The idea being tested is the feedback loop in fire direction: you observe where the rounds land, issue the necessary corrections, and then adjust fire again until the target is hit. Start by watching impacts to see exactly where the round(s) land relative to the target. That information guides the corrections you communicate to the gun team—changes to elevation, azimuth, or other firing data to bring the rounds onto the target. Then you apply those corrections and fire again, repeating the observe-correct-adjust cycle until the target is achieved. Starting with any adjustment before you’ve observed the results wastes ammunition and can miss the target, and firing without observing isn’t how you ensure accuracy. Confirming weather isn’t part of this immediate iterative loop, which is focused on using observed impacts to refine fire until a hit is obtained.
