That's a very flat map.
It could be neither the AO or Foo has an LOS in which case the one with the better arty call ability may do it is my guess.

At any case,the A0 is just about as good a the FO in calling in arty (when out of LOS) in scenarios and single battles.

Exception to that "if" the designer made the FO more experinced and/or if the FO has good LOS and not suppressed,then you get the full benefit of a FO class.
