, so no experience increase.

my reading comprehension leads to that.

It increases veterancy level as previously, nothing changed in this department. You can check this in the game, not to hard or time-consuming

Does anyone know the exact location of artillery leader trait in ndf files?
