Given the almost complete lack of indirect fire weapons, even if you *COULD* designate targets with a painting laser of some sort, nobody could actually do anything with it.

There will probably be some very limited ability for tank main weapons to arc their shots a bit for distance and clearance, but hopefully when this is done, the damage they inflict will be enourmously reduced....modern (and theoretically future) tank guns rely on density of shot, and velocity of projectile to get kills, something which an arcing trajectory would severely reduce, as opposed to a high explosive round which would be a lot better off.

Apart from being a logistic nightmare, long range attacks probably wouldn't be as fun either. You can't get better than unloading a shotgun at point-blank range!

Beside's if you had a line of NC tanks just one marauder coming in from the flanks would cause absolute mayhem, you'd need at least a platoon+ to guard the column plus close air support.

However, if you did have all that it would be a lot quicker to just storm the base. Jus my $0.02 worth.
