The essential workflow from receiving an order to confirming a hit.
How to read the tactical map, use its plotting tools, identify units and triangulate positions.
Enter the target distance and the calculator automatically selects the lowest powder charge that can reach it. The result gives the exact elevation required by the game, while still allowing you to compare higher charge settings.
Calculate a firing solution →Punchcards are processed at the Requisition Table for ammunition, scouting, movement and support actions. Each card has an exact Requisition Credit cost and is either reusable or consumed after one use.
Confirmed shell information and values from the game.
Compare all ammunition statistics →Statistics are tied to the game version in which they were observed.
Official statements, in-game observations and testing are labelled separately.
Reference pages connect raw values to decisions inside the turret.
Fan-made, transparent and unaffiliated with the development team.
