Instead of measuring an object's speed as m/s or miles/hour, a speed can also be measured as an angle. A good example is the suns movement across the sky, where it moves 360° in 24 hours, which makes the angular velocity 15°/hour. | Instead of measuring an object's speed as m/s or miles/hour, a speed can also be measured as an angle.

Just as a circle can be described as an angle of 360°, it can also be described as an angle of 2π radians | Just as a circle can be described as an angle of 360°, it can also be described as an angle of 2π radians, meaning that one radian equals to roughly 57° (360/2π). | ||
The ingame overview can show the angular velocity of a target if you open the settings and tick a box under the tab called columns. Angular velocity is used to determine the penalty to the hit chance based on the turret's tracking ability. Relying on high angular velocities to stay alive is called speed tanking (not to be mixed up with kiting, which is to keep something at range). | The ingame overview can show the angular velocity of a target if you open the settings and tick a box under the tab called columns.
