Graduate Help with drag coefficient calculated from ballistic coefficient
That's what I have been doing, using a constant Cd, but as you can see from the figure you are referring, the Cd varies dramatically as a function of the Mach number in the range shown. So approximating the trajectory with a constant value doesn't seem right, specially with high velocity rifle...- programador

Graduate Help with drag coefficient calculated from ballistic coefficient
I want to make a video game about snipers and I would like it to have proper bullet physics, not something very accurate, but with "credible" bullet physics. So I need to implement a simple trajectory solver. I thought of taking into account just the gravity and turbulent air drag. The...- programador
