Range comes first
The gun sight shows range in metres on the left. Set it to our number and let the mils follow. The elevation number is there to cross-check and for anyone aiming by the mil scale.

WARDOGS artillery calculator
Two clicks — gun and target. You get the range for the sight, the bearing in degrees and mils, the table elevation and a height correction. Missed? Say where it landed and the solution shifts.

Towers and bases on this map are within about ±200 m. Range and bearing between your points are exact.
Click to place. Drag the gun or the target to move it.

Height changes things
A target 100 m lower makes the round fly further; higher means short. We read both heights from the terrain and work out which flat-ground range to dial. It is an estimate — the first round is still a ranging shot.
Two SPH-2 arcs
The low arc is faster and tighter but does not work inside ~1.2 km. The high arc clears hills and reaches closer, but hangs longer in the air. When both work the calculator shows both.
How do I read coordinates in game?
Open the tactical map and hover a point — the game shows X and Y. Type them into Game coordinates with a space. Or just click our map at the same spot — the grid uses the same numbers.
Why did the round still miss?
Guns have spread, the SPH-2 hull can sit on a slope, and clicks are never perfect. Use Adjust fire: tell it how far and which way the round landed and the aim point moves the other way.
Where do the firing tables come from?
They are open community measurements (MIT licence). The game has no official tables and patches can shift the numbers — if you spot a mismatch, tell us on Discord.

WARDOGS artillery calculator: L81 mortar and SPH-2
Place the gun and the target on the map and the calculator gives range, bearing and elevation for the L81 mortar or the SPH-2. It accounts for height difference and gives a correction after the first round.
How to use it
- Pick the gun: L81 or SPH-2.
- Click the gun position and the target on the map.
- Set the bearing and elevation from the result in game.
- Missed? Enter where the round landed to get the correction.
FAQ
- Which guns are supported?
- The L81 mortar and the SPH-2 self-propelled gun.
- Does it account for height difference?
- Yes. Heights come from the map terrain and the elevation is corrected automatically.
- Is this a cheat?
- No. It runs in the browser and never touches the game client — it is the same maths as a paper firing table.
