Which WAT mode allows mass fire and better effects for moving targets?

• A. At my Command
• B. When Ready
• C. Time on Target
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (A)

Mass fire and effective engagement of moving targets come from keeping firing synchronized under the observer’s control. In At my Command mode, the firing units wait for a direct command to unleash fire, which lets the fire direction center coordinate multiple weapons to burst together and place a concentrated, massed fire on the target. This synchronization is what enhances effect on a moving target because you can time the salvo to the target’s path and shift fire as the target moves. By contrast, firing when ready happens as soon as a gun is ready, breaking any chance to mass across multiple weapons. Time on Target aims for simultaneous arrival of rounds at a single point, which is excellent for static targets but less reliable for moving ones since the target’s position changes during flight. So the mode that best enables mass fire and improved effects on moving targets is At my Command.
