Sherlock & Griffin
Sir Sherlock, I’ve been studying the enemy’s siege tactics and noticed some odd patterns in their arrows—could you help me understand why they choose those angles?
The angles aren’t arbitrary; they’re chosen to balance gravity and wind. An arrow released at a higher elevation has a longer flight time, giving wind more influence. By selecting a shallow angle you limit that drift but sacrifice range. The pattern you see is likely a compromise between maximum distance and accuracy in the prevailing breeze. Notice if the arrows consistently aim slightly left of target—probably a way to counter the dominant wind direction. Check the wind logs; the enemies are probably using the same physics you do.
Thank you, Sir. I’ll review the logs and adjust our own release angles to keep the arrows straight, and maybe add a small leftward offset to counter any breeze. Your insight is most useful.
Good plan. Adjusting for wind is the only way to keep consistency. Keep an eye on the logs and tweak as conditions change.
Indeed, sir. I’ll keep the logs open and adjust as soon as the wind shifts. Your guidance is clear.
Excellent, stay vigilant.
Thank you, Sir. I will remain vigilant.
Glad to help. Stay focused.
Thank you, Sir. I shall remain focused.
Glad you’re taking it seriously. Keep the focus sharp.
