Since 0.0018576483 doesn't tell me much, I advance that the angular velocity column of the overview should be made adaptive to the weapons installed in relation to the targets.

A value greater than 1.0 indicate the weapon will be able to track target,
A value lesser than 1.0 indicate the weapon is unable to track target effectively.

It knows what you think.

Just show info on your guns. If the tracking number in there is greater than the number on the overview, you're fine. It's not that complicated. There's no need to dumb it down even more.

@mxzf: as a programmer you should know best that improving UI usability is not the same thing as dumbing down. In fact, if done right it's actually opposite.

@Sphit: that said, mxzf was right that you just should know tracking of your guns and normalizing everything to what you actually use is not the way to go. Yet if you're interested, search this subforum further to find and contribute to two threads from couple weeks ago. In one there was proposal to state tracking in miliradians and the other was about giving visual clues whether targets are within range and tracking of guns.
