[Enhancement] Auxiliary pointer for guns

This idea was posted here 2 years ago, but was closed, since military affairs in IV wasn't yet so developed.
Such a critically important thing is simply necessary in a mod where there are guns. At the moment, sights don't provide high accuracy, and self-propelled guns pose a difficult task for the player, especially for inexperienced folks.
Many people have seen how the pointer works in a game called War Thunder, but I have references for the code in a separate repo. Unfortunately my addon doesn't work properly and it will only be supported on 1.12.2. In addition, it uses hooks, a fundamental change in the affected code can fetch the addon unusable. Btw, I don't recommend using the 3D model as a pointer render, as it doesn't render correctly in game. It's best to use a 2D component, as done in Shoulder Surfing.
Unless this can be coded in a version-agnostic manner, I do not see any use adding it. Especially when current coding is being focused on updating the code to 1.16.5. Adding an outsourced label and 1-month timeframe. If you want this, get with @conman180 or @gyrohero. They understand this stuff way better than I do.
