Call For Fire is a rare gem on the App Store: an authentic, technically accurate artillery simulation that manages to be both educational and gripping. It doesn't treat you like a casual player; it expects you to learn the actual procedures used by Forward Observers. The tension of spotting a target, calculating coordinates, and calling in a strike—all while under the pressure of a mission clock—is genuinely exhilarating.
The game uses real-world military doctrine and math, making it a favorite for veterans and military enthusiasts alike. The visual feedback when your shells finally land on target is immensely satisfying, especially after you've spent several rounds 'adjusting fire.' It's a niche experience, but it is executed with a level of polish and dedication to realism that is seldom seen in mobile gaming. It's as much a training tool as it is a game.

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)

Call For Fire is a precision-based military simulation that puts you in the boots of a Forward Observer. Using actual military procedures, you must locate enemy targets, communicate with the FDC (Fire Direction Center), and adjust artillery fire to eliminate threats. Featuring realistic maps and procedures, it's the ultimate test of tactical coordination.
Authentic military JFIRE procedures
Realistic map reading and coordinate systems
Progressive training and mission modes
Technical accuracy praised by professionals
When your first round misses, don't guess. Use the 'OT Factor' (Observer-Target distance divided by 1000) to calculate your lateral shifts. If your shell landed left, multiply the mils by your OT factor to get the correct 'Right' shift in meters.
