This I don't understand :shock:
But as for the difference between artillery and infantry, artillery fire big guns from a long distance and provide support on the battlefield. Infantry close with and eliminate the enemy in close contact. That is as simple as I can think to put it.
Not exactly tanks i dont think, i dont exactly know what they are but these big cannon-type things. They are air lifted from place to place is my idea of artillery but I dont think a tank is classed as artillery.
And yes Infantry as in men (they arent just in jeeps and on foot though, they come in planes, armoured vehicles, choppers everything!)
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INFANTRY, THE ARTILLERY AND THE ARMOURED
HAPPINESS IS . . .
Infantry: A good rifle
Armoured: A big tank
Artillery: A loud boom
UPON HEARING FIREWORKS
Infantry: Cool, just like a live fire excercise
Armoured: Not loud enough
Artillery: Fireworks? What fireworks?
OTHER TRADES
Infantry: Waste of rations
Armoured: Waste of rations
Artillery: Waste of rations
IDEA OF FUN
Infantry: Not having to "pepper-pot" an entire grid square before the objective
Armoured: Racing across a grid square on "full stab"
Artillery: Levelling a grid square
FAVOURITE SONG
Infantry: "Ballad of the Green Beret"
Armoured: "Purple Haze"
Artillery: Anything, just play it LOUD!
BIGGEST LUXURY IN THE FIELD
Infantry: Engineers blowing trenches for them with C4
Armoured: Grunts to dig their trenches for them
Artillery: Cable
A LONG ROUTE MARCH WITH FULL KIT
Infantry: 20 clicks
Armoured: From the hangars to the tank
Artillery: What's a route march?
OFFICERS
Infantry: Are morons and should stay away from the trenchlines
Armoured: Are morons and should stay out of the vehicles
Artillery: Are morons and should stay away from the gun lines
FAVOURITE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION
Infantry: Anything but walking
Armoured: Tanks. Tanks. Tanks. TankstankstankstanksTANKS!
Artillery: Don't you have to move around to require transport?
BIGGEST ***** IN THE FIELD
Infantry: The weather
Armoured: Coffee maker in tank not working
Artillery: Only having basic cable
BREAKFAST IN THE FIELD
Infantry: I don't care what it is, just so long as I can sit down to eat it
Armoured: Hot coffee and rum with a beer chaser
Artillery: Eggs over easy, crispy bacon, sausages, toast and Tim Horton's coffee
WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES
Infantry: Death Techs
Armoured: Cavalry
Artillery: 10 Mile Snipers
WHAT OTHERS CALL THEM
Infantry: Grunts
Armoured: Zipperheads
Artillery: Drop shorts
thanks guys. Because I thought air force bombed a target before infantry did its job. So by artillery you mean tanks and small range rockets? By infantry you just mean soldiers on feet or jeep?
I can't remember what unit it was, but an artillery unit is being MOUT trained to assist the Infantry units over there in Iraq. Kind of says that they might not need so many big guns at this point in the war.
the more the range your Artilarry has more it will be efective....
Actually the more accurate it is, the more effective it will be
To me the actual traditional Artillery is dying as more sufacticiated wepons are coming to light ..................or should i say artelliary is changing form..........
