Are you being sarcastic?

Not only was spotting and artillery direction the original & primary function of military flight in WW1, well preceding the development of the armed interceptor, it has also been done before in a WW1 on-line sim.

In Dawn of Aces, written by iMagic back in the mid-Nineties, it was possible to type a target's map co-ordinates into the chat-bar and call in ranging shots followed by a small artillery barrage.
It was certainly imaginative and original back then, and I'm glad to see the feature has been revived in this present-day evocation.

But new to sims it ain't.
