Station Overview
The Iron Nest is a set of stations around one loop: read the problem, locate the target, calculate a solution, load, aim, and fire. This page maps that loop to the stations named in current research. It is not a labeled photo tour of every lever in the current build.
Loop Map
Which station does which job
- 01
Orders / reports
Read
High Command and field reports tell you what the problem is before you leave the map. Do not start at the loader.
- 02
Tactical map table
Locate
Plot known points (Iron Nest, Spotters) and draw what reports imply. This is where bearings and distances become a target location.
- 03
Ballistic Calculator
Calculate
Turns a measured target problem into a firing solution. Confirm the target on the map first; the calculator does not replace map work.
- 04
Loader
Load
Choose a shell and powder charge that match the mission instruction, then load the gun by hand.
- 05
Turret controls
Aim / Fire
Rotate the turret and set elevation to the solution, fire, then treat the result and any new report as a new problem.
What this is based on — Official store copy describes operating a heavy turret from the inside with a tactical map and manual gunnery. Station names used here (map table, Ballistic Calculator, loader) match community operation guides and this site's existing firing-loop copy.
Not published here — Button labels, panel colors, exact walking paths between stations, and a complete labeled walkthrough of the current 3D interior have not been re-checked in-game for this page. Confirm those in your build.
