A good NCO should know the areas where the enemy tends to group. Look for 2-3 people together, and drop there. It can now also be ussed as a great tool to advance. Drop it near them, and advance as it falls, it will make it very hard for them to fire back.

For the most part, The center, ends, and entrence and exit points are where they tend to pile together.

Artillery is pretty powerful as is. If you make it so NCO's can stay back and keep dropping arty from complete safety via map it will probably be too unbalanced.

If your having a hard time chose the first class (tier?) as the binocs will allow you to see the enemy and accurately drop your mortars, I usually do this at the beginning of an attack or against a well defended trench that nobody can seem to get in.

Good advice in this thread.
Also you can get help from the French Chasseurs. If there is a Chasseur squad in the match, ask them to do recon, and use the info to place your arty.

Observe and learn where the enemy is likely to go. Every map has its hot spots. Every map has bottlenecks that the enemy needs to go through. Every map has positions that appeal to the enemy.
For instance, there are certain positions that gunners love to use. You will love to arty those, because you will be killing gunners. And then the gunner won't be killing your guys.

So summing up:

Use binoculars
Observe enemy movement, learn to anticipate where they are likely to be and to go
Use Chasseur recon information

Especially aiming the airplane bomb without the map is pretty hard as it doesnt spread like a mortar you have to make call it in very precisely and when you do this you might as well just take out your rifle and shoot.

Also: As the plane bomb is a great let down maybe you should be able to call in a gotha bomber at level 100 for the central powers and the entente a handley page bomber which drops like 8 bombs in a row or so.
