[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1327656, member: 99239"] Hello, Radar data from Overberg facility in South Africa shows that environmental conditions will show greater affects on the projectile when it is at its slower velocity than at its' fastest velocity. If you could picture which velocity does same environmental conditions affect a plane at...faster plane speed or slower plane speed?? The "issue" becomes....do you take the environmental conditions you can triple check with instruments at your position or CAN you read the downrange conditions (where the bullet is slower and more "influenced" by the environmental conditions) better?? six of one, half dozen of the other...... The BIGGER picture is the various and different micro environments the projectile flies into, through and out of while enroute from firing position to target position. For some light reading on that subject...I recommend on reading on how hot air balloons can take off, fly around and land at same location with no directional thrust engine/propeller system :) All just by going up or down in roughly 10ft micro environments to get different wind direction. THEN pair that effect with the terrain affect and you get real world data. THEIS [/QUOTE]
