Blind shot
Firing at a position where an enemy is believed to be, without it being spotted.
Also known as blind fire, shooting blind.
A vehicle that has just gone dark is still somewhere, and its last known position sits on the minimap. A shell sent into a known bush or behind a known rock costs one reload and occasionally lands.
It is also how a passive scout is dislodged: a few blind shells into the usual bush line are cheaper than driving in to check.
