I learned the basics of it in Advanced Machine Gunners School using .50 cals.
It is very difficult to set up and have effects on target within a short period of time.
A normal section of six 240's, in the offensive role, will be hard pressed to have effects on target before ammo requirements become an issue.
The only advantage to indirect fire is that the support by fire can be in full or partial defilade.
In the defense it may be useful, but only if there is the time and means to preregister the targets. Terrain and amount of guns permitting.
