  5. In long range Artillery you have to correct for BOTH the curvature of the Earth AND the rotation of the Earth. Here are some links to the US Navy Ordinance and Gunnery fire control Volume two. The first link is a manually computed fire control solution for a 5 inch 38 caliber gun shooting at a target 10,100 yards away. If you will notice under the Trunnion and Curvature section the correction for the curvature of the Earth is entered at 21.5 feet. http://www.eugeneleeslover.com/USNAVY/CHAPTER-17-D.html In this link is a range table for a US Navy 8 inch 55 caliber gun. If you look at pages 449-452 they list the corrections made for the rotation of the Earth AKA the Coriolis Effect. Notice how those values change depending on your latitude. http://www.eugeneleeslover.com/USNAVY/FC-APPENDIX-B-8IN-55.html My experiences as a gunners mate on board the USS Iowa BB61 proves the Earth is round and rotates. In the late 80's we still used the MK-8 Rangekeeper analog fire control computer that was used to control the guns in WW2. While a amazing piece of analog technology it did not have the ability to correct for the Earth's curvature or Rotation in real time. Those corrections had to be entered manually into the computer. We had to do this EVERY time we fired the guns. If we did not our accuracy would be WAY off the mark. Unless someone can provide a reasonable explanation on why we would correct for curvature AND rotation of the Earth with EVERY shot if these things did not exist. I will take my $100,000 in small bills please.
