QUICK ANSWER
Read the order, locate both the NEST and target, draw the final NEST-to-target line, record bearing and range, calculate charge and elevation, load the matching shell and charges, lay the guns, then fire and wait for confirmation.
Operator briefing
This operator-first guide turns the game’s many stations into one repeatable loop. Keep a written firing card, finish every check before arming, and treat each correction as a new solution rather than a guess.
Use the procedure below as a decision sequence, not as a substitute for the live mission order. Random coordinates, balance values, and mod compatibility can change; stable facts and version-sensitive evidence are labelled separately.
Field procedure
- 01
Read High Command and Field Intelligence before touching the map. Extract the target, mission constraint, required effect, and any deadline.
- 02
Plot your current IRON NEST position and the target. Spotter bearings begin at the spotter, but the final firing line must begin at your NEST.
- 03
Create a firing card with target, bearing, range, shell, powder charges, elevation, and assigned gun. Do not rely on memory when running two guns.
- 04
Load the projectile and exactly the charge count on the card. Set turret bearing and elevation, then run a verbal or written final check.
- 05
Arm and fire only after every station agrees with the same card. Wait for the report, record the result, and calculate a fresh correction if needed.
Checks before you commit
- The most common beginner error is using a spotter bearing as the turret bearing.
- Work on the next task while the 5,000-ton turret rotates, but never mix data from two targets.
- Mission coordinates and generated targets can change between runs; copy the method, not another player’s numbers.
When the live game conflicts with this page, keep the live observation, game build, and source date. That evidence becomes the next revision instead of being silently forced into an old answer.
