"Sweeping wide" as you say is completely accurate. (No pun intended ) Artillery is an area weapon, not a point weapon. Depending on the caliber of the on-call assets, the burst radius of a single HE round could be up to 50 meters. You are correct when you say adjusting fire by 10 meters would be pointless because the effect of the artillery would be the same. Actually, being "on target" would be any shell that impacts inside a 50 meter radius of the target. Adjustments are only made until you get that bracket on what you are shooting at. After that, "Steel Rain".
