Lets start off...
In order for the cheat sheet to work you will first have to be a whatever class with a Range Finder tool to fully control the hades.

To know what i am talking about, look at this image...


I refer those small refrence points on the Hades ironsight as JOTTS. So the first jott is the one right on the cursos. So JOTT 1 is the Curso. The JOTT 2 is below that one.

The refrence points here are exactly on. Meaning there could be a pattern between ranges. But because of how the projectile drops, it is a bit uneven on range between each jott.
The Cheat Sheet
Remember to have a Range Finder during your matches if you are responsible for the hades gun.
You are not in it for the circle to aid your shots.

Take a quick mental note of the distance from your ship to the other ship that is visible.

Hades has an arming time. Lesmok increases its minimum distance, while Greased decreases it because of the speed at which the shots go.
Greased makes the projectile go slow, so it has a shorter minimum distance + maximum distance.
Lesmok is the opposite.


DEFAULT AMMO (Or ammo that does not affect the velocity/speed of the projectile)
Jott 1 (On Cursor) - ???
Jott 2 - 300
Jott 3 - 600 (2sec)
Jott 4 - 1000 (4sec)
Jott 5 - 1300 (5sec)

LESMOK
Jott 1 (On Cursor) - ???
Jott 2 - 1000 (2sec)
Jott 2.5 - 1500 (3.?sec)
Jott 3 - 2000 (5sec)

GREASED
Jott 1 (On Cursor) - ???
Jott 2 - 200
Jott 3 - 400
Jott 4 - 650 (3sec)
Jott 5 - 850 (4sec)
Jott 5.5 - 1000


These numbers mid game can be an aproxximate. Because it changes as a ship moves back and forth while the projectile is on midair.

Ofcourse it will always change, but it helps you gauge where with the aim of the gun to... aim. You check with rangefinder quickly. Jump on gun, aim accordingly and fire. Youl see that you will be hitting more often. The thing is. On a certain patch, the squares on the map screen when pulling it up representes 1000m meaning you can now gauge the distance of the ship pending on the map screen alone. So rangefinder is no longer needed.

Using the range finder to determine distance will only work provided neither ship is moving forward or backwards, otherwise the needed elevation will constantly change

Forget the rangefinder, use the gun and look if it hits. The rangefinder is, was and always will be bullshit.

The distance is measured in meters as it is in the game with the rangefinder, you dont have to call it anything, just the measure ment the rangefinder gives you.

i'm going to assume the distance is measured in meters

By now I figured it out by feeling, but these are always helpful, thanks
