The autoaim works off of converting the absolute position of the target into a relative position to the vehicle, then using trigonometry, finds the required horizontal and vertical traverse to point at the target.
To see how the mathematics works, you can check the spreadsheet I made while working on the autoaim system. https://www.desmos.com/3d/pmg6d4yc4e.
