On my honor...  ..I can pretty much agree with that honor system, but on the other hand, if the contact is in visual range, they would certainly have the ability to give a very accurate reading on bearing, AND would they not be able to give pretty good (maybe not exact) range as well, at least for nearby contacts ? Of course the perfect solution to this problem would be the ability to allow better range accuracy for closer contacts, not so much for farther away. Yes I know this is harder to model than it may sound, but we can wish anyway!  |
Actually the best way to do visual errors in range would be a random error between an upper and lower error limit which varies with distance. That is hard coded into the game and can't be touched without actually breaking our contract with Ubi not to modify any of the executables. I bet they have a whole school of those lawyer guys.
