Oblique Fire is defined as fire delivered on the oblique of a target when the target is oriented between which angles to the firing unit?

• A. 0 and 90 degrees
• B. 90 and 180 degrees
• C. -90 and 0 degrees
• D. 180 and 360 degrees

Answer: (A)

Oblique fire means engaging a target whose front is angled toward you rather than directly facing you or fully turned away. When the target’s orientation to the firing unit sits between zero and ninety degrees, its front is partly turned toward you, creating an oblique profile that you’re delivering fire against. This range captures the typical oblique angle where you’re not head-on but not fully broadside either, requiring adjustments to aim at the exposed portion of the target. Angles beyond ninety degrees place the target more onto the flank or rear, which is not considered oblique fire.
