Default Re: OT: Looking for a good physics site

Yeah - they're the dumb-fire (accelerates in a straight line in whatever direction you pointed it - doesn't make decisions in-flight) missile targeting solution (goal: HIT THE TARGET HARD) for a target that isn't evading (e.g., another dumb-fire missile). If the target is evading, or you can track target mid-flight, you want something a little more organic (such as a simple "accelerate in direction of current target's location")
