When firing forward, it worries me that the ball curves in flight when firing forward. I am simply stating facts. I like it, however it is inaccurate. Precision is clearly on par, but accuracy has me worried.

Granted it is a prototype, but I'm stating facts. The catapult system is ultimately unreliable if you cannot assert control over the x axis. With fine tuning yes, this will be rectified, but as to your prototype, it is inaccurate.

Regardless of the facts, I do not find it appropriate for you to ridicule what is clearly my personal opinion.
