speed estimation using scope/uzo reticule_finished

e.g.: target is at 45°: when looking at it its not only shorter (in the scope) cause of the angle but the speed you measure is only hmm lets say "perpendicular speed" (hope you get my meaning).

If thats the cause you could only get speed with your method when the target already passed optimum shooting angle.

I think you're right... the method is very precise at 90 degrees AoB, but degrades significantly as the AoB increases or decreases. You could compensate using trigonometry and AoB though, but knowing the exact AoB of a target that's far away isn't that simple

Good tip, though, and something that can be built on
