Xenuria,
Here's an easy question for you:
Quote:
Assume for a moment that you have infinite optimal range and you have two targets to choose from: The first target has a transverse velocity of 400m/s and a signature radius of 60m. A second target has a transverse velocity of 800m/s and a signature radius of 120m. Which target would you have a greater chance to hit?

I would just use a smartbomb. Since my optimal range is forever I would be able to hit both targets.
Considering my question is something of a trick, I suppose I get what I deserve when your answer is for a non-turret ship!

If you had left it at the quip about the smartie fit, you'd have fared better in my view.
Good luck with the CSM elections.

Xenuria,
What if I gave you another clue to make it easier. You can assume that both targets are at the same distance. I have revised the wording of the question above. Good luck.
