How to Read the IRON NEST Tactical Map
Official release-context images show a tactical map with grid and sub-coordinate references, markers, kilometer distance, degree bearing, and correction information. The map is the measurement stage between receiving an order and using the fire-control interface. This guide explains those visible concepts without reproducing a complete map.
Grid References
Grid references help locate an area named by the order. Sub-coordinates narrow that area. Read the current map labels carefully; this page does not publish a complete coordinate index or mission location list.
Markers
Markers let the operator organize points on the visible map. Official images show marker and deletion controls. Exact placement, snapping, and input behavior are not asserted here because they were not independently reproduced.
Distance in Kilometers
The reviewed map interface shows measured distance in kilometers. Use the current map value for the current task. Do not substitute a remembered distance from another mission or an unofficial table.
Bearing in Degrees
The map shows bearing in degrees. That direction is one input to the broader fire-control process. Keep map bearing distinct from any other angle shown elsewhere in the interface.
Correction Information
Official instructional imagery includes correction information, but the complete current-build semantics and edge cases were not independently reproduced. Treat the live game as the authority for what a correction label means in the current task.
From Map to Fire Control
Read the order.
Locate the relevant area on the map.
Mark or measure the target using the current interface.
Read the displayed distance and bearing.
Carry the required measurements into the fire-control stage.
Continue through loading, gun setup, firing, and result review.
Current Boundary
This page is not a downloadable map, complete mission-location index, or exact mouse/controller manual. It does not claim a coordinate origin, snapping rule, or universal correction method that the reviewed sources do not confirm.
Frequently Asked Questions
The reviewed official images show kilometer distance and degree bearing.
No. It explains map concepts and workflow without reproducing the complete map asset.
No. Official images show marker affordances, but exact input behavior was not independently reproduced. Use the current in-game prompts.
