bottom projectile traveling at mach 5
Bottom projectile is traveling at a normal speed, just fired last.
Then the distance must be almost zero, as it exhibits no drop over that range.
That might have something to do with this being a chart for powered missiles.
However, the comment was talking about arrows…
The diagram is about normal unpowered shells. They use different amounts of propellant to achieve different projectile speeds
I see a significant drop…
Are we looking at the same image? DO I NEED TO GET A RULER?
That is not how this concept, time on target, works
It works by firing at mach 5?
It’s easier to just refer to “multiple round simultaneous impact” than to try to explain succinctly, especially since I already got the term kinda wrong (time on target is more of an umbrella category/earlier version)
