it does since it’s an exponent. its not a flat multiplier. the resulting cos value gets affected percentualy differently depending on size of the angle. i.e the bigger the angle the bigger effect the exponent m will have on the resulting number.
i mean, i could be, i’m not 100% on this. but its not like i’m grabbing things out of thin air. I absolutely could be affected by confirmation bias, but i don’t think i am.
the graphic is just a reference, its not the formula. there is no need to write out the coefficients that are later introduced as they are constants and not affected by real world measurements. That graphic also lacks the material coefficients and the constants used to augment the length/diameter ratio before using hyperbolic tangent.
It’s derived from the equation; cos(x)*m - > coefficient/modifier required for the calculator to properly handle estimations at angles >0.
In fact, what we get from this is a flat modifier (which is flat only for the given angle, not that the growth will be linear!), which grows exponentially with each new introduced angle…
Like I said before, lets agree to disagree, I think you’re reaching for things that aren’t there, and if there’s anyone who can clear this up really is Mr. Odermatt himself. His mail should be on the calculator’s website if you want clarification.
sounds like there just being pedantic for no reason, if they do have one i would like them to explain it in a simple manor, as they should be able to if they truly grasp what the fck they are on about.
Nah, never seemed to be a staple for the warrior sadly… only a recent addition tbh… and with the replacement of the Warrior with the Boxer I doubt we’d even get it now…
Yeah Warriors never recieved the netting in service, if you look at the most recent video from the Army of the training in poland the warriors are still rocking no camo netting and just odd bits of bushes/trees from the local AO.
Eh boxer won’t enter service for a couple of years, on top of that the MOD have not shared any plans to get a boxer variant with the same capability as warrior for the IFV role. However there are a few option out there with the CT40 so I doubt there will be much of an issue procuring one, but you never know with the MOD.
There’s already the LMUK Turret integrated on the Boxer, iirc has parts commonality with Ajax turret too.
Although there’s also the whole Stormer replacement in the works, they might make that into an IFV and M-Shorad variant and have commonality there.
