</>What does Steady Aim do?
The whole gun mount rocks and settles as it moves, and that sway carries into your sight picture - fine for immersion, less fine when you're trying to lay a precise shot. Steady Aim damps it out and holds the view still. Nothing else changes: you still range, lay, and fire the normal way. You just do it looking through a sight that isn't drifting under you. Turn it off any time you want the weight and motion back.

What does Steady Aim do in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator?
Steady Aim stops the mech's rocking sway from nudging your view in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator, so the optics stay rock-steady while you dial in elevation and bearing. The whole gun mount rocks and settles as it moves, and that sway carries into your sight picture - fine for immersion, less fine when you're trying to lay a precise shot. Steady Aim damps it out and holds the view still. Nothing else changes: you still range, lay, and fire the normal way, just looking through a sight that isn't drifting under you.

How does Steady Aim make the sight steadier?
In IRON NEST, the gun mount is heavy and it rocks and settles as it moves, and that motion feeds into your sight picture so the view drifts slightly while things settle. Steady Aim damps that sway out and holds the view still, so the crosshair stops wandering under you between adjustments. It doesn't lock your aim or move the gun for you - you still control elevation and bearing exactly as before - it simply removes the wobble that made fine laying harder than it needed to be. The effect is most noticeable when you're making small, precise corrections at long range, where even a little drift in the optics can throw off where you think the barrel is pointed.
Does Steady Aim change how the gun handles or just the view?
Steady Aim only steadies the view - it doesn't change how the gun itself handles in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator. The mount still has its weight, you still traverse and raise at the normal speed, and ranging and firing work exactly as they always did. What's removed is purely the sway carried into your optics, so the sight sits still while everything else about the gun behaves as stock. That makes it a precision aid rather than a handling change: you get a cleaner sight picture for lining up shots without altering the feel of operating the gun. If you want the weight and motion back for immersion, turn Steady Aim off and the sway returns instantly.
What does the Enabled toggle in Steady Aim do?
There's just one control on Steady Aim in IRON NEST: the Enabled toggle. Turn it on to hold the sight steady, and off to bring the sway back and look through the gun the way it moves by default. There are no sensitivity sliders or levels, so you can steady the view for the missions where precise laying matters most and restore the natural motion whenever you want the immersion of a heavy, rocking mount. Sitting next to it is a Diagnose action that runs a quick self-check and confirms the mod is live, useful if the sway ever feels unchanged after you've switched Steady Aim on.
Why would I use Steady Aim in IRON NEST?
Steady Aim is for the shots where precision matters more than immersion in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator. The mount's natural sway looks and feels great, but when you're trying to place a careful round at long range, a drifting sight picture works against you. Steadying the view makes those fine adjustments easier to read, so you can trust where the barrel is pointed and commit to the shot. It's especially handy on tricky targets that demand tight elevation and bearing, and content creators like it for clean, stable footage through the optics. Because it's a simple toggle, you can keep the immersive sway for casual firing and switch to a steady sight only when a shot really has to count.
