When FOO is spotting is there a higher hit rate?

[Warmonger]

I'm playing a scenario with 2 FOOs, B0 and S2. B0 has an artillery command factor of 58, S2's is 65. When B0 calls in fire on a new target there's a delay of 3.0, S2 calls in with a delay of 3.3. Based on their artillery factors I would expect the opposite. Does their position in the command hierarchy affect the delay?

Offmap = longer delay than an on-map element.

Experiencecounts as well as art command, and both sides of the pair involved count (firer and observer) as previously advised. So look at the firing unit's statistics as well.

Dont take as gospel but I think artillery command effects the damage caused & possibly grouping of the shots.
Unit experience effects the call time.

This applies to both the spotter & the firing unit & are the major factors after unit type.

Experience also effects off map units counter battery fire, far more likely to happen if unit is exp 80+

B0 experience is 61, S2 is 64. There are 3 firers, 1 on-map and 2 off-map. I tried calling fire with B0 and S2 for each of the 3 firers. The on-map firer times are B0 2.4, S2 3.0; the off-map times are B0 3.0, S2 3.3. Both off-map times are the same.
