Using the clipboard maps for targeting doesn't appear to work as I understood from the reference to it you made Fuze.
I understood that attacking, say, a small airfield I could pull up the small airfield map and click on something like a hanger and refine the targeting on the airfield in general. I tried this and it doesn't seem to work for me.
Did your reference to the clipboard map just refer giving you a layout of the field and the actual click point would be on the little airfield icon itself rather than targeting an actual structure?
You do the target clicking on the radarmap itself, not the clipboard maps.
What I meant is using the clipboard map, you can visualize where the different structures on the field are in reference to the field icon square on the radarmap.
Example: The VH at a large field is in the upper left part of the field, the NW corner, based on the clipboard map. You would click on the northwest corner of that field's map icon to target that area.
For specific targets like that you usually need visual conformation unless you have time to cover an area with enough rounds to destroy a large structure.
For field guns, towns, factories, or things with a concentration of somewhat less hardened targets a salvo or two can be fired before you click another another adjacent area. You walk your shells over the target in a pattern so you cover it all.
