TL;DR
I am creating software that gets the following parameters ( bullet velocity, ballistic coefficient of a bullet, distance to the target, my velocity, enemies velocity) the program needs to calculate where to shoot to hit the enemy. I need an equation that calculates that After countless hours of wasted googling, I decided to ask you all, maybe some of you will be able to help.

Thank you for any help you give

Welcome to PF. :smile:

Kind of like the M1 Abrams tank main gun aiming system?

Are you wanting to include wind velocity? What ranges and round velocities are you thinking about?
Yes kind of like abrams aiming system , no wind and WW2 Aircraft gun velocities (0.5cals, 20mm mg 151, 30mm mk 108/103, hispanos etc.) And ranges from 10m to 5km
