Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not completely ineffective either. It just
doesn't give pinpoint accuracy. Odds are the enemy will know
approximately
where you are, which is why it's a good idea to scoot.
However, you generally cannot track an incoming round and immediately
determine its exact point of origin for counterbattery fire.
