	Indirect fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indirect fire is the use of artillery to fire at targets out of the crew's line of sight, by firing in a high arc out to long distances and/or over blocking terrain.
		Direct fire, in contrast, is the use of artillery to fire at targets that can be observed, aimed at, and corrected for by the crew itself.
		Throughout most of the history of indirect-fire artillery the aiming was done on the basis of pre-calculated firing tables, which took account of wind velocity in addition to the relative position of the enemy and allowed crews to aim their guns by means of look-up tables rather than their own mathematical calculations.

		The impact of fire on the scattered invasive grasses in the subalpine is unknown, particularly velvet grass and sweet vernal grass.
		Fire use and prescribed fire impacts on threatened and endangered species and species of special concern would be minimized by avoiding their application in areas with these species, unless these species are known to respond well to fire.
		Direct effects are those where the fire itself is the cause of the impacts, operational effects occur as a result of associated operations like line construction or staging, while indirect effects are ones where fire and/or associated operations result in changes to local context such that cultural resources will be effected.

	US Artillery - Direct Fire
		Direct laying is the term for direct-fire, when the target can be seen from the piece.
		Fire at greater than the elevation that produces maximum range is high-angle fire.
		TOT fire is a technique when the volleys from several units arrive on the target at the same time, for maximal surprise.

	Indirect Fire
		Unobserved fire is fire for which the points of impact or burst are not observed.
		To speed the delivery of fire, the crew of each weapon used a firing table containing the quadrant, fuze settings, and charge appropriate for each range at which direct fire targets could be acquired.
		These fires neutralize, canalize, or destroy enemy attack formations or defenses; obscure the enemy's vision or otherwise inhibit his ability to acquire and attack friendly targets; and destroy targets deep in the enemy rear with long-range rocket or missile fires.

	Direct Fire Weapons
		The fundamental mission of armor and other direct fire weapons is to close with and destroy the enemy.
		The driver gets the vehicle to firing position, the tank commander selects targets, the loader ensures the weapon is loaded with the correct ammunition for the target selected, and the gunner makes sure the round strikes the target in the area of maximum vulnerability.
		A sophisticated fire control system provided main gun stabilization for shooting on the move and a precise laser range finder, thermal-imaging night sights, and a digital ballistic computer solved the gunnery problem, thus maximizing the utility of the 105-mm.

	Relic Forums - [HOW TO]Direct Fire Prism fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I've used the attack move on a squad, i've used close combat move on a squad, i've used them all, but I can't seem to focus fire on a particular squad with the cannon.
		It had been asked because the Fireprism was bugged and didn't fire on his own troops.
		The problem I think you may have is that when the whole of an enemy infantry squad is knocked into the air with a barrage of fire prism fire, they become un-targetable, thus the fire prism goes into automatic target selection and will just attack the nearest enemy unit.
