1) If it doesnt have the artillery ability, then it cant fire indirectly.
simple.

2) No line of sight needed at all - presume the machines are linked to a
radra base or something behind the lines.

3) deathstrykes lack the artillery ability, so need line of sight to fire.

4) They hit as soon as they are fireed.
