You are going to have to wait for your HQ to be ready to receive another request for Fire Support. For example, you called in Gunship Support, and want to call in Smoke Artillery next. They are as follows:Īll Fire Support options have a cooldown time until they can be called in again, regardless of type. Pressing 'J' will allow you to switch the kind of fire support to order in.

If beyond the line and the Commander tries to call in fire support, a radio message will play requesting a nearby Observer. If either is behind the line on the meter, air support can be called. There is a meter on the bottom left of the screen that will show for Observers and Commanders showing their respective distances from one another. To call in Fire Support, first select the Binoculars ('4' by default on the keyboard) and make sure that you're close to a friendly observer (when all your friendly Observers are dead, you cannot call in fire support as a Commander, and Observer's can't call in Fire Support by themselves). If there is no Observer and/or Commander, fire support won't be available for use, and the Commander/Observer will comment on the lack of Observer/s or Commander, respectively. At the start of each game, the Commander will get a radio reminder from the operator that fire support is available, if there is a Commander, and a friendly Observer in the squad. There are 5 for the Security Forces, and 5 for the Insurgent Forces.

There are currently 10 types of Fire Support available that can be called in by the Commander class when close to a friendly Observer. Fire Support is a feature in Insurgency: Sandstorm.
