IRON NEST Mission 3 Guide: Plot Spotter Reports

Quick answer

There is no reliable universal Mission 3 spotter position to copy. Read the current Liberation operation printout, place the IRON NEST and all named spotters in their exact grid and sub-grid positions, and use their observations to triangulate the unconfirmed target.

The best available video is from the Demo and ends without a normal completion screen. It confirms the workflow, not formal-release coordinates or guaranteed mission completion.

Plot the current operation

Mission 3 demonstrations begin with the IRON NEST and three observers. Add each token from the current teleprinter values. A token placed in the right main grid but wrong sub-grid will shift the target intersection, so inspect all three before drawing observations.

Use yellow tools for bearings, circles, and distance checks. Draw each report from the observer named by the operation. Where independent lines or circles meet, place the unconfirmed infantry or mission target.

Build the firing line

Once the target is credible, switch to the red tool and draw from the IRON NEST to that point. Send the resulting range and bearing into the normal calculator and turret workflow. Never turn the gun directly to a spotter's reported bearing.

Choose ammunition from the mission context

The recorded run requisitions armor-piercing ammunition and avoids a high-explosive choice because civilians may be close to the target area. The lesson is the decision rule, not a universal load: read the current objective and target environment before requisitioning.

Later, the operation supplies a reconnaissance requisition card and combines reconnaissance with STAR or armor-piercing fire. Process the card at the supply station, use the new information to update the map, and rebuild any firing solution whose target changed.

Why this page does not publish a coordinate

Searches for the Demo spotter position reflect a real player problem, but the official game page does not publish fixed observer coordinates and describes changing objectives. Copying a video coordinate can place an observer incorrectly in another version or run.

Use this verification order instead:

1. current teleprinter position;
2. correct main grid and sub-grid;
3. observation drawn from that token;
4. intersection checked against another report;
5. final red line redrawn from the IRON NEST.
