Politicians and their advisors either desperately (or corruptly, surely not!) have a history of accepting computer system salesman’s promises of reduced costs and staffing and then you end up with PO Horizon - and does anybody remember FiReControl etc?
Fire control fiasco 'an extraordinary failure'
The new centralised fire and rescue control in Cambridgeshire cost £23m and stands idle.

Cool, I started out as a AQ(B) Aviation Firecontrol Bombs (A-6 Intruders), but some idiot named Tom Cruise made a movie about airplanes and NAVAIR rates filled up overnight. They needs of the Navy converted me to an FT(G)uns then FC.

Not pretty but if you have enough thrust and enough propellant, past around a 1.5:1 thrust/weight ratio drag actually helps make you more controllable if you can select the plane of drag.
Think like how a rudder works on a boat, but for lift.

I wish Sweden would do the same.
Like, why not buy Bohdanas? Brand new, cheap, quickly delivered, supports Ukraine, can be upgraded with firecontrol later.

It’s incredibly rare for anyone in politics to be held accountable. The Conservatives drove FireControl project until it was finally just abandoned even though they had spent £560million pounds of taxpayer money on it. Just thrown away. Nobody accountable.

Last week, a cold storage warehouse caught fire at dawn. It released a noxious mix of ammonia and other odors from melted insulation as well as processed meat.
Many people, including myself, got sick due to the odors wafting a large part of Quezon City.

Gamedevs, this is how Armored Core's firecontrol works.
This isn't "what stats do", this is the "perfect clean version" which then other stats add deliberate imperfections to on top of this afterwards such as recoil, scatter, slew-rate limits, etc etc

![REDACTED:
tangentially, I do wonder how the FCS in Armored Core works in a broad sense since it's not exactly clear beyond being a vauge "lockon" system, and I have an odd feeling the AC6 one is more or less just a reskin of the targeting system in the Soulslike games (press button to focus your attacks on a bad guy)
Osaka [HUND], — 01:35
Yep.
So there are five systems:
Osaka [HUND], — 01:49
AC kill chain design:
RADAR:
Creates a list of OBJECTS whose POSITIONS are indicated in the RADAR DISPLAY. This is typically limited by a line of sight check, and a spherical range (eg, if the distance is > RANGE)
PREDICTOR:
Takes OBJECT POSITIONS , and by analysing how they change through time, projects OBJECT VELOCITY . These are TRACKED OBJECTS from within a cone of possible targets along the forward direction of the AC's CORE or HEAD part.
Selector:
Orders the list of TRACKABLE OBJECTS from MOST to LEAST of something -- typically range, or the middlemost of the CAMERA
LEAD:
By Dividing the TARGET DISTANCE from the AC's position by the ROUND VELOCITY to find the SECONDS OF SECONDS (by solving the inequity of meters to meters to find the total number of seconds)
The NUMBER OF SECONDSis multiplied by the NORMALIZED VELOCITY of the TRACKED OBJECT (a vector who's total length is 1, to find only its direction component). This difference of position is then added to the position of the ``TARGET OBJECT"
SLEW
The AC's arms are instructed to aim at this point ahead of the target. If a round is fired and the target's velocity doesn't changed, the leaded round will strike the target.
The key difference:
What AC historically does:
The arm rotation is calculated, and it is added or subtracted from at a rate which is increased or decreased BY a linear interpolation (a kind of curve) which replicates the heaviness of a robot arm but makes it very precise if the target moves predictably, meaning aim can be frame perfect.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wvlpy7dbsbfqsxkekqpumd7f/bafkreidssx7zglpdzxetqhpud7cvut7atxjlmj7qkabqd724jbprwx6rwe)
![Osaka [HUND], — 01:59
Key differences:
Older AC games treat 'redlock' as the lead calculation.
AC6 has no 'white lock' (non-lead calculation).
As a result, AC6's locktimes are almost identical for both moving and stationary objects unless you're attacking in dumbfire mode.
The added advantage to players in AC6 is you can lock onto objects VERY quickly up close, because lockon is dictated by TIME not ROTATION DISTANCE, which makes all lockons feel identical.
The added disadvantage to the game design is getting up close doesn't present you with much of a defensive advantage, because you're not forcing the robot's arms to turn more, since their SLEW RATE isn't dictated by a traversal rate, but a time it takes for the rotation to match, where the rotation rate is not a factor.
AC6 has no maximum arm rotation speed, and creates the illusion of it via linear interpolation.
This means targets far away track very poorly, and targets up close track very well.
This forces players to get up close and personal, which is what AC6's game design is all about.
Hope this helps.
Personally I think linear interpolation based aiming does have a place, specifically in something like a head vulcan or a defensive weapon, or a missile lock. It could be good for ultra heavy weapons, but it needs a maximum rotation rate otherwise it'd become cartoonishly overpowered very easily.

I'm myself building what I can only describe as "the bastard child of zone of the enders 2, armored core for answer, and war-thunder's fighter jet gameplay", with an atmospheric simulation, aero flight, variable gravity, 6dof, speedy firecontrol, etc... Very Macross-like.

The speed is fine. The control and firecontrol is the problem.
The game could be so much faster, and still work.

Maneuverability is its primary defense, to defeat firecontrol and lock predictions. This thing is doing 25 to 50 Gs sometimes, constantly changing its momentum and direction.

I don't mind the automatic camera. I do mind the instantanious turn-rates, and the completely nonsensical firecontrol system which doesn't give you meaningful evidence of if your shot is guarenteed to hit or not if your target continues along its trajectory.

“When firing at a mini-UAV of the Akila type with cannon weapons at a distance of 3 km, to achieve a value of the conditional probability of hitting a target equal to 0.5, it is necessary to expend from 4 to 13 thousand shells,” says Makarenko.
That’s roughly THREE TONS of munition.
