Something is very wrong with flak
-
OK
- I do confirm that the whole thing is probabilistic in term of damage
- i do confirm that the timing between canon shot and actual explosion is fixed, independant of real flight time
- i do confirm that jinking HORIZONTALLY has no effect whatsoever
- i do confirm that jinking vertically has effect on VISUAL explosions beeing lower or higher, but NO EFFECT on damage probability (i know this is stupid but hey , this is MPS / RPx code….that would not be a first ;))
mhhh OK, that seems like a new project to me remove entirely probabilistic code and code real targeting
-
Thank you !

i may probably make a combination of probabilistic AND targeting….
indeed , we want jinking beeing efficient , we want time of flight to be correct, but we also want in case of no jinking to keep the ditribution of PK that has been put in place in RP5…
because there a plenty of effects in the targeting (wind , radar prediction accuracy , ranging accuracy etc… that would be far too complex to code and to fine tune, for at the end returning back to a PK that is the one we know today and that has been researched during RP5 time
so in short, keep the good from the past, and modernize the whole thing to make it more realistic especially for jinking effect

coding completed
thank you for the bug report
another stone in the BMS wall

One part of me is amazed that ballistic flak is becoming a thing. Another part of me wonders how effective will point fire flak be against fast maneuverable jets.

The magic of BMS happening again…
5PM : hey, cool new coding project, but we should integrate wind, and so on…
10:30pm : coding completeThank you for your dedication to this amazing sim !

I agree that this is just amazing. I thought mav-jp must have been joking when he said it was done. Whatever happened to 3-4 weeks?

why joking ?
This was actually very easy to do.

Coding is black-magic to me. You have my admiration!

Maybe easy for you, JP. For me it would be like a monkey typing Shakespeare, but I digress. The point is not how easy it was for you, but the constant effort you guys put into BMS
