How it works

Uses ballistic range and divides it by planet radius to find the angle it would create in radians. Then rotates the position vector around by that angle to create the position of the impact point. It then corrects for ground height.

How to use it

Use for distances less than ~70km to get an accurate reading of the impact point. Greater than this and the ballistic range formula doesn't account for the planet curving away, meaning it will have greater dispersions. If you still need an impact point from that far then use the long range version.

    Does this take planet rotation into account?
