How it works

Distance is Pythagoras: a = ΔX, b = ΔY, c = √(a² + b²). One coordinate unit is 100 m, so multiply by 100.

Azimuth = atan2(ΔX, ΔY), 0° = North, 90° = East. Turn the gun to this bearing first.

Elevation (mils) can't come from a formula. It's a lookup in the community firing table: longer range = lower mil number. Between rows we interpolate.

Height and correction shift the range you look up. Both are approximate. Fire one ranging shot, then correct.

Firing tables and map calibration: apollyon-sys/wardogs-calculator (MIT). Community-measured, not official. The L81 max range is disputed.
