How is artillery so precise?

Firing hundreds of KM in some cases, accurate within a few hundred feet? How is that possible? And how do they “dial in” new coordinates exactly? It all seems like magic to me

Very, very smart soldiers who are great at math and extremely precise mapping.

A request for a strike on a precise location gets called in. The request is granted, and a team of absolute mathematical *Chads* get to work.

They have computers to help calculate trajectories but are more than capable of doing the work by hand.

The order for elevation, alignment, and charge strength gets sent to the team at the cannon and they do the boom.
