I still find a straight line way easier to calculate than a balistic curve including horizontal and vertical attrition, wind, temperature differences, initial speed, gravity, weight, density and so many other variables.

Trunion tilt (tanker term: tip angle of chassis to horizon, causing shot to go left or right of target). Rarely are planes absolutely level. However, we're talking about a country that decided to test-fire a Howitzer from a C130.:wtf: No see-you, no heal-you. Ptthh.;P - Der Dokter
