Officially documented loop
A manual war machine built around information
The developer FAQ describes a concrete loop: read teleprinter orders, note the important information, measure the tactical map, enter those measurements into the ballistic calculator, select ammunition and powder charges, set elevation and rotation, arm a gun and fire.
The hard part is preserving that chain while the tactical situation changes. These guides mark exact coordinates, future plans, Mod behavior and ending triggers according to the strength of their evidence.
- Use official sources for shipped features and plans.
- Use developer-marked answers for edge cases such as unloading.
- Use community tactics only when clearly labeled as player-tested.
