If you kill your acquired target, can you leave the acquisition counter in the heat to be used against another unit that might pass through?
You can.If you kill your acquired target, can you leave the acquisition counter in the heat to be used against another unit that might pass through?
It might have the same DRM as bore sighting, and it might behave in the same way in some respects, but in others it does not. You can't fire at another Location then fire back at the original Location and get the DRM again (without taking multiple shots), so it is not the same as bore sighting. It is a left-over acquisition.Wouldn't leaving the acq counter essentially be bore sighting?
Actually the rules tell you when you must remove acquisition, not when you must/can retain it. If you shoot at a target you gain acquisition. If the target is destroyed, nothing tells you to remove acquisition for that reason. The acquisition remains until some reason causes it to go away.I tend to agree, but COWTRA suggests otherwise.
"C6.44 A MG/IFE non-ordnance attack [EXC: all forms of Residual FP; A8.2, A9.22] vs a unit in the firing weapon's Bore Sighted Location may deduct two from its IFT DR unless using Spraying Fire or taking a Snap Shot [EXC: vs Infantry, only such an attack conducted as Defensive First Fire (A8.1) qualifies for this -2 DRM]. The -2 Bore Sighting DRM may be used by a FG making such an attack only if all elements of that FG have Bore Sighted that same Location. See also E1.71."Actually the rules tell you when you must remove acquisition, not when you must/can retain it. If you shoot at a target you gain acquisition. If the target is destroyed, nothing tells you to remove acquisition for that reason. The acquisition remains until some reason causes it to go away.
