## What is Call For Fire?

Welcome to Call For Fire, the mobile training simulation that teaches you how to Call For Fire and coordinate indirect artillery and mortar fire.

This game will put you in an Observation Post and arm you with a radio enabling you to rain down hell on enemy armoured vehicles and personnel.

This is not your typical shoot em up arcade game.  Call For Fire is a training simulation built by soldiers for soldiers.  It closely simulates what it is really like to call in indirect fires onto a target.
 
The Call For Fire is based on the US JFIRE doctrine and will teach you how to coordinate artillery fire in a coalition environment.  The game will enable you to learn the art of coordinating indirect fires utilizing both Grid and Polar missions. 

By playing this game you will learn:

* Correct RATEL procedures for all stages of the Call For Fire 
* How to adjust fires onto Line OT (Observer Target)
* How to correctly bracket a target
* How to send in a BDA (Battle Damage Assessment)

1. You are a coalition soldier and are interested in perfecting your skills at calling for fire.

2. You are a military instructor or commander looking for a tool to teach your soldiers how to Call For Fire.

### 5/5 — 訓練としてできる

*2026-05-01*

前進観測のやらなければいけない事がしっかりと詰まってて訓練になる。
英語も分かっておけば共同訓練のときに役に立つ(経験済み)

### 5/5 — 11c

*2025-11-10, version 1.0.11*

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.

### 2/5 — Nice Try but not reflective of real world

*2025-09-27, version 1.0.11*

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

### 5/5 — Shot over!

*2025-06-20, version 1.0.11*

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!

### 5/5 — Level 16! Please help

*2025-06-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Bravo 4 zero

*2025-06-07, version 1.0.10*

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.

### 3/5 — Mission 17 is impossible to clear

*2025-05-03*

Destroy infantry or destroy vehicles But can’t clear.

**Developer response:** Hi sorry about level 16! you are right there is a bug. We will get this fixed and release an update soon. Update: New version has now been released with a fix for this bug, please let us know what you think

### 4/5 — Mission 16

*2025-04-06, version 1.0.9*

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.

### 4/5 — MISSION 16!!

*2025-04-04*

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.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review and sorry for the radio silence. We have just seen your review and looked at level 16 and yes there is a bug. We will try get this patched and release an update soon. Sorry for all the frustration this may have caused! Update: New version has now been released with a fix for this bug.

### 3/5 — Good start, hope for more updates and more mission types

*2025-03-30*

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.

**Developer response:** Hi sorry for the issues with level 16, this should be fixed now with the latest update, there was a bug that prevented you from passing the mission even if you killed all the insurgents.  As for first round impacts always being off, this was by design. The original purpose of the app was for soldier to practice the process of adjusting onto a target, so we have deliberately added a random offset for the first round impacts.  We are looking into further mission types, thanks for the feedback it is appreciated!
