Distance scaling and game-like score branches

Read the explanation

The tactical planner is a fictional game-like model, not an operational flight or combat predictor. Its initial waypoint is three hundred, one hundred ninety; the target is four hundred twenty, one hundred twenty in SVG coordinates. The horizontal difference is one hundred twenty and the vertical difference is negative seventy. Pythagorean distance is about one hundred thirty eight point nine two SVG units. Multiplying by point three five and rounding gives forty nine displayed nautical miles. The range never falls below five. The two bars illustrate the two coordinate magnitudes on a shared two-pixel scale, two hundred forty and one hundred forty pixels. The displayed unit conversion is an application assumption, not map calibration. A special baseline branch overrides the dynamic formulas when altitude is fifteen thousand, speed five hundred forty, waypoint coordinates remain three hundred and one hundred ninety, and payload text contains H P A A. It assigns ninety four point eight percent and forty two point five minutes. Outside that branch, fuel divides forty five, plus an optional twenty for payload text containing Fuel, by speed divided by five hundred. Above twenty five thousand feet it applies a fifteen percent multiplier, then clamps twelve to ninety five. At speed five hundred, illustrative no-tank and tank results are forty five and sixty five minutes. At four pixels per minute the bars reach one hundred eighty and two hundred sixty. These model outputs do not certify an aircraft capability. The dynamic intercept score weights an altitude factor by point four five, a distance factor by point three five, and a speed factor by point one five, then adds a payload bonus. The distance factor is floored at point two, and speed is capped at one point one. The final percentage is clamped between thirty four and ninety nine point two. The two bars at four pixels per percentage point depict only these clamp bounds, one hundred thirty six and three hundred ninety six point eight pixels. A score called probability is not an empirically calibrated chance of success. Threat labels use distance thresholds above eighty and above thirty five, independent of the score. Export preserves model state for inspection, not validated telemetry.
