08 / MORTAR CALC

Mortar Calc

Punch in a firing position and a target position on the 100 m grid (same grid as the Tactical Map) and get range, bearing, and an in-range check for the L81 Mortar or SPH-2 Artillery.

01 Firing position
02 Target position
Live solution

Enter all four coordinates.

Grid bearing is 0° = +Y, 90° = +X on this site's coordinate grid, not true compass north. No public elevation/MIL table exists for either system yet, so dial elevation off your own in-game sight once in range.

Plot on map

Pick the map your firing and target coordinates are on - the fire mission above plots straight onto it as you type.

Caucasus river valley. A hill town on the valley floor, sunflower fields and a lumberyard around it, forested ridges and a quarry climbing on both sides. Only the towers inside the active control zone are live objectives.
