Default Re: Should NLOS systems count toward Arty overload?

NLOS weapons are fired more in an ATGM method than an artillery method. It is just like any other ATGM except you do not need line of sight to fire. You do not need aiming stakes, a plotting board, calculation of charges nor do you 'fire for effect' to cover an area.

The M712 Copperhead round might be considered by some to be a guided AT weapon but it is fired using an artillery method,( FO, FDC plotting...etc) and should be considered artillery.

It should stay ATGM and not count for artillery overload.
