Your spelling of knowledgeable was right first time as was the use of spelt. But these things vary from country to country so what is acceptable here in the UK, may not be so in the US or Oz.

Usefulness in descending order:

On map mortars in dead ground with HQ spotter.

On map guns or SU.

Off map spotter for guns or mortars - longer response rate, inaccurate map fire after first move.

Off map rockets - usually land all over the map and rarely hit anyone.

Aircraft - will destroy enemy units but will probably kill as many of your own units due to misidentification.

Ok first thanks DAF for yet another fine answer.

Second I am from OZ and not the UK as you may have assumed.

Third and most importantly, with a HQ spotting for a mortar how do you tell the HQ you want the mortar to shoot it's target?

Using mortars is straightforward. You have the mortar in dead ground or cover out of LOS. The HQ must have LOS and must have a red command line to the mortar. You then select and fire the mortar as normal but when it goes on target you get a yellow line which shows that it will be accurate directed fire and not inaccurate map fire.

A lot of these details are in the manual or the strategy guide and it is worth reading it again after you have plyed the game a while to pick up these extra game tips.

cheers
