Thread:Talk:Maximum Escape Angle/Is wiki wrong about MEA?/reply (5)

I've just calculated it. If it is correct moving away helps.

            latVel = Math.sin(angle) * 8;
            advVel = -Math.cos(angle) * 8;
            timeToHit = distance / (bulletSpeed + advVel);
            mea = latVel / (distance - (timeToHit * advVel) / 2) * hitTime;

This is the formula. It thinks that the bot is moving at full speed and with brute force search I got these results:

Bullet Power 1:

LatVel: 7.762365810207972 AdvVel: -1.9353751647973414

Bullet Power 2:

LatVel: 7.6504380477042835 AdvVel: -2.338973637781894

Bullet Power 3:

LatVel: 7.468643411977614 AdvVel: -2.8669435963624013

Distance doesn't change anything if it isn't zero.
