(Please forgive my use of the anachronistic American slang - in my reading on the Algerian war I haven't found a lot of detail on French Air Force pilots like I have for the legionnaires and the paras, so I'm a little lost on the correct terms to use.) Normal operations are for the spotter to make visual contact and provide direction to the attack aircraft in consultation with the forward observer.We can assume that all of this background was covered in Vidal's radio operator training course. As for the last question...When the time comes, that will take an in-game Knowledge (military science) skill check (and possibly a Spot check as well, depending on the target). The attack aircraft are still about four or five minutes or so out (remember, that could be as much as fifty rounds!) so you've got some time to focus on staying alive first...</blockquote>
