Aiming is performed by calculating azimuth and inclination, and may include correcting aim by observing the fall of shot and calculating new angles.

indirect fire
Indirect fire refers to a military tactic where weapons such as artillery or mortars are fired without a direct line of sight to the target. Instead, the weapon is aimed relying on calculations, maps, and sometimes external observations (from observers or radar). This allows for targeting enemies that are behind cover or at long distances.
