Aircraft and Artillery Intensity

[OldGamer]

I'm still not clear on what the numbers for artillery mean. For example, does 2.4 mean the delay is from two turns to 4 turns? 3.5 is from three to five turns. For the both examples, would 1/3 of the available artillery fire in each turn?

Another question about artillery concerns it accuracy. If the spotter who called in the artillery has a line of sight to the chosen target hexes, is the accuracy of the artillery better?

Thanks again for your help.

Yes, if the observer has LOS to the target the accuracy IS better and there is less scatter. The idea is, an observer with eyes on target can tell the battery right away if there is a gun firing wild of if they need to shift a bit to hit the target so there is immediate feedback that is not available to gunners that are firing blind at a taget behind a hill and therefore spotted targets get better shot patterns.
