[TRPs]

OK, I can see now they can be quite useful in certain situation. I will try employing them in my defence from now on..

Yes we are getting of the time period, but...

I know that British FO use the GPS on flat terrain i.e. desert, by giving the guns cp the FO loc stat. Then using a laser range finder give a correction to the target from their own location. So in effect you are giving a target location as your position then applying a correction. You want to hope the guns cp apply the correction. I see that as a risky business.

Back to TRP..are they worth their value?

And even unmoved tanks benefit from them. Unmoved defending vehicles also have camoflage bonus.

On defending Veh. Does "hidding" have any real advantage. I had TDs in hidding and then just open up without orders. This can be frustrating if I am trying to plan a ambush.

[QB] Well, I did my service as a FO.

So have I BDB, actually still serving RAA(Reserve)

Have to agree on the way arty can react so quickly and with accuracy with modern equipment.

Takes the art out of artillery.

However TRP or Registered Targets are still required for defensive positions.

They are circulated throughout the whole position, i.e. Coy Commanders, Battery Commanders and up the chain it goes.

This helps the Commanders structure their defence and enable quick response from the guns if data is already set in the computers, ready to pass line to the guns

It also aids for quick reference to everybody on the position if enemy sited in the vicinity of "Twin Peaks"(VS1201)

Anyway what I want to know aren't TRP useful for direct fire weapons such as anti-tank guns?

I saw something about "bore sighted". This must mean an increased chance for a hit/kill, does it not?

What other weapon platforms can benefit from their use?

I generally use my HT for two roles.

First is to move heavy weapons around the battle field, Mortas and HMG being genarally slow and cumbersone. (this was mentioned early)

Second is to use them as a Ready Reaction Force in defence and a Reserve Force in attack.

I never commit them early as they are "soft" targets even for HMGs
