I think if you use the spotter as an adjusting reference line, all you need just an OTL (no need for observer location) instead of GTL or Cardinal, but in this case, the arty crew needs an important tool that is missing in ACE Mod, this tool is a Circular Target Grid (DA Form 4176), matching the scale of the 1:25,000 or of Arma3 environment the small map tool size.
Soviet doctrine almost always uses grid north as reference and the target to report impact point. So they will say: north 100 east 50 and FCO will translate it to azmuth and elevation. For a soviet based system all you need is a dual rotating sinus plotter like thing. I know fire correction is much more sophisticated in western based systems but I dont know much about rhem..
@@gezalesko3813 I dunno but for me, apart of this Soviet 6000₥ / Western 6400₥ difference, all other things are same pure geometry science.. anyway. for Aerial Observer is quite simple to mentally project a Grid or True North on target and adjust, but from an FO perspective with a slight overwatch on target in the best cases, I'd use OTL since I use Binoculare's horizontal Line 10₥ ticks to correct the deflection first (e.g : 2 ticks left of OTL @ ≃ 3000m -> ≃ 60m left), and once the round is on Binoculare's Vertical Line with the target (which is OTL), then I start successive or creeping bracketing to adjust the range before FFE. so if ACE Mod Devs could add a 1,000-meter grid square divided into 100-meter squares inside the inner circle of Normal Map Tool, it would be perfect for the Arty crew to plot the deviations and adjust easily based on OTL. check the picture 6-22 (angle T) in this link : www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-40/Ch6.htm#google_vignette

Give me the good ol' PLOTTING BOARD to translate forward observer adjustment of the rounds.
