'''Indirect fire''' is aiming and [[Shooting|firing]] a projectile without relying on a direct [[line of sight]] between the gun and its target, as in the case of [[direct fire]]. Aiming is performed by calculating [[azimuth]] and [[inclination]], and may include correcting aim by [[artillery observer|observing]] the fall of shot and calculating new angles.
