Field step 01
Measure before you calculate
Start with the range shown by your in-game report or map tool. If the distance changes, recalculate instead of reusing a stale result.

Guides / correction workflow
Use the calculator as a starting estimate, then correct like a notebook entry: observe the miss, recheck inputs, adjust one variable, and verify in-game.
Field step 01
Start with the range shown by your in-game report or map tool. If the distance changes, recalculate instead of reusing a stale result.
Field step 02
Select charge 1–6 and check whether the distance is within the public-source max range for that charge. If the calculator marks the selected charge as insufficient, treat the result as a warning, not a solution.
Field step 03
Use the estimated degrees as a starting point only. Confirm the loaded shell and the in-game ballistic calculator before firing.
Field step 04
After firing, note whether the impact is short/long or left/right. Range misses usually point back to distance, charge, or elevation. Lateral misses usually point back to target plotting or bearing.
Field step 05
Change one variable, then recheck. Do not invent wind, barrel wear, projectile speed, or shell-weight corrections unless a future verified-data gate approves them.
Wind, barrel wear, shell weight, projectile speed, moving target lead, terrain elevation, and patch-specific physics are not verified in this MVP.
