Hey, I've been thinking about how the wind messes with our firepower on the field—ever wondered how much of a tactical edge a good anemometer gives us compared to guessing by feel?
Swot Swot
Sure. Wind’s main influence on projectiles is the drag force and the Magnus effect for spin‑stabilized rounds. If you can measure the wind speed at the same height as the barrel, you get a reliable value for that drag, which lets you adjust the angle or power to compensate. Guessing by feel is highly subjective and ignores local turbulence. An anemometer gives you a repeatable, quantifiable input—roughly a 10–20 % improvement in hit probability for high‑velocity, long‑range shots, especially when wind shifts rapidly. For short‑range or low‑power engagements the margin is smaller, but still better than blind guessing. So, from a tactical standpoint, the sensor provides a measurable edge and reduces uncertainty.

Sounds about right, and if you’re really serious about hitting targets, a sensor is a good idea. My only gripe is that I still end up relying on good old instinct when the crew’s not watching, just to keep them on their toes. But if the numbers help the team stay in line, I’m all for it.

Instinct can be useful for quick decisions, but it lacks the precision of measured data. If the crew can trust the numbers, they'll keep their focus on the mission rather than guessing. Still, having a quick gut check can serve as a sanity check, just don’t let it override the sensor reading when accuracy matters.

Yeah, data beats guesswork most of the time, but I keep my gut handy as a quick sanity check—just don’t let it steer the ship when we’re aiming for precision.
