how do people usaly react when under artillery fire?

By bleeding, dismemberment, and burning, often all at once.

Civilians duck, then run around screaming and get their shit all fucked up
Soldiers find a hole and find new faith in god, or several gods- best to hedge your bets

Differently.

normal procedure is to jump up 200 feet into the air and scatter yourself over a wide area.

Find a hole. Preferably with a solid but light cover.

>>33315867
This. Anywhere you can float is going to be optimal cover.

>>33315563
Depends on size of arty, accuracy, how used to it they are, the duration of the bombardment, etc. Most US troops just sat around during mortar attacks and didnt give a fuck as the deployment dragged on. But that'd change under accurate, sustained artillery fire. Like I can't imagine getting shelled by triple 7s for days on end. kms

There will be a slight ringing in your ears - fortunately, you will be nowhere near them.

During the First Taiwan Strait Crisis, US Army 240mm Guns on Taiwan shook up the Chinese so badly they thought that they had been nuked.

Russia was never subtle with propaganda but good thing westerners are really dumb and it it up.

Jesus.

Imagine if they had to face a real opponent with an actual artillery branch..

>>33316912
That's pretty fuckin deadly though, they have every right to be paniced. They're in a shack, the British had an armored vehicle to hide under and were in what appears to be a city, so shrapnel isn't nearly as much a threat.
If anything landed close to that shack everyone in it probably would have died.

Most accounts from WWI say that after an hour you start to feel tired, as if you were up for days on end.

guess it depends on what squad you're in

>>33316939
Me and 14 of my closest coworkers were in an open field taking mortar fire for 20 minutes. There wasn't shit to hide under and so we scattered and begged for an an artillery strike that would never come. We popped smoke and broke off in fire teams to put some distance between us. They sent some kind of jet to scare them off but it took a helicopter rooting around to make them leave. We weren't happy about it but nobody broke down or anything. Mostly we just tried to make sure we knew where everyone was and if they were hurt. We didn't even have a medic or someone who knew how to call for fire. They had to talk my squad leader through it while he tried to remember what grid we were in. Those nine line cards with all our points written out were a fucking life saver. I think sitting in a trench is more taxing than scrambling since you're just waiting and praying with nothing to do

>War crimes

I don't think there's a bigger oxymoron in the history of the world than the term "war crime." How in the fuck is anything you do in the middle of a war singled out and labeled a crime when the entire thing in general isn't? I'm not even saying I hate war, I think it's natural. But the problem with labeling stupid shit as war crimes is that everyone throws it out and literally nobody can do shit about it until it's over and one side has won. And then that side gets to determine who is guilty. Gee, I wonder who'll they'll pick...

>just mortars
You do realize mortars come in a variety of sizes, including "really fucking huge", right?

I wish I still had all my pics from Iraq. Kept seeing these little, ~8" black marks on the pavement and going wtf. Platoon sergeant told me they were mortar strikes and I'm like pfft that ain't shit.

Then one hit our motor pool, landed between 2 uparmored LMTV's.
>8" black mark on the pavement
>2 completely shredded and burning trucks, armor didn't stop shit

>>33320397
If the rebels didn't want civilian areas targeted, then should have not stationed combatants there.

>>33321175
>what is poorly made propaganda
The orgasmic noises were some random guy fucking livestock while 2 of his buddies threw shit at the cameraman.

my dad was an artillery man in Vietnam. I always wanted to ask him about the nitty gritty of it but never had to guts.

>>33315620
this

>>33315895
huh, how'd he know to shout "Incoming" before it hits? Is there a noticeable report when the mortar fires?

>>33321366
Can't hear with shitty mic, but there's usually a small "thud" in the distance which is the mortar being launched.

>>33320397
I know he's (rightfully) fearing for his life there, but the "BLYAAAAAAAAT" made be burst out laughing.

>>33315563
HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT

Western 81mm mortars have a pair of holes that make them whistle as they fly through the air so you hear a constant high pitched whistle as they fall before the boom

>>33321284
So what you are saying is.. we should apply pavement to our vehicles.

>>33321581
If you hear it you're good, when it's kind of a wavering rush of air that never quite gets to whistle it's coming for your bunk or way off. Some guys get good at calling short or long over a nearbeer, some guys jump every time.

>>33321582
Or that the blast goes out instead of down

>>33320591

well, nobody is going to call for shit if you only follow orders and don't do anything stupid
war crimes are usually killing civilians, rape,torture,etc.
