Advanced Ballistic Fire Control Simulator / Zaawansowany Symulator Balistyczny

🇬🇧 A ballistic fire control simulator featuring NASA SRTM terrain masking (real elevation data, horizon scan algorithm), asymmetric blast zones blocked by real mountains, nuclear blast zones, radioactive fallout, cluster munitions, Coriolis effect and hybrid ballistic model. Built as microservices: Python/Flask + C#/.NET + Redis Streams.

🇵🇱 Symulator balistyczny z maskowaniem terenowym NASA SRTM (rzeczywiste dane wysokościowe, algorytm horizon scan), asymetrycznymi strefami rażenia blokowanymi przez prawdziwe góry, strefami jądrowymi, opadem radioaktywnym, głowicami kasetowymi, efektem Coriolisa i hybrydowym modelem balistycznym. Architektura mikrousług: Python/Flask + C#/.NET + Redis Streams.
