The purpose of the POLE was (not only) to test the firing of 120mm from a wheeled platforme but to test indirect tank firing. The accuracy achieved was very good.
Indirect fire was lost with the Leclerc MBT introduction. Until the AMX-30, tank crew were trained to this capability. Into each AMX-30 turret, you can put a level to use the balistic table. There is a special support on the cradle.
With the AMX-10RC, there is only one level per troop and tank crew were not trained to this (even if it was to be known).
Indirect firing capability will come back with the next tank generation.
So, can the AMX-10RC fire indirect fire? Because I don't understand from this message
