Trajectory prediction and steering control

<< < (3/3)

EricL:
The 20 degree random variation in shot trajectory is there for a reason.  That reason pre-dates my involvement.  It may be there to make it harder to do precisly what you are discussing I.e. super accurate targetting and shooting.  Or, it may be there simply to improve the chances of really dumb shooters actually hitting something.  Personally, I suspect the latter.

I have no fundemental objection to removing shot trajectory randomization or placing it under DNA control via a .shootspread or similar.  If someone wants to champion this, please file a well articulated suggestion in the suggestions forum.

If people have requests for specific operators in this area to improving targetting I.e. trig operators or similar, I would be happy to add them if they are 1) well designed and 2) garner sufficient consensus.  As above, please file such as well articulated suggestions in the suggestions forum.  Separating multipel suggestiosn into separate topics helps keep the discussion focused and lets me work on things independently and incrementally.  Thanks.
