How about (D), resolve barrage as normal and THEN Firer System's out? I
think the rounds have already left the tubes by the time the rounds land
so
any results won;t affect THIS attack.

Scale has nothing to do with it. A tree is so high and either the GRAV
tanks can pop above it or they can't. The rules say they can't (in DS2)
but
I like to play where they can (as you do).
