PM doesn't care about GF's, but a movement that is easy for a GFT gun to hit is usually easy for a PM gun to hit.
If you could fit a .08 probability of reversing every tick without loosing performance elsewhere, that would be amazing. The reason Yatagan's movement is small enough to fit distance control and good energy monitoring is because it's so simple and elegant. When the enemy fires, either never reverse, always reverse, or have a random chance of reverse or not reversing.
I guess we'll try a distance of 200/220 in the next version. It will almost certainly harm performance against HOT, but the gain against PM might make up for it.
I think I might have something which keeps full functionality but also reverses with a 0.08 probability. The problem is, it also reverses with any enemy bullet fire, so should I decrease that probability? I'm thinking down to about 0.06, since there needs to be a good chance of a direction change happening during the flight time of the bullet, but there was already one at bullet fire time so we don't want it reversing all over the place. Or should I stick with 0.08?
Never mind, I figured out a way around that too, all while using even less codesize than our previous reverse method, so I added back setAdjustGunForRobotTurn(true). Being able to feed custom variables to a random multiplier can do miraculous things! Particularly when you only want probabilistic behaviour, and not absolute behaviour. But hey, a probability of 1 in 20k is pretty much 0, right? ;-)
