Calculate ballistics

  • Determine gun location
    • Determine grid and altitude (ASL) of each firing point.
    • Use centre-point only if all guns are within 50m radius.
  • Determine target location
    • Determine grid and altitude (ASL) via Grid, Polar, or Shift.
  • Determine sight to target
    • Calculate azimuth, distance, and altitude difference.
  • Develop the fire solution
    • Select charge using range table.
    • Determine base elevation; interpolate if needed.
    • Adjust for altitude difference.
    • Calculate time of flight.
  • Set ammunition parameters
    • Set proximity/timed fuses based on altitude or time of flight if applicable.
  • Verify all data
    • Recheck all data.
    • Ideally cross-check with a second calculator.
