Title: A new bomber and maybe a few tanks
Post by: skorpion on September 22, 2010, 08:02:04 PM
Well i was wondering if HTC would ever think about putting in a few new bombers because (correct me if im wrong) 18 i think it is bombers. well i think you should add the PBY Catalina bomber. It could pick up pilots who bailed over water and take them back to base. Also each pilot picked up would count as an automatic gunner for you. :airplane: Anyways a few new tanks would be nice. You could add a crusader tank and maybe a japaneese type 90 tank. (i dont know its exact name im guessing on that one) Well tell me what ya think and if we could get theese  :banana:

If its the same guy, I was helping him out with some GV stuff a week or so back in the DA. The guy has promise seeing as he was able to use math to get my range down to within 200yds, at 2.7k out.

Damn, I was going to have him teach me that. Try to get him back on if you can, that would be very usefull to know.

Could you at least point me to what section I need to read? Those books can be several hundred pages long  :lol.

Mathematics is all relative, you need to read the lot or bits and pieces wont make sense.

I have a decent foundation in Algebra. I just want to know how to find the range to my target.

If you have a solid foundation then you are/should (be) able to find intersection of two lines at a point. Example: Slope (Trajectory/ angle of muzzle), starting point Altitude or position. Add this with the plane of the earth where you would like for the projectile to hit. Basically, y=mx+b, if you have any knowledge of Algebra you more than likely have seen this at some point of another, but on a 2D scale.

velocity/acceleration of freefall, logrithms, force created by air resistance, triginometry, more logrithms.....

anyone else care to add?

Or you could see the size of the tank and realize smaller=further away bigger=closer like a normal person

Or you could just learn the SUVAT equations for projectile motion (there's only 5 of them...) and hope that drag doesn't do too much in AH  ;)

easy... point at target. look at the size of the tank, and use the ticks to range. iirc if the tank fits between the markers its 400 yards. then 800 is 1/2 the size of the tank, 1200 is 1/4, etc

gah i dont even know how he got to within 200yds in that gv it was insane! :rock if i can find him when he gets back from paris i will ask him to teach you that nemisis
