The section Modern Artillery is nonsense. It does not describe the 'mechanics' of indirect fire artillery laying in the 20th Century. All it covers is direct fire by AFVs, a totally different subject.

For artillery laying in the 20th century I suggest paying attention to this page http://members.tripod.com/~nigelef/fc_laying.htm

Feel free to extend the article, it is after all a stub. IIRC FACE accepted compensation for barometric pressure, temperature and windspeed. I presume that BATES is the same, so as a comparison with earlier techniques, and as far as it goes the text is reasonably accurate. I doubt that the detail in the Tripod article is justified here, it's a very brief summary. An article on the detail of 20th century artillery technology would probably be a more appropriate vehicle for that level of detail.--Shoka 01:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
