Call For Fire

The developers of the game have had so many requests for new content, however they choose to keep ignoring their players. We didn't expect a full AAA game but acknowledgment towards the players dedicated to such a small app would have been appreciated. Where's the new levels, new content and an increased difficulty element that everyone's been asking for over such a long period. The original players have been continuously let down by this development team and their sham business model - sad!

- Gary Thorn · v1.37

Came back to see if it was any better. Not really. I severely hope no young 13Fs in the US Army try this and think it will help them in training. Sloppy, incorrect in Call For Fire procedures and too much focus on rock theme song and some graphics.

- Azrael Knightquest · v1.27

Just a request, will you add button or option to mute the radio transmission during fire mission but not the sound of explosion. this will be a good improvement specially for the training of students. Thank you.

- Mark Andrew Badilla · v1.37

Please develop a Close Air Support (9-line CAS) simulator to coordinate fixed wing, rotary wing, and AC-130. Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) missions would be a nice addition too.

- Mike Chernyak · v1.36

11c

Miss the days of being a chuck this close to being back. I wish it gave the options to ask for types of rounds nothing like dropping some WP.

- ArcticPicks · v1.0.11

Nice Try but not reflective of real world

Nice concept and program but as a proficient real life Fire Supporter, the corrections do not correlate with reality at a basic level.

- FSO 1AD · v1.0.11

nice simulator good for training

- Atakan Dag · v1.34

Shot over!

Great refresher on call for fire. I only have problems reading the numbers off the binoculars. The font could be bigger. Glad to see still upgrading!

- KAwaii in Hawaii · v1.0.11

Level 16! Please help

On level 16 after the bug fix update I still cannot fire more than one round down range. After impact, the buttons do not show up on the screen for me to adjust etc.

- Hoytbowhunter09 · v1.0.11

Bravo 4 zero

Bug on level 16 still needs fixed, but great simulation. Takes me back to my days training to be a Fire Supporter at FT. Sill.

- Bravo 4 Zero · v1.0.10

Mission 16

Who are the insurgents in mission 16 ? There are people standing on hilltops, moving in and out of the tree line etc. The convoy always gets attacked before adjusting fire impacts and I haven’t even figured out if I’m targeting enemy or friendly. Otherwise, I love the game as is. Thank you for updating with additional missions. I had them before on Google Play, but not on IOS. More future missions would be great, if I can get past # 16.

- SFMF~0331 · v1.0.9

Please make a mission editor, as well as more terrains!! This is a great simulation game, it should be more replayable! 🙏🙏

- 王威寒 · v1.34

MISSION 16!!

The mission literally will not let me pass. I’ve tried effectively killing the 3 guys actively moving on the hill-didn’t pass despite killing them prior to convoy reaching them. I’ve tried shooting the hillside where it shows the “target” on the after actions-despite it killing the guys all prior to convoy reaching them… still didn’t pass. If there’s a solution to this I’d love a response. Or even an update.

- Notmyname41 · v1.0.9

Good start, hope for more updates and more mission types

Great new missions for this game except for mission 16. It’s impossible to complete, objective is not clear enough and those two trucks get destroyed no matter how fast my call for fire is or how many troops I kill. Message to observers take way too long and is generally just time consuming by how slow it is. First round impacts are guaranteed to be inaccurate which is a bit frustrating considering it takes 45 seconds to make a correction and see the next impact. Would be great if this game included more mission types in the call for fire and be able to use MOE and MOF/C. It would be really cool to have more variety in a mission.

- Ragnar556 · v1.0.9

Excellent and realistic Artillery trainer. Especially good that it's in Spanish. good job fellas!

- Ed Ramirez · v1.34

Sound

Cannot get the sound to work anymore, tried deleting and reinstalling still wont work please help. Love the game.

- Connor Dufford · v1.0.6

It’s okay

It’s impossible to get first round effects in this sim. On grid missions it says I put the exact grid of the enemy location yet the first round is way off, makes it impossible to beat mission 10.

- Noah Crust · v1.0.6

Love it. Absolutely unmatched for on the fly training. Things I would love and pay for in later version: - sh/fz combo to train weapon target match. - Creatable scenarios/seeded procedurally generated sims to generate novel but repeatable situations. - Ability to turn on/off range estimation to work on mil-relation.

- Randy Higgins · v1.27

Kinda cool some minor bugs

- Jake S · v1.27

Good military grade training aid. OP practice. Unfortunately, on my new Galaxy 4 Flip4 (OS: Android 13), the games "ADJUSTMENT" screen cuts off the right display panel below the "ROUNDS" entry field. Only two white arcs to suggest that there are buttons. A shame. I played with it on my previous with no problem.

- Orrin C. Kerr · v1.25

Question for developers

Hey guys I’m trying to use this with a paper map to work on paper grid work. What is the location of the OP so I can get the correct map?

- KyleCurabba · v1.0.6

Just great!

- Barry de Munck Mortier · v1.25

Whens the next update??

- Connor linchet · v1.25

Fun simulator

Awesome amazing. Left me wanting more Fire missions. Please can you create more.

- chuch81 · v1.0.6

Very awesome game! One of a kind! Definitely needs more levels, along with weapons and different ammo types!

- Gage Stepek · v1.12

Great App!

Recently branched FA and was looking for something to help refresh my CFF before FABOLC and this did the trick! Only complaint is the limited amount of situations, would be great to see different terrain and more complex missions! Great Job!

- D.miller0302 · v1.0.6

Brilliant… more please…

Best $2 I ever spent, LOL. Excellent playing experience and concept. This plays like you are a scout/recon and calling in from a fixed observation point on ground. I’d like to see this expand. The fire direction experience seems realistic (based on watching lots and lots of Ukrainian vids of the directed arty). For distant objects it gets really hard to judge… maybe add a simple drone option that player can get a temp vertical view to assist with distant targets to better observe around hills, but limited it’s flight time during mission? (Keep it simple by just changing a player POV to a 1000ft above current location?). Would love more enhanced sound experience… like distant soft thump of outgoing, shell sounds traveling overhead to entertain while you wait for splash. And maybe add sound delay between visible distant explosion and when it is heard at player position, as it is delayed over distances like 2 or 3 km (but maybe that would upset people who are arcade minded vs reality minded - so a “realism on/off choice”). Really crazy would be impact concussion ring (that expanding ring of shockwave that blows grass down on explosion)? I don’t ask for much right? And missions… please, more of them. How about a set of Randomizing missions based on target classes. In-motion convoy missions, where target can’t leave road due to terrain conditions (muddy fields, or gets trapped in them), etc, e.g., mission is to hit lead and rear and then decimate the line. This has been incredibly fun for $2. But existing missions are completed quickly and becoming repetitive reducing repeat playability which is key. Absolutely love this game.

- FW190-A6 · v1.0.6

Game makes an 8 digit grid alot larger then they actually are. I will enter the grid of the hostile forces in a long with the direction for a grid fire mission and it will land a good 50-100M away. Same with polar fire mission.

- Gregg · v1.25

The only problem I have is the Radio operations when your trying to lay rounds on target when it comes to combat situations, no body talks that calmly when it comes to that, and when you put in the 10 digit grid it lands you 500 m off target when it's suppose to be 10 m off target I believe to make it seem better fix the Como guys speed so that your not wasting five minutes trying to log info, and do a 8 or 6 digit grid it will let's you adjust and actually make it feel real.

- Tom Fontana · v1.25

Really great

I never write reviews or should I say rarely write them. This “game” was great. Not only was it a realistic experience but just very pleasant and almost relaxing listening to the voices go through the Call for Fire process. Really brought back some memories of training in NTC! Hope they plan on creating more scenarios. Mountainous terrain while using and actual map to determine location would be amazing but I understand likely not at all easy. Either way this is a great job by the developers. Thanks!

- Mapkos13 · v1.0.6

Really cool game, but I think my LLDR is lying to me because I'll lase my target and try both polar and grid missions, I'll even cheat and use the info from the AAR and the "grid given" will be nowhere near the target. Helps with my adjustments, but to see my grid as 800m off target after I lase it is kinda frustrating. Keep up the good work though! *Edit* I just saw the reply from the devs and I should've known that already. Still an awesome app!

- Levi Cearbhall · v1.12

Loads of fun. Need a sequel!

- ken ciszek · v1.25

Brings me back to fort Sill. The two basic call for fire missions were fun to go over after years of being out the military. I would wish they would add more fire missions for instance coordinated illumination and being able to use the 15 corrections of call for fire would only make this game even better besides that I'm hoping you continue the improvements and make it even better than what it is now

- Antonio Matinez

ADJUST FOR FIRE PROBLEM

I’m using an iPhone 11 and the game is fantastic except for the fact that when adjusting fire, adding “up” distance isn’t working properly. Adjusting right, left and down works just fine. Disappointing because much of the gameplay is very real, especially with the radio play between the observer and fire control.

- BETICUSMAGNUS · v1.0.6

Cool

Best artillery simulator

- 13,.: · v1.0.6

Very nice, keep going mate

- Guilherme Oscar · v1.25

Enjoyed this CFF Sim. However, I would love more than 15 missions. By the time I completed 15 missions, I was good enough to want some more challenges. Perhaps CFF from the air using grid, or alternative munitions? Great sim. 1 bug, sometimes your polar doesnt move to next phase of issue warn if your direction isnt 4 digit starting with zero. Makes sense, but there is no validation, so the PTT button doesnt do anything. E.g. when entering a direction of 393 instead of 0393.

- Charles O · v1.25

BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!🎉🥳🥳🥳

This is PHENOMENAL! The first EVER CFFT on the AppStore! There’s SO much potential to this new app. I’m sure that it will immediately have the support of next to all Fisters. Many people are requesting more complicated missions such as coordinated alum, or to utilize fuses such as Time, delay, VT, etc. (which would be awesome) but I would like to request a more traditional method of target location. I would LOVE to see a compass, map, and protractor added to the game for the sake staying sharp on traditional methods of target location. Considering how new this app is, it deserves a 10/10!!🥳 Waiting in anticipation for more to come. 💯🇺🇸

- Memy1251 · v1.0.6

Great app to build from

Out freakin standing, building a CFF app. I was happy to pay for it. I love the realism for how to CFF. My few critiques would be; speed of the computer read backs (I would like to Challange myself with speed but it’s hard with a slow computer), add more types of missions (SFKP, immediate suppression, maybe some CAS or CCA), and make it harder terrain features (mountains to force using elevation adjustment). One more thing, make the guns more accurate. I want first round steel on steel. Great job developing this, I would definitely do in app purchases to add some of the things listed above.

- Ura Snotsucker · v1.0.6

An awesome sim in my pocket!

I am a 13A in the US Army. This sim is a great tool keep an edge on the basic skills you need to direct rounds into a target. I hope more missions are on the way as well as shift from a known point. Outstanding app!

- MightyELI · v1.0.6

As a RTO my first year in the Fleet…

…I of course had to learn to call for fire and call for a MedEvac. A radio operator truly has the power of life and death on his back in the form of the infernal PRC-77. This game is STILL the $h¡t! I hope you’ll keep updating it. It CAN be a little tricky estimate vertical range and I hope you guys will make it little clearer. May e I just need to use the rangefinder more? 🤔

- MaxxHead · v1.0.6

Bloody fantastic

- manu malagatti · v1.25

It feels realistic and the graphics is good for a simulation but it needs more mission or maybe make a custom mission generator because 15 missions isn't enough. I expected more for a 2 dollar app

- Crispy Fry · v1.25

Outstanding instruction tool for calling for fire. Applicable to US military as well. I would love to see a 9 line tutorial from you guys.

- N D · v1.25

Awesome game

- connley pettymore · v1.25

No WP rounds for infantry in the open? What a shame..

Cool sim, the laser designator must not be accurate if first round is 200m off target but keep it up guys.

- Davo scjdbd · v1.0.6

Being in the military sucked but calling for fire was always awesome.

Not a lot of people would say they would pay a lot of money to just get to do their MOS one more time but if you called for fire as an MOS than you probably would. This game brings you back to the most fun part of being in the military for forward observers or as you say know FISTers (that doesn’t sound politically correct 😉). If someone makes an app where users can do a 9 or 6 line fire mission for air support I would pay a lot for that. Who doesn’t want to remember directing aircraft to drop bombs as a teenager? Fun times. Thanks for recreating some of that with this app.

- FODragoom · v1.0.6

Y’all messed up

In game he calls up Observe target direction after MTO. When would you ever put direction after the MTO?? That’s should be in the second transmission by doctrine. Or maybe I’m just dumb.

- HelloItsMe24500 · v1.0.6

Saint Barbara look out!

Awesome, but like others said I wish it was more in depth. As is it scratches a redleg itch for former FiSTers looking to nerd out. Having trouble getting audio to work…otherwise I’d rate the app 5 stars.

- Red 5 Delta · v1.0.6

Great game. Only thing I wish it had was from the Foo point of view and proper packets as you send up your msn. Along with orders to the guns like check firing , cease loading etc. I'm a Canadian foo and this app has helped me practice. Would be nice to choose factions ie USA Canada UK etc to practice, ie to practice your own countries doctrine either as a foo or all arms call for fire. Other then that it's a great game with plenty of potential in the future to help future foos and infantiers.

- Eric Small · v1.25

So accurate it made me miss doing it in real life.

- Aaron Cook · v1.25

Off to a great start! Can you add a compass, map and protractor for us old time FOs? Need method of engagement and method of fire control, plus different round/fuse combos.

- Timothy Pavey · v1.25

Really interesting

I’m not in the military but I was curious to see how this worked. I definitely took me some time to figure out the OT line and how it relates to my the target. I’m interested to know why my first target rounds are softer so far off. I’m certain I’m inputting the correct numbers. Is it wind and weather factors? Or just to make the game interesting? Obviously if it was correct on the first shot, it wouldn’t be very challenging. But what am I correcting for? Incorrect calculations? Adjusting for wind and weather etc.? I guess what I want to know is if my data is correct why am I adjusting for inaccuracy of the fire. Hope this makes sense I know I’m not using correct terms.

- Theodorious · v1.0.6

Update with like a sandbox with different targets and add smoke rounds?

- kngkllr463

Review

I think the app is pretty cool but I have an issue. Some how, some way I always have a TLE of like 250+ even though the sim uses a simmed LLDR. If I input the targeting data, which should be 100% accurate, I should get first round effects or at LEAST a TLE of less than 100. Today I did a laser polar mission and first round landed no s***, short 170 left. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app to see if there is a bug or anything to be fixed. Still, after a little less than a year of using the app, the problem still persists. I’d love to see the app go more in depth with FiSt stuff. Maybe get some smoke or illum missions in there. It would be cool if vehicle ID was part of the end grading.

- Sdf3275 · v1.0.6

Fire for Effect Over

As a former Fister (FO) I would love see this improved. It’s got a lot of the basics and the music is on point. I’ve not played all of the missions yet, but I definitely look forward to them. I really hope to see some different missions like smoke, shake and bake, and coordinated illumination missions. It would really be awesome if it was brought up to par with the CFFT.

- THE T1NMAN · v1.0.6

Pretty good, pretty accurate. But doesn't take the subtention rule into account unfortunately and not much content. Would be good if there was a random fire mission generator.

- Henrik Parsgaard · v1.25

Great for basic CFF

Would love to see you guys expand the game with illum and SEAD missions, CAS, and NGF. If you do, this app will be invaluable for 0861’s and 13F’s.

- Ninjamedic343 · v1.0.6

Amazing

This is great! About as realistic as can be for a simulation. Please make a second one or add more levels! Fantastic

- Screenmemory · v1.0.6

Don't want to work right after the new updates. Too many glitches.

- justin ray · v1.25

Great to work cff

- Wayne S · v1.25

Love it wish there were more missions

Really enjoyable pretty spot on and pretty close to the call for fire simulators we have in the Corps I just wish there were more missions and maybe a map with a multiple targets and no time/ammo limits. Also I’d love to see compases and maps integrated into this game/simulator but overall it’s really good I look forward to the updates! Well worth the money

- asd23(8c$v · v1.0.6

Used this working up to calling in fire live. Helped me understand OT factor and solidified my confidence in the bracketing technique. As an Infantry dude, the arty OP guys were impressed when it came to doing it live and that success I have attributed to this app. Albeit myself being Canadian, the Aussies being in NATO, do it the same way. Great app.

- ICE MAN · v1.25

Super dope

Love this game. It has helped me work on formulas and different types of missions while off work. Please make more levels or a custom mission mode!

- NOC-A · v1.0.6

Great App but

Great app, love it, but with my new iPhone I’ve lost sound. Need to get that fixed.

- grgldvz · v1.0.6

Great CCF practice Very simple and fun game to play and practice bracketing and adjusting fire. Only complaint would be: limited by the number of missions, I wish there was a random mission generator or something along the lines of that.

- Robert Tang · v1.25

Please update and make more missions

Great game but if you could add different rounds and different effects on target that would be awesome.

- fuller0811 · v1.0.6

Only 10 mission for a paid game. Not worth to buy. Poor swipe control (no option to disable the invert mode) & poor joystick control sesitivity. Lack of user guid to explain every millitary terms. Communication between observer and mailman takes too long. Please improve & add more missions. I had finished all missions in just few hours only.

- rexalleo danielle · v1.12

Great game but...

I’m using an iPad 12.9 4th gen and I’m not getting any volume or vibration. Please fix this ASAP. Game is great otherwise. Oh and can you make the graphics a bit more realistic, it’s 2021 😊👍🏾

- Dre's Music · v1.0.6

Audio doesn’t work

Downloaded on my iPhone and it has no audio. Needs to be corrected, if not I would like my money back. Other than that it’s a good app and has a lot of details. Wish I was a little faster on the message to observer

- 90r3rnfi · v1.0.6

Amazing

Very fun and very well done call for fire sim. Is there anything planned for the future?

- Duncanc0189 · v1.0.6

Excellent!

Very interesting and engaging sim! It’s a lot of fun and easy to learn. Would love to see more from this developer! Maybe a CAS sim where you could level up and unlock different aircraft? Or more levels to Call for Fire where a battle is going on and the overall outcome depends on your speed and accuracy as on observer? Keep up the good work!

- P@ranoid · v1.0.6

EDIT- Its ok, I wasn't seeing my distant misses! OK I am in love. Where can I get the full game? Its realistically difficult and I love that!! My only suggestion is dont point out where the enemy is. Mind you, its a trainer, I can imagine maybe you don't get told where the enemy is in the main game. I need the air game!! Where can I get it? Perfect game for me this is. Perfect..

- Bubblezov Love · v1.12

As a Forward Observation Officer in the Artillery, I think this simulator is very well done.

- Ryan Rolls · v1.12

Good start!

Just build on this. Figure out how to add polar and shift, immeadiate supp, smk. Also, make the length width an optional entry. Other than that, if the millennials are gonna be on there phones, at least they can use this app to keep 1SG off of them and me. Ok you added polar, thank you! Maybe a sandbox mission...for customization???!!! Keep it up! OR...MAYBE do some close air support (CAS)....that would be good, pass the targeting data to a JTAC or a FAC(A)....keep working it. I push the app whenever I can.

- Martian39 · v1.0.6

Out-f'ing-standing

- Eric Pell · v1.12

Good basic simulator, would be good to know bit more e.g GTL I assume it is always full zone. Options to change from PD to Prox and different types of missions not just IN. Requires more missions for 1.99 and you only get 10 missions.... Come on !!! Must take seconds to design missions?

- Luke Jackson · v1.12

Bought this knowing there wasn't much content. But being that it's a simulation & not your traditional game I wanted to support the developer anyway. Problem is there's just not enough to do & it seems pretty much abandoned. I know it's not a traditional game but it's missing many features military personnel have requested. It just seems really incomplete & a "one and done" sort of deal that you can blow through in a couple of hours. Feels severely incomplete.

- dc9wilson · v1.12

Good app

Great idea and seems it would be very helpful but I can’t get any rounds after my initial round. I try to adjust it and never see a splash.

- it wont work please fix it · v1.0.6

Love the app. Would like the ability to adjust fire with range and divination correction at the same time and proper round selection instead of having ICM for everything. I know it's not ICM actually being fired but the ability to call proper rounds for the appropriate target, shake and bake ( white phosphorus followed by high explosive) for a fuel depot would be sweet.

- Patrick Mcelhinney · v1.12

Good game for gunners. Please include airburst missions and smoke too.

- Sarfaraz Nawaz · v1.12

Nice.

- Viktoras Fujus · v1.12

The LLDR is off like majorly or the GTL is is off either way its a good training tool. I was a FISTER for 14 years.

- Steven Kranick · v1.12

Would like to see more in depth missions ( coordinated illum, immediate suppression, or even some smoke missions to screen friendly movement.) Other than that good time killer.

- sean hollis · v1.12

The way the gameplay works is how we actually call for fire during training. It was recommended to me and a few others by an E-6 from our unit, this really helps with understanding the concept

- J0LT · v1.12

Amazing app

- Knightwing · v1.12

Great app, much potential for expansion!!

I’d like to see a future version that involves CAS, danger close fire missions and to give an even greater edge add in phase lines and conditions to be set. Maybe even add in WP/RP. Possibly additional missions for night operations involving ILUM. A lot of potential to be had here.

- JakeFstateF95 · v1.0.6

Amazing games!!

- Kevin Flanagan

Great training aid for young digs tryna put warheads on foreheads

- uwot m7 · v1.12

I love it. I wish you could do more with your artillery, GPS, maybe add different type of options to call in. Not just artillery, maybe missile or drone strick. A-10 scraffing etc

- Ian Moravec · v1.12

Good, but currently feature-limited. The ability to call in different kinds of fire missions (like CAS using JTAC protocols, and different artillery types for different targets) would be fantastic. Easily a 5-star if devs add the above.

- Brian Raff · v1.12

Great

11A here. Not bad at all. Good use of an app! Love the tutorial and the radio calls. Wish you could swap up what round comes in, example for airburst, smoke, delay, 81mm, 120mm, 60mm, or CAS. Also fixed targets like buildings, counter battery, and terrain denial.

- Masoncole · v1.0.6

Awesome but needs more

This game/trainer is awesome. Things are a little different then I was trained but overall it is fun. We NEED new levels and add in different type of fuses and rounds. Smoke, illum, air burst, delayed, HEVT, the list goes on. I’m just excited to call in Arty again!

- Cam8675309 · v1.0.6

Great Job! Things to note

19D here, overall great job with the meat and potatoes of the simulator itself. Things to think about: - Ability to fire grid missions using terrain association off of a map. - Polar missions could use the up/down elevation adjustment after distance and direction - for grid missions I’ve always used “GAD” grid altitude and direction, calling it on the same line - more scenarios Overall: Would highly recommend to soldiers to sharpen their skills right there in their pocket. Truly a one of a kind app. Keep up the good work! Scouts out

- TyingKnotz · v1.0.6

I want to see more missions

As a cav scout this is pretty sweet to use to practice Call for fire. I wish that there where more complex/ difficult missions, more variations in targets and a more user interaction in regards to the radio. Over all I enjoy the game!

- scout smith · v1.0.4

Not working

I can’t get the rounds to fire at all

- USArmySean · v1.0.2

LOVE IT!

As a retired US Army 13F, I love this game! I’m glad to see the update with polar missions. Please keep developing this game! I’d GLADLY pay for in-app purchases to make my own missions. The only criticism I have is the OT factor calculator is a little weird and not something I’m used to. Maybe an option to turn it off or hide it? THANK YOU, YOU ROCK!

- Fisterforlife · v1.0.2

Fantastic

Fellow FIST brothers, this is the app for you! Graphics are great and making the adjustments are awesome. My only wish would be for more round choices like HE/WP, illum missions, or time rounds. Awesome app!!

- Sam915@@@ · v1.0

Forward observer

I am an actual currently serving 13F, the idea is great, but I can’t get ANY effects on target, even with using the reticle and the OT factor I still can’t manage to put rounds on target, I might be doing something to make the sim freak out but it throws my rounds completely off target with the right adjustments

- Big red actual · v1.0

Corrections left right not working

Corrections on the simulator have bugs. Would Input spotting and OT factor but then makes a correction with the distance Instead . Needs fixes. FFE Needs to be fixed; would hear impact with no impact

- jackal1908 · v1.0
