I thought I was clear.	Fire control is the ability to predict and
target. 
 Gravity and other effects are what we see on planets.

     Disagree here, the range is limited by to ability of the
target to detect and correctly plot the locations of the projectile.
Also by the ability of the target to alter its direction after
the projectile course has been determined. (Reaction time)  JTL
