I've been using angular ever since I read up on turret tracking calculations. I have never understood why people use transversal. Good job OP.

Why? Good thread.

Snip.
Edit: you know what? If you can't be bothered to read the OP just keep using transversal and be happy.

I read the OP - I'm even pretty good at maths. This whole discussion is still more pointless than whinging about AFK Cloaking. Many electrons could have been spared. Right name, wrong name, the mechanic is the same.
Oh good. So when you are trying to manipulate tracking, do you show transversal or angular velocity on your overview?

Interesting. Certainly explains why people insist on transversal so thanks.

yeah, so?
The "so" is in the "tl" that you didn't "r". Just carry on using transversal on your overview and it will be fine.
