I've heard that fin stabilized rounds tend to fly upwind as wind pushed the finned tail further downwind than the head of the projectile causing it to turn into the wind. If this is the case, could a round be designed that had small fins on the head of the projectile as well which would not entirely stop this effect but control it so that the round turned just far enough into the wind to minimize defelection errors due to windage? Perhaps not a perfect solution but enough to reduce the number of variables that a low tech weapon system and/or less highly trained gunners would have to deal with to get reasonable accuracy? |
