Re: Calculating Angle to fire at

I agree with Sean. With so many variables in the system the only sane way to approach this is by testing your shooter, and averaging the results for each angle or distance or launch velocity, then using a look up table for each distance (or angle)

and if possible, only allow your launcher to vary one setting (angle or launch velocity).

Rick had a good point. In the real world military pilots let the computer do all their magic, they pull the trigger, then they use a joystick to walk the rounds into the target.

Even an A10 warthog with its computer controlled targeting system cannot hit a target 1 mile away with the first round (bullet).
