Even mechanical time fuses?

Bullethead,

I was thinking that this got covered in the thread 2 weeks ago regarding FO's but after doing a search I discovered that you were in fact the one who was contributing the most to that thread and it was VT fuses that were confirmed to be in and not mechanical ones. Perhaps someone a little more informed on CM could jump in and clear the issue of mechanical fuses (and their inclusion) for us!

Thanks,

Madmatt

Perhaps in volume but Los was better for content.

Yeah, I'd sure like to know about that. Also, what about calling for a specific number of rounds of FFE instead of the continuous barrage?

On that subject, perhaps there could be a distinction between arty and mortar FOs as regards number of rounds of FFE. Los and others (whom I take to be real grunts) said the continuous barrage is appropriate for mortar immediate suppression missions, such as from the grunt battalion's big mortars. OK, fine, but in the arty we always shot a specific number of rounds even for immediate suppression. I'd assume this was true in WW2 as well.
