~~EVE relies on~~ math ~~to determine~~ the ~~outcome of events, like all computer games~~. ~~A player can develop a feel for the inner workings~~ of ~~the game by experience~~ and ~~practice over time. Such knowledge is often powerful and can tip the balance in pvp encounters. Some~~, but ~~not all~~, ~~of this practical knowledge stems from an intuitive understanding of~~ the ~~math behind the scenes~~.

This article look looks into the equations and math that is working behind the scenes whenever turret weapons are used. There will be plenty of math and graphs, but these will also be explained, so that the reader can draw own conclusions. This allows the reader to see for example how the random damage distribution looks like, how far into falloff a target can be without loosing any noticeable damage and when tracking becomes more important for DPS than the damage multiplier. All these things can be used to maximize the DPS of a ship.

This ~~article will look into~~ the ~~math that controls gunnery. Hopefully this will provide insights~~ into the ~~mechanics of~~ damage~~-dealing that could take many months to develop otherwise~~. ~~The content is based on math rather than experience,~~ to ~~ensure that~~ the ~~information is as objective and unbiased as possible, and that the reader can verify everything that is written here independently~~.
