"I need some of our 11C types over here as well as some analysis.
There's something there bothering me, and I think I'm missing it:

I think one tube could hang four rounds in 10 seconds or less, maybe 6 seconds, if they are not re-leveling the bubbles on their sight after the first round, assuming they're using an aiming stake or equivalent.

If they re-aim the tube after each round, then maybe around 15 seconds from hanging the first to last round, assuming they're not using a FO and FDC to adjust fire.

Counter-battery radar and automated FDC could probably generate numbers in a couple of seconds before fire commands are ready for manned crews.

As far as getting clearance for counter-battery fire from above, I have no idea how high up they have to go and how long that takes.

That's what's bothering me.
Thanks.
Wasn't sure what it was that was tickling the back of my brain, that's the reason for the call out for analysis.

Thanks for the input.
