QUICK ANSWER
Draw each bearing from its own spotter position, locate the intersection, then measure a new bearing and range from the current IRON NEST position to that point.
Operator briefing
Triangulation answers where the target is. It does not directly answer where your turret should point. The final and essential step is drawing a new line from the current IRON NEST position to the intersection.
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
Mark Spotter A and draw its reported bearing outward from that exact position.
- 02
Mark Spotter B and repeat. Extend both rays carefully; the useful target is where the forward rays intersect.
- 03
Reject intersections behind a spotter or outside the plausible mission area. Nearly parallel bearings create large position errors.
- 04
Mark the intersection as the target. From your current NEST position, draw a fresh line to it.
- 05
Measure that final line for turret bearing and range, then pass those values to the firing calculator.
Checks before you commit
- A small plotting error becomes a large miss when the bearing lines meet at a shallow angle.
- After an Emergency Move, update the NEST position and recompute the final line even if the target is unchanged.
- Use the triangulation calculator to detect parallel or backward-facing inputs before committing a shot.
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.
