You can't attack what you haven't spotted; and to spot the target has to be
within spotting range or fired (or both, although in this case the firing
doesn't matter since you could see the target anyway).

You can't fire even direct barrages further than the spotting distance, so I
wouldn't penalize them any further. BTW I just noticed that if the IG
vehicle spotting range is 40cm then Bombard can't fire directly at all...

Yep, I think that would be it.
