combatplus2 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think this issue has been touched on before (probably Yurch), but I couln't find the thread... Recently I found myself in a high-speed Apollo vs. Apollo shootout. We were travelling parallel with each other on nearly flat ground, with our speeds matched exactly, shooting at each other "broadside". Now, believing that my shell would properly inherit my vehicle's velocity, I fired without leading. Sadly after a few attempts, each shell landed well behind my target in the dirt. I only then succeeded by leading my target (which should not have been required since our *relative velocity* was about zero). Have other folks seen this effect? ... Are there any plans in the works to have projectiles inherit the gun's velocity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yes, well known and a long standing wish (although not yet on the wish list). Would probably get some support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
