When FOO is spotting is there a higher hit rate?

A FOO calls arty faster than A0 and faster than an ordinary CO.

A FOO has less scatter - whether the mission is blind or observed.

As you add FOOs, the count of pre-registered targets goes up a bit.

So - what reason would there be to not have at least one FOO if you have arty assets in your force?.

And most definitely as part of your core, the first item I always buy before any others is an FOO (so he is immediately under A0 on the list - easy to find!). The second thing I buy is my core battery, then my core mortar platoon. I want experienced arty assets.

Experienced FOO (+ experienced firer) = less delay in calling indirect fires.

I never leave home without one
