Somewhat off-topic, but are off-map arty considered dug-in for assaults/defenses? If so, then isn't it unlikely that anything smaller than 155mm will do any appreciable damage? Thanks for your kind attention. |
Off map are soft. Dug in or not is ignored. Bigger shells firing are better at CB than little ones.
Counter battery is simply an
abstraction - it is something dealt with by higher level commanders than you.
Leave your off map batteries idle, and higher command
may use them to fire on enemy firing off-map units without bothering to ask you. Experience and range of the idle batteries is the main determinant of CB firing, and how big a bang the guns make in determining damage.
That is
all you as a battalion commander need to know.
