[Pelador]

Your projectile definitions contains:

<flyOverhead>true</flyOverhead>

I think this needs to be false, as this normally is assigned as true for indirect fire weapons that need to pass over obstacles e.g mortar shells.

[Kirby23590]

Probably what Pelador said...

You should set <flyOverhead>true</flyOverhead> to false.

Otherwise they will miss all the time since the flyOverhead thing is mostly reserved for mortars or other indirect ranged weapons.

You guys are awesome that was exactly what it was.
