BM-13N spawn bombardment on Poland.
By Qifi
A short guide that will tell you how to land your rockets on enemy spawn from your spawn. This way you can get some sick early-game kills or simply scare the enemy team.

Basics
It is rather simple to hit enemy spawn. For your shots you will be using the "A" cap zone marker. This guide will cover both spawns near city (not the spawns near the lake)

For this I would recommend Arcade Battles, since in RB you are allowed to reload only on spawn points.

Keep in mind that you are still artillery and in this case you are firing "Indirectly" - this means you don't know the exact location of your target and you don't see there. You will be firing above some obstacle - in this case it is the city. You just know the area where your target is - in this case it is spawn. So this way I can't guarantee you kills each time you try this. It's more about luck how the enemy tanks will move and how armored they will be. You are firing HE after all. This means you are able to kill lightly armored vehicles with your blast radius. It is not a problem to kill such things. But don't expect to kill tanks if you don't hit them directly. Which is all about luck since you don't really see them. But even if you don't hit enemy tank directly, you can sometimes at least detrack him or damage his barrel.
Bombarding from the right spawn
Aiming
Begin with turning yourself towards the 'A' cap point marker. You will be using this to correct your shots.


Look at the red lines. Vertical line represents the direction where do you fire. Horizontal line represents how far do you fire.

So to correct your shots:
Vertical line:
The small marker between numbers 16 and 8 should go through the middle of the A point. And that's all.
Horizontal line:
Lower tips of the larger markers (under 32, 24, 16, 8) should be going approximately through the middle of the 'A' point. And that's all.

So you have to make kinda a crossing of both lines in around the middle of the 'A' point.

Remember:
Spawns are all random. You will spawn on slightly different location than I did. So your aiming could be slightly different. Distance should be around the same. Just the location (vertical line) could be slightly different. This image is just showing you how did I get killed on my default spawn location by my friend who was standing on this default spawn location.

Bombarding from the left spawn
Aiming
The aiming is almost the same as in the right spawn.


Again the vertical lines means where are you firing, horizontal line means how far are you firing.

Shot correction
Vertical line: Should be going roughly through the middle of the 'A' point. Slightly to the right side.
Horizontal line: Lower tips of the larger markers should be touching the top of the 'A' symbol.
Firing
When firing you want to cover entire area of the enemy spawn.Don't just fire all your rockets on the same position. Remember that players are not spawning on the same position. They are spawning all around. So just move the vertical line to the left and right, to cover the area of spawn. And also move your vertical line slightly down, to fire some shots shorter. Many of the players are moving out right after spawning. And your rockets take some time to hit. So you want to fire some shorter shots for the people that are already on their way out of the spawn. In other words just fire everywhere. Takes some practise, but it is worth it. Getting some early hits, critical hits or even kills can ruin other person's mood.
End
Remember:
This guide was created from default spawn locations of two random guys from Czech Republic. On the locations where I got killed on my default spawn, by my friend from his default spawn. Each time you spawn, it is on a different position. So take this guide as just an example how to fire. If you don't spawn on the exact same location, your aim lines would be slightly different. Take this guide as how to approximately hit enemy spawn. Don't forget to shake your mouse as best as you can while you are firing. (Not too much of course)

Thanks to
