I think you misunderstand what artillery spotting is. It's eyeballing the fall of shot by firing the guns in sequence(hence the double attack in game) and using the first ranging shot/s to adjust the aim for lead, elevation, maneuvering, wind, etc. The guns can then be fired in full broadside(hence the cut-in in game) once the shots are bracketing or hitting the target. It's got nothing to do with the radar FCS used by USN. The surface radar cannot tell where the fall of shot is, or provide adjustments. It's just a way of blindfiring and averaging for error from optical rangefinding.

If anything, it could be a dramatic increase in accuracy, particularly for night battles.
