🎯 Arma 3 Artillery Calculator
Professional firing solution calculator for all artillery systems
📍 Input Parameters
📊 Firing Solution
🎯 Overview
This advanced Arma 3 Artillery Calculator provides precise firing solutions for all artillery systems in the game. It calculates elevation, traverse, direction, and estimated time of arrival (ETA) based on real ballistic physics and game mechanics.
The calculator supports all major artillery systems including mortars, howitzers, and multiple rocket launcher systems (MLRS). It uses authentic military grid coordinate systems and provides professional-grade firing solutions.
Features include:
- Support for all Arma 3 artillery systems
- 8-digit military grid coordinate input
- Altitude compensation calculations
- Multiple charge type support
- Real-time ballistic calculations
- Professional military command format output
📋 How to Use
Step 1: Select your artillery battery type from the available options (Mk6 Mortar, M4 Scorcher, etc.)
Step 2: Enter the 8-digit grid coordinates for your battery position and target position. You can find these coordinates in-game using the map.
Step 3: Input the altitude in meters for both battery and target positions. This affects trajectory calculations.
Step 4: Select the appropriate charge type (1-7) based on range and desired trajectory.
Step 5: Click "Calculate Firing Solution" to get your results.
Step 6: Use the provided direction, elevation, and traverse values in your artillery computer or manual calculations.
The calculator will automatically generate command-line instructions that you can copy and use directly in-game.
💡 Tips & Tricks
Charge Selection: Lower charges (1-3) provide higher trajectories and shorter ranges, while higher charges (5-7) give flatter trajectories and longer ranges.
Altitude Matters: Always account for altitude differences. Shooting uphill requires higher elevation, while shooting downhill requires lower elevation.
Grid Coordinates: Use the in-game map to get precise 8-digit coordinates. Zoom in for better accuracy.
Multiple Rounds: For area targets, adjust traverse slightly between rounds to cover the entire target area.
Weather Effects: In some Arma 3 scenarios, wind and weather can affect projectile flight. The calculator assumes standard conditions.
Verification: Always verify your calculations with a ranging round before firing for effect.
Communication: Use standard military fire mission procedures when coordinating with forward observers.
