Is wiki wrong about MEA?

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Aren't we confusing increase time to hit with increase EA? Longer time to hit has an advantage to decrease bot shadow, but it is not nesesary results in increase of EA.

Continuing our discussion of border cases, if bullet and bot have the same speed. The best strategy is run away from the firing bot. The bullet will never catch up, but the EA is the smallest possible here, i.e. zero.

I run my simulations. You guys are correct asin(vBullet/vBot) is the correct formula.

Now back to the drawing board to see where the logic fails me.

It is not the correct one. It just has a higher value than the real MEA all the time so it works.

Oh' I missed that part. If you are faster than the bullet MEA can't be calculated because it keeps increasing.

No. It is always easier to go by a straight line but for example you've calculated a MEA of Pi radians. Going directly doesn't help because even if we arrived earlier than the orbital one, the wave could hit. I'll make some calculations to be sure that it is true with smaller angles too.
