Many of the best targeting algorithms, particularly [[GuessFactor Targeting]], require the use of max escape angles. Although an absolute maximum escape angle can be calculated by <code>Math.asin(8 / bulletSpeed)</code> (as explained at [[Maximum Escape Angle]]), a true MEA can be restricted by walls and current heading and speed. As a result, the pixel-precision MEAs needed by [[:Category:Advanced Targeting Strategies|advanced targeting algorithms]] can only be obtained through [[precise prediction]]. A typical method is to predict the farthest distances the enemy could travel perpendicularly left and right, assuming the enemy will use a [[wall smoothing]] algorithm to maximize their escape angle. Once the farthest points are determined, the max escape angles of the target are equal to the absolute values of the [[bearing offset]]s of these points.
