magnum trajectory calculator

[smokeyh2 1,512]

Any new magnum users might find this a very useful tool to study

 

might give you some idea of how this weapon works

Thats useless cos we don't know velocity or acceleration.

[smokeyh2 1,512]

well maybe somebody in the tanki development department might be kind enough to tell us

the trajectory equation is useless for gaming

the formula for range, time of flight and max height are useful but still not really

point to note, acceleration due ot gravity is 5 m/s^2 for Magnum

Wait, so Tanki gravity is lower than real life? Or is this just for the projectile?

To use this tool, you will have to calculate the projectile speed by getting the numbers from the wiki and your charge numbers, which are % numbers. If I am not mistaken, you will have to take the following formula:

 

Release velocity in m/s = Min projectile speed + ((Max projectile speed - Min projectile speed)/ #charge steps)  * %Charge / 5

example figures:

87.5 m/s = 35 + (140 - 35) /20 * 50/5

 

But I doubt that this will help one in the game  :P

Or you can just practice using the magnum <_<

Sounds like it  :)

Actually, it seems that this might just happen in the future.

I always listen to the reload sound to decide when to release the spacebar; it somehow makes me hit targets 7/10.

You'll get some sort of feeling for it.

 

And if you're camping just set Magnum to a decent angle which you shouldn't change unless you're going to camp on a different place. 30 degrees and 15-45% power is very usefull for me most of the time. I calculate from a few shots on the same angle to see where the projectile lands, and adjust me spacebar-time in between those ranges.

magnum is so different! ... a pro magnum cant be a pro railgunist, and vice versa i guess

all luck guess work in magnum.... and hord core skill practice for it too

if you go for claculation then you are already dead
