Ummmmmm. Can't say for sure but judging by the details sheet for this bot, i think your gun might be broken. You have big negative PBI's against everything with the musashi trick, which suggests to me that you're probably firing head-on most, if not all of the time. Just to let you know.... --Brainfade

It uses Musketeer's gun, with GF part taken from Archer. My GF gun is highly segmented, so if there isn't enough data in a segment, it fires head-on. This explains why it fires head-on. But with higher segmentation it performs better that with lower... I don't know why. But you are right - my GF gun, after adding more segments is more vulnerable to musashi trick. Thanks for your observation, I hope I will be able to fix this issue while not degrading performance against non-musashi-trick bots. -- Ph
