I tend to agree - Indirect fire (where the gun layer cannot observe the
target)
has to be more inaccurate than direct fire since there is some delay in the
flow of information to the fire unit as to location of the target and
adjusting fires. With barrages an easy soln is to use the 40k scatter dice to
move the barrage -
 disrupts are no problem due to their - with FP arty like the ork big gunz it
is more tricky - maybe they shoot at half FP, but then again the orks are
screwed anyway so this seems unfair.
