FH 2.4 is BF1.5 only so has BF1.5 AI commander artillery bug

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Fix by linking artillery straight to coop/sp'er - ie. just bypass the AI 
commander.

Not 100% sure what you mean by this?
I assume you mean just adding in the appropriate files (example - 
commander_artillery_allied and britcommradio) so you can apply to be commander 
and use this artillery?

I started a looking at this. It's a just a question of "faking" the commander 
ability. All he does is confirm the order for arty or supplies if they are 
ready (some preset time period has expired), so it's just a question of giving 
the squad commander the ability to directly call arty or supplies, with a timer 
added to prevent overuse. Of course this should not be accessible in MP !

Might be possible if we created a pickup kit that had the ability to call in 
arty/mortars.
I'm not sure it would work on dedi servers, but that would be the least of the 
concerns.
Getting to actually work would be tricky.
You wouldn't actually be calling in the arty like the human commander does, the 
kit would contain binoculars that would act as the weapon.
You'd bring up the binocs, spot a target/location, and hit left click to 'fire'.
Depending on how you set up multiple variables, arty shells would be raining 
down on the location where you 'fired'.
I used to use have this 'weapon system' in my own PR mod, but don't think I 
have those files anymore.
