Advanced Ballistic Calculator

This Ballistic Calculator uses a static radar to find the launch angle needed for a projectile to meet its target. It accurately accounts for both horizontal and vertical displacement components and output to a robotic pivot value. It works for all weapons in the DLC.

Select the weapon type from the property dropdown box, then connect a Static radar to the composite input, this is used to produce two outputs that are the robotic pivot angle of the gun, and an on/off output that displays if a target is been tracked.

This only outputs the elevation angle it does not output an azimuth for the turret. So if you want this to be functional you need to take internal logic from this MC and use it in your own turret controls.

If you're interested in how this function was derived one of the SUVAT equations was used { y = uy*t + 0.5*a*t^2 }, where y is the vertical displacement in metres, uy is the vertical launch speed in m/s, a is the acceleration due to gravity in m/s/s, and t is the time in seconds. This was developed to consider launch angle by substituting { uy = u*sinʘ } for uy, and { t = x/(u*cosʘ) } for t. This substitution produced the function { y = x*Tanʘ - 4.9*(x/(u*cosʘ)^2 }, using trigonometric identities {1/cos^2ʘ = (1+Tan^2ʘ)} the equation can be solved using the quadratic formula, in which,
{ Θ =aTan((-x +/- sqrt(y^2 - 4*(-4.9x^2 / u2) * (-y - (4.9x^2 / u^2))) / (2*(-4.9x^2 / u^2))) }.

Note: the acceleration due to gravity for bullets in stormworks is 30m/s/s so substitute 15 for 4.9 in the equation { y = x*Tanʘ - 4.9*(x/(u*cosʘ)^2 }, and solve.
