RE: Leader effect on APC's morale
The point of the inquiry is, who does the firing calculations? I think in WW2 it was mostly the battery staff, and a little to the gunners. That makes mixing batteries fairly easy. In WW1 I think it was a battalion/regimental staff problem. That makes different or dispersed battery coordination much more difficult.
Since I think it was the responsibility of the battery staff, there shouldn't be any technical reason why 2 batteries of any type, from anywhere within range, could not fire together. Since I am a 4F guy, it's an academic exercise me. Being in technical development, I want to know how things work after they leave the lab. So if we had an artilleryman's perspective, it would firm up the discussion.
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!
