I tested it now .. it seems that 76mm does not take ballistic trajectory into account. And then it does not take projectile speed into account. That's why it can't hit.

CIWS seems to shoot in straight line, not parabola. It also has much much faster bullets. That's why it can hit. It's just my theory at the moment, I'm doing more tests.

Edit: I did some more test .. CIWS shoots nice ballistic curve .. and it leads the shot nicely .. so it just hits. I just can see the difference in the database.
