Are you saying that you have to add "rise" to the trajectory in order to show the drop of the round?

CAPTION: Figure 2-44. Bullet drop of M855 ammunition with M16A2 (8/3).

Kind of. When zeroed to a fairly long range you are looking at the bullet falling on the target. In order to get the bullet to fall on the target it must rise beforehand(see diagram) :-D .

combatAreaManager.use=0 turns off the out-of-bounds timer completely.

Which also is true in PR since when you press fire you can no longer affect the bullet/grenade. I.E. the second you've "lased" the target the info is wrong.

Anthony Lloyd, himself a former soldier in the British army and a Northern Ireland and Gulf War veteran:
"The men inside (the APC) might have been UN but they were playing by a completely different set of rules. They were Swedes; in terms of individual intelligence, integrity and single-mindedness I was to find them among the most impressive soldiers I had ever encountered. In Vares their moment had come."

Yeah, the SOFLAM makes no sense. That's just (project) reality.

Tanks can zoom and helicopters cannot not really, especially now the tv missile is gone. Excluding any other information, higher view distance makes tanks more powerfull and helicopters more vulnerable to them

On kashan now with a manpad I lose lock while watching the plane fly away because its got 600m range. I cant think of a map where they can disappear into the mist while locked, jabal maybe?



That chart looks good, official figures? Zeroing the rifle to anything past 500m would seem pretty stupid going by that which helps explain why the m14 is popular for engaging at that distance and beyond
