Re: mid air collision
Our testing, so far, confirms and alingns accuratly with this tool. Longer, flatter shots do indeed have less tendency to interact with each other.
That said, there is a variable that is difficult to compensate for, the fuel have holes. Getting consistent, repeatable contact with the same part of the fuel is next to impossible to do at a rate that is reasonable to be competitive.
The fuel fly fairly straight when fired with backspin, but the apex of the parabolic path can be different from shot to shot because of the non repeatability of fuel contact. Thus the trade offs in choosing which shot to take come down to:
Can you aim reliably enough at a longer distance and repeat the distance of the shot enough to successfully make shots at a higher rate than shooting close and dealing with fuel collision will produce?
