Start with two known references
To triangulate in IRON NEST, use two map references that you can identify consistently. Mark the observation point first, then note the direction each reference gives you. The intersection is a working location, not proof that the target is correctly identified.
- Name the first reference and write the direction or measurement beside it.
- Repeat from the second reference without changing the map scale.
- Compare the intersection with terrain and the mission description.
- Only then transfer the working position into the firing solution.
Keep the map scale fixed
A measurement copied from one zoom level is hard to audit at another. Capture the map scale or grid context in your notes so the correction can be repeated after a miss.
If the two lines do not meet near a plausible target area, revisit the references before touching the gun settings.
When the lines do not meet
Check the observation point, reference labels, and map scale in that order. Record which input changed before making a new firing adjustment, then use the shot record to compare the next result. This keeps a triangulation error separate from a shell or elevation error.
Evidence status
The public map-guide material confirms that map measurements are a meaningful task in IRON NEST. Exact mission-specific landmarks should be checked against the current Steam build and player reports before being treated as fixed facts.
