Operator workflow
IRON NEST places you inside a 5,000-ton turret. Your first deployment connects the operator station, teleprinter orders, the tactical map, the ballistic calculator, shell loading, elevation, propellant, and the firing mechanism.
Use this verified learning order:
- Read the battlefield order delivered through the teleprinter.
- Locate the reported coordinates on the tactical map.
- Measure the target bearing and distance.
- Carry those measurements into the firing solution.
- Prepare the shell, elevation, and propellant before firing.
Exact control labels and default key bindings: Pending confirmation.
Build the firing solution
The verified firing workflow starts with two measurements: bearing and distance. Use the tactical map to obtain both, then open the interactive IRON NEST ballistic calculator to connect measured distance with elevation and a usable propellant charge.
The web calculator clearly labels its community-verified formula, current version, and limitations. Keep bearing and shell choice with the firing card, but do not treat either field as a hidden input to the V1 elevation formula.
Loading and fire
After the solution is prepared, complete the loading sequence, set the required elevation and propellant, and use the turret’s firing mechanism. IRON NEST is built around controlling these major mechanisms from inside the machine rather than issuing a single abstract attack command.
Armor-piercing, smoke, and other unlockable ammunition types serve different battlefield roles. The full game includes 30 ammunition types and abilities. Specific unlock requirements and per-shell values are Pending confirmation.
Next deployment
Once the first fire mission is familiar, continue with firing solutions and ammunition choices. The wider campaign includes procedurally generated objectives, challenge modes, official leaderboards, 15 regions, and 100+ unlockable medals.
