What that guy says is correct, the correct formula should use the tan() function. But for our purposes the result is the same. There would be no point using the correct formula, it would yield the same result.
Eg. when tha angle is 1 degree, for a 30m high ship: - correct formula: distance = 1718.70 m - wrong formula: distance = 1718.96 m So the error is few centimetres. Still I don't know why this approximate formula was used. Maraz |

Well I don't know why they used an American style AoB function in the TDC either. I guess it was something that slipped by.
Its weird... in high school I hated math, hell I flunked Math 11, but it wasn't until I started to play SH3 that I actually started to like math. They should have this game in schools!
