Atillery Indirect Fire

[Gordons HQ]

Thanks all as I understand this now
The destructive power of the shell remains the same no matter what.
Shells in flight are subject to a number of variables like the wind factor mentioned.
The further away from the target the guns are the longer the shells are in flight the more they are subject to these variables.
So in the 250m hex the obsreved shells may fall further away from the target the further away these guns are due to these variables
Therefore the destructive power of the shells is reduced the further away they fall from the target.
By bringing the guns closer the shell would spend less time in the flight and would hopefully land on or closer to the target thereby causing more destruction to the target.
Moving the guns of course can be fraught with danger and the pros and cons of such a move would have to be studied to see if it is worth the risk.
I hope this helps anyone who like me was not too sure on the reasoning behind moving indirect Artillery closer to the targets.

Cheers Gordon
