Upcoming Release Balance Discussion (SVN)

[Felix-The-Ghost]

The distribution is square not circular
The bullets group due to use of integer arithmetic instead of floating-point arithmetic
There's as much chance a bullet will spread far at the side as it will spread only slightly

That sounds like the way it should be (assuming they are distributed from the center in a circular pattern)

Devs would be wise to consider your patches

My only idea is to severely reduce spread or remove it entirely and replace it with random horizontal recoil.
