# Overview
## Advanced ballistics simulation
Advanced ballistics changes above and beyond the ballistics module. Bullet characteristics, barrel length, air temperature, barometric pressure, ammo temperature and air drag are all used to dynamically calculate ballistics.
Advanced ballistics changes above and beyond the ballistics module. Bullet velocity and flight paths are dynamically simulated in response to the following factors:
- Ambient air pressure, temperature and humidity
- Wind drift
- [Magnus effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect) (spin drift)
- [Coriolis effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect) and [Eötvös effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eotvos_effect) (Earth rotation)
- Loss of stability during transonic flight
- Ammo temperature
- Barrel length
## Advanced drag model
Realistic drag modeling based on the G Model and real-world ballistic coefficient data.
## Wind simulation
Wind speed varies with altitude. Terrain features, buildings and other objects disrupt the wind.
## Protractor
Adds a protractor for quick reference when sniping.
