Yep ORAC some sort of numerical adjustment for spin up/spin down is lodged in my memory somewhere, something along the line of you could end up with rounds going down the spout that weren’t actually regarded in the maths as being fired…but I can’t remember the exact details.
I certainly never hit the dizzy heights of having scores where it (if I’m remembering “it” correctly) was a critical factor.
We need a pet F-4 QWI to pass comment.
