Simulating trickstabs under to-scale simulation with realistic tracking

## Assumptions

- RED Spy moves at 320 HU/s

- BLU Heavy is standing still aiming minigun at spy

- BLU Heavy has top 20% reaction time at 200ms and NASA wifi with 0 ping

- Starting distance is 60 HU

## Tracking Behavior:

So the way humans track targets in FPS games is we form a mental prediction of where the target is and aim there. This is because humans have a reaction time of 200-300ms ish. If we're not aiming at this mental prediction, we'd always be aiming at where the target *was 200-300ms ago*

Because of this when targets change directions suddenly, theres an error between our prediction of the target and the true target position. If the target is far away, this error angle isnt really noticeable if you have decent reaction time. But when the target is close by, it becomes much more pronounced.

Not even a Kashimo fan, but here's my argument for why its very clearly EM waves

Everytime MBA Kashimo does some shit, Gege explains it. And everytime Gege explains some shit Kashimo can do, he shows it.

He explains four (4) abilities in total

1: Enhanced agility, which we see Gege showcase ✅️

2: Sound waves, which we see Gege showcase ✅️

3: EM waves, which mysteriously was never shown ⁉️

4: X ray vision, which we see Gege showcase ✅️

Coincidentally, Gege also shiws this mysterious energy beam ability that Kashimo does which just goes unexplained⁉️

The point is its pretty fucking obvious if you exercise a modicum of reading comprehension that the author intent is that these beams ARE his EM waves.

Why is my feathering system unstable on re-entry?

When I transition to the feathering state, the craft noses up rapidly, flips over, then starts spinning. I thought the idea was that the COL is behind and above the COM causes the craft to maintain a belly flop?

How the fuck would Gege have written Yuji vs. Dabura? He clearly had at least ideas for how that would go when he wrote this

Creatures do no damage and arent scary at all once you realize this

This is one of my main gripes with the game. I get that without weapons they didnt wanna make creatures do too much damage, but as it is theres basically nothing that can actually kill the player without you being stupid save for the out of bound leviathans.

I understand that backtranslations are generally used to essentially turn monolingual corpora into additional paired examples we can train on.

However, I dont really see back translation be used to encourage consistency. IE: a lot of modern NMT systems will hallucinate fluent sounding text in the target language with semantics not present in the original source text.

Wouldnt using back translation to encourage invertibility address this? If a translated target sequence contains fabricated details or is missing details, then its penalized because you would struggle to recover the original source sequence.

Yet tin practice, back translation is only applied on monolingual data, but not on the paired data as well. Why is this?
