IRON NEST Tips and Tricks for Reliable Shots

Quick answer

Before every shot, read back the target, measurement origin, range, bearing, shell, actual powder charges, elevation and selected gun. After a miss, preserve the recorded setup and change one supported variable; after either side moves, discard the old geometry and rebuild the solution.

What the reviewed sources establish

• The developer FAQ documents the order-to-map-to-calculator-to-gun sequence.
• The official store confirms that ammunition, powder charges, elevation and rotation all matter.
• A dated independent checklist cross-checks the value of reading back each stage before firing.
• A public first-mission video provides a visual cross-check, while the current interface remains authoritative.

Use this current-build checklist

1. Write the target and the source of every coordinate or bearing before measuring.
2. Confirm the current Nest position, then record range and bearing together.
3. Calculate for the shell and exact powder-charge count you will actually load.
4. Read back target, shell, charges, bearing, elevation and selected gun before arming.
5. After impact, record the observed error and change one relevant input at a time.
6. After movement, start again from the map instead of correcting a stale solution.

Keep the answer current

• Do not treat this checklist as a mission answer or a source of fixed coordinates.
• Do not fire a loaded mistake merely to clear it before checking friendlies and counter-battery risk.
• Do not reuse a calculator result when the target, Nest, shell or charge count changed.
