## Key points

- Calculate elevation manually when the computer is damaged.
- Use distance × 0.012 ÷ charges.
- Set the bearing angle before firing.

## Summary

In IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator, players can still fire accurately if the Elevation Calculating Computer is damaged by calculating the turret’s elevation manually. This matters during missions where the tool is unavailable, although the article recommends using it whenever possible because small elevation errors can be costly.

The guide gives the formula: distance × 0.012 ÷ number of charges. For an 8,200-metre target using two charges, the elevation is 49.2 degrees; the game uses identical ballistic behaviour across shell types, so the calculation remains consistent. Players must also set the correct bearing before firing.
