Kanonier

'"Artillery is the god of war." -Joseph Stalin'The Kanonier mans the artillery, giving the Soldat much needed support. You can be the most deadly man on the battlefield or be completely useless. Unfortunatly this can be dependent on your other soldiers, but the skilled kanonier can be a potent force all on his own.

Your Kannon
This is your kannon. Keep it safe, and learn how to use it. It will spawn in the german courtyard, near the tool supply room.

The kannon needs to be wrenched into place before it can be used. Grab one from the tool supplies nearby. It can also be dragged, and taken on the train. Remember your wrench!

Operating the Kannon
The kannon can seem intimidating, but it's easy to use.

Basic kannon operation: The rest of the boxes are rarely used if ever. If you missed a step, or forgot one there will typically be a notification of what to do next.
 * Open shell slot
 * Insert shell (Hold shell in active hand, click the "no shell" button in the menu)
 * Close the shell slot
 * Input coordinates into the "Fire at X/Y coordinate" box
 * FIRE!

How to get coordinates
Obtaining coordinates is by far the hardest part of a kanonier. Coordinates can only be obtained from other soldiers in the scout or command roles. It's best to talk to these players directly, or on the radio, and let them know that you are ready to receive coordinates. How succesful you are as a kanonier depends on those coordinates, so don't be shy about asking for them.

No one is giving me coordinates
If no one is giving you coordinates, or everyone who can obtain them is dead, don't give up! You can still use your cannon to great effect, if a bit more risk. You're kannon has a blind-fire option. The blind-fire range is very short compared to how far you can shoot with designated coordinates, so you will have to move your kannon to the front (using the train ideally). Make sure you don't forget your ammo and wrench!

A good place to blind-fire from is the house before the bridge. A "south/long" shot should hit right around the bridge, or in the town. Try to communicate with other soldiers to get a better judge of where your shots are hitting.
