In-depth functions

What's the mathematical function for bullet velocity in accordance to the RO2 physics?

 

[Gustav Mahler]

If they're "true to life", then the horizontal component is constant and the vertical component is -9.8t. Unless of course you point upwards. Then the horizontal becomes initial velocity times the cosine of the angle between barrel and horizontal and the vertical becomes initial velocity times the sine of that angle minus 9.8t.

(Vi)sin(angle) - 9.8t

That all ignores wind. How they did it in game is probably a simplification as well for efficiency.

Yeah I highly doubt the bullet "drop" is true to life, although not as over exaggerated as BC2's peashooters.

Would be nice to calculate the exact drop when judging by the distance of the target. Guess I'll have to play a lot of marksman
