Thanks HT, for the explanation.  I suspected manevering helped, but wasn't sure:

"But as stated before manuvering or changing speed do increase the size of the box, there by lowering your chances of getting hit when turning or going faster. "

Got killed by Puffy ack the other night. It wa the first time in about 6 months that it got me. Thats also about how often it gets me. I never fly evasives to avoid it. I used to look out the window to admire it but since its gone from ack that looked like real ack to ack where each round looks like a unrealistic  perfectly round cotton ball I dont even bother doing that anymore.

Dont know how you guys manage to get hit by it so often.

Personally I think it should become more accurate the more planes are in the area. Meaning the larger the number of aircraft in range of ack. the more accurate the puffy ack should become andf thus larger the likely hood some will be lost to it.

This would help in at least a small way against the Horde.

but i dont think that could be coded.

That is the problem and that's why our puffy ack is so lame/gamey/unfair.

Forget it HiTech,  Just model 20 SA3 SAM's on each boat.

As to the other, Im giving up trying to explain it to you other than stating if 1 shell is fired in a 10x10x10 box randomly every 1 sec.

Where you are in that box has no effect on the chances of getting hit.

Depend of the unit of the 10*10*10 box I guess it's yard ?

This is totaly incorect even if the size of the box was not altered.

Basic probabily theory.

The chances of getting hit remain the same no mater where you are in the box,  I.E. manuvering would neather raise nor lower your chances.

Now as a real note, you are always at the center of the box no mater if you manuver or not, the box is realy just a way of describing what is going on.

But as stated before manuvering or changing speed do increase the size of the box, there by lowering your chances of getting hit when turning or going faster.


And now for the insult:

Ive explained it before (furball understood how it worked correctly) , you obviously have read it (but didn't understand it, nor basic probabilty ) , It is realy is not my job to teach you how things work. But when you make completly inacurate statments I let you know they are incorect so other people will not belive incorect facts.

And finaly letting you in on the way things work (like ack) is not a right on your part. Infact you have crossed the line when you personaly attacked me with.

 

And I would apreciate an apology.

Yes but shouldn't the box get bigger as the distince to the target increases? Wouldn't that more accurately model shooter inaccuracies?
