If they are using EXACTO like rounds, tactics need to account for a higher first shot hit. Fewer rounds would be carried but they would be $$$ each.

Trackingpoint is a different targeting system (it IS NOT a guidance system).
Requires specific wind input for a precision hit.
But they might just go with the Suppressive mode that constantly calculates the target solution.
Additionally, tactics must take into account the TP batteries only last a few hours.
