Will Firing When Turning Ever be "Fixed"?

<< < (7/7)

Mattilald Anguisad:
I dunno, but raycast weapons work for me just fine. I'm certain I'm not "that" goog with them, but I have no problems with hitting with those 3 weapons.Balistic weapons still do inherit the rotational speed of the ship.

lyravega:
Oh yeah, projectiles drag wildly...

Machiavelliest:

When a gun emplacement is being turned while firing, in real physics it actually imparts -linear- velocity, not angular velocity.  The bullets do skew because of the motion, but they follow a linear path.  They don't wrap around a spinning ship like a tornado, which is what angular velocity implies.
