Shooting process

Although the bot classes have very different shooting behavior, they all share the same shooting process:

1. aiming for the time of the aiming duration
2. attacking for the time of the attack duration
   • shooting one or more rounds each with one or more bullets (specified by the bullet configuration) towards the target
   • each bullet will either hit with the attack power or miss completely according to the precision
     • the used precision value is determined at the moment the bullet is fired
       • if the target is within short range, the short range precision is used
       • if the target is between short and mid range, the mid range precision is used
       • if the target is between mid and long range, the long range precision is used
       • if the target is out of range, the bullet will miss
     • for each bullet the precision counter is incremented by the corresponding precision value
       • if the precision counter is greater or equal to 100 the bullet will hit and the precision counter will be decremented by 100
       • otherwise the bullet will miss
3. continue with 1.

Rough thoughts

Is there a different precision value used when shooting from mid of short and mid range
Explain Sniper misses
How fast do bullets travel in the air
Is there further information neccessary?
