Weapons that require other observers to control fires onto a target are indirect fire weapons; artillery (includes mortars), rockets, naval gunfire, etc.
Target acquisition is not accomplished by the weapons crew, but rather an observer locates the target and request fires. Another entity calculates the proper elevation and lateral deflection from a standard aiming point and appropriate propellant mix to allow the weapon to reach the desired target. An indirect fire attack is an engagement by an indirect fire weapon system.
Weapons systems that engage targets that are visible from that weapon are direct fire weapons: Machine guns, recoil-less rifles, tanks (for the most part), etc. The crew of the weapon systems acquires the target and delivers fire accordingly.
Tanks are technically capable of indirect fire although rarely used that way. The rounds are not designed for that role and the use of tank ammunition for indirect fire is inefficient.
