Yes you are correct about CA. I can't think of any consistent catapult shooters here. I think a big factor is the use of vision tracking (thanks to the assistance of 254 and 971). Wheeled shooters give a more consistent straight line shot that allows varying distance. Catapults appear to be more dependent on a set distance.
