In reference to table 5 of the above linked website at this page

how has the information being translated for the reduced numbers of weapons normally used in our campaigns.

In the SEOW implementation of indirect fire, there is flexibility to adjust gun effectiveness simply by editing parameters in the Rocket_Parameters table (dispersion, reload time, capacity etc).

However, by default, I have tried to get the effectiveness to mirror historical effect. That is easy for howitzers that fire 1 round at a time. But for Katyushas and Panzerwerfers, which fired 8-10 rockets at once, I have aggregated a full salvo into a single round.
