I played a game in the last few days, in which, past a certain point, no matter how I adjusted my angle, the shell came down on the exact same spot. _________________ Thump...

I'm not questioning your demonstration, but this makes absolutely no sense. I played a game in the last few days, in which, past a certain point, no matter how I adjusted my angle, the shell came down on the exact same spot.
