More lob systems (using a fixed angle)
These measurements assume no wind -
Fixed angle Half screen power Full screen power 70 1.8 2.8 50 1.5 bars 2.1 bars 35 1.5 bars 2.2 bars Credit to talent on the Lord forums for sharing these.
Also remember dselb's windchart for angle 70: Boomer Set 70
First guess the power you want to use in 0 wind. Then you multiply the wind strength by the wind factor on dselb's chart to get a very small number, then reduce your power by that small number.If you have trouble controlling power with my the systems listed so far, there's another lob system for close range shooting (up to 3/4 screen distance) that uses exactly 2.0 bars of power, which is very easy to measure.
1/4 SD Angle 81 (2.0 bars) 1/2 SD Angle 72 (2.0 bars) 3/4 SD Angle 62 (2.0 bars) Lastly, I have an alternate lob system that can be used 1 screen and a bit further: Boomer can use the banpao system (sometimes called 3 bar formula because your power level will be close to 3 bars) to aim faraway shots. It's best suited to 0 or low wind, like a normal lob. There isn't much use for it because boomer has well-documented high angle tricks using full power, and there isn't really any advantage to using around 3 bars instead of 4. I guess you could say this is for showing off. Anyway, if you want to try it: Power varies depending on how far the enemy is.
1/2 SD Angle 80 (2.5 bars) 1.0 SD Angle 70 (2.7 bars) 1.5 SD Angle 60 (2.8 bars) In between you must estimate for yourself. Remember it's 10 angles to half a screen, therefore it's 5 angles for 1/4th of a screen. 5 angles using this formula is about the same distance as 7 angles using the 1 screen lob formula (2.25 bars). Power should also be adjusted.. for example between 1/2 and 1.0 screen distances, 2.6 bars may be best.
Also check out this Power Substitution Formula for the banpao shooting method. It will allow you to use the formula in 90 degree upward winds.
