Why nobody has made an extremelly cheap mortar where the ammo has a preprogrammed path to travel while falling and exploding?
>>65012236Like, a VT /Prox fuse for 81mm Mortars?Huh. Shocked nobody has.Really, nobody apparently has made a VT/Proximity fuse for mortar rounds, because OP has never heard of one.Somebody, please step up and fill this glaring munitions gap.
>>65012236>where the ammo has a preprogrammed path to travel while falling and exploding?that doesn't sound very cheap
>>65012236All mortars follow a precalculated ballistic trajectory. If it misses your target, you should have done your calculations better.

I'm so glad we gave internet access to the entire world
>>65012236IGU is not that cheap
>>65012236>Preprogammed pathEVERYONE HAS BALLISTIC ARCS IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR 9.8 m/s^2 SURFACE GRAVITY
>>65016396Surface gravity is not constant, a ICBM with theoretically perfect quality control and a perfect trajectory compensating for planetary rotation fired on a ballistic arc will still miss by over a mile if you assume a spherical planet. Even if it was a perfect sphere the mass is inconstant so it would still not hit the aim point.
>>65012236Rocket artillery exists
>>65016459Okay but those are icbms, we are talking about fwell below 20Km here
