Size doesn't matter?

IIRC slash beams will always be just as inaccurate no matter how large or how close the target is. Monitor 00:52, 18 October 2008 (CDT)

I think you're right; the only real variables that determined how long a slash beam was on/off target was which axis it chose to slash along and how much target was actually on that path.

Apparent target size from the perspective of the target matters, it takes a lot fewer degrees of traverse to run off the end of something at 4km then it does at 500 meters. Size does matter, but distance matters more. Ngtm1r 11:46, 2 November 2008 (CST)
