How to Use the Squad Mortar Calculator
The Squad Mortar Calculator is designed to help artillery units in Squad game calculate the distance and angle they need to hit a specific target on the battlefield. Input the X and Y coordinates of both the target and the mortar positions. Upon clicking “Calculate,” the calculator will display the distance in meters and the angle in degrees needed to adjust your mortar fire.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator employs the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the straight-line distance between your mortar and the target, using the coordinates provided. It then calculates the angle of fire by using the arctan function from trigonometry.
Limitations of the Calculator
Please note that the calculator assumes a flat plane without taking into account elevation changes, obstacles, or specific mortar shell travel times and trajectories. The calculator provides angular and distance measurements as a basic guideline and should be used in conjunction with in-game adjustments and knowledge of game mechanics.
