This way for example Light assaults and infiltrators would have yet another role in the field to play, to assign targets for the artillery to take aim at. As the projectile wouldn't be 100% vertical, the coordinators would need to think whom they mark on the map, otherwise the artillery fires would be wasted (unless it magically smacks on enemy aircraft on its way towards a wall).
Interesting, I think that the Light Assault would be a good spotting class. Good point!
