So a mortar can be spotted by one FO 1, or formation leader 1, and a 122mm can be spotted by FO 2, or formation leader 2.

The trick is not to select the mortar when FO 2 (or formation leader 2) is selected as the spotter. As doing so would change the spotter for fire mission mortar? Or would selecting the specific fire mission for mortar be required to supercede the origional spotter, i.e., if mortar had spotter 1, and I select spotter 2 and then select the mortar would the spotter change automatically, or do I have to physically check the HE fire mission button?

If HE fire mission was selected for both mortar and 122mm, whatever spotter called that mission initially would remain in force despite physically selecting either mortar or 122mm. For example, spotter 1 called the mortar, spotter 2 called the 122mm (both have HE fire mission selected). Now I select spotter three and my Skyraider has no fire mission selected. If I select mortar then spotter 1 remains the spotter for that unit (unless I mess with the firemission), and if I select 122mm spotter 2 remains the spotter for that unit (unless I mess with its fire mission). If I select Skyraider and then select the HE fire mission, spotter 3 becomes the spotter for the Skyraider. If I select no fire mission for Skyraider - it has no spotter - and I have no clue what it would do (probably OP fire?).

If that's how it works, then each respective fire mission can be on opposite ends of theater, but each would be in LOS of their respective spotters. That would be cool and I can definitely use that tactically. I desperately desire to know if I have this correct as LZ-Xray is critical in that regard; indirect fire is less than useful w/out spotter correction.
