[Question] Shooting prediction on moving targets

Your basically looking at leading the target.

Taking the velocity of the shot you can calculate the time it will take to reach the targets current position.
Time = (Distance between You and Target) / Bullet Speed

Use the result multiplied by the Speed of the target you can get an intercept distance.
Intercept Distance = Time * Target Speed

Targets forward vector * Intercept distance will give you the lead padding.
Prediction Location = Target Location + Padding
