Are you sure it's an increased chance to hit with FF? If I'm doing this right (adding up the %'s for getting a 2, 3, 4 and 5) there is about a 27% chance to hit on a 2-5. On a 1-2 on a single die it's a 33% chance.

G/A/B was about a 17% chance (1/6) and now it's about a 16.7% so the same.

G/A/B self spotting is about 8.3%. Non about 17%.

So... less chance to hit but hits for full value when it does?

Less is more, you are correct with the non modified FF rolls 10/36 v. 2/6

For G/B/A it is the the same, 6/36 v 1/6

Self spotting in new, so there is no comparison.

Interesting note as I was reading about the French artillery prior to it's demise. Seems that even though they had good maps of the the borderlands as well as the low countries, they failed to keep their FO training current, even stripping back FO's from units. There main focus of artillery training was the guns of the Maginot Line and the mobile units were relegated direct fire support for the infantry units. Because of this French indirect fire capabilities were poor at best. It made me wonder if the French should have a 1-3 FF chance.
