Because that is an ATGM - an instantly available direct-fire weapon that can also opfire against enemy units. And has direct-fire weapon ATGM rules (it can be dodged or the firer can be opfired, for example) There is no remote firing battery, no requirement for comms with same, and no fire delays. Also, loss of the observer leads to loss of the round (which is actually sitting in an arty piece back aways), not just a designator.

So - not really doable by that kludge.

(The indirect arty mission type IDF_COPPER has been in the SP2 code since the start - but is not actually implemented. So SSI thought of it, but did not/could not do it.)
