Inclined Shooting: Calculation
Equation
To manually calculate inclination adjustment, we only need to know our typical bullet drop for the target distance and our angle of fire:
BDA * cos(angle°) - (.01 * angle°) = Adjusted vertical hold in MRADs
Where:
- BDA = bullet drop adjustment
Data Collection
Angle of fire can be determined by opening the in-game firing angle indicator using Shift+Ctrl+K. Unadjusted bullet drop information can be found on the in game range card or collected prior to operation start as D.O.P.E.
Calculation Example
Sgt McShooty is deployed as a Spotter (Manual) on a Honeybadger. He ranges a priority target at 900m with an inclination of 20°. Looking at his range card, he notes he would typically need to adjust 9.8 MRADs up for this range.
9.8 * cos(20°) - (.01 * 20) = 9.0 MRADs
The adjusted vertical hold for 20° of inclination is 9.0 MRADs.
