Summary	0018188: Smart gun homing, angling, and range
Description	The current implementation of the smart gun avoids corner-shot cheesing, but it feels like the player has low control over which target is chosen by the shots which in a lot of situations directs them to an enemy behind a wall. I would recommend balancing it in a way that allows the player to have more influence over the direction of the shot so they don't have to backpedal and instead angle the weapon in a particular way where it can curve to a desirable enemy; extend the initial launch distance before it strictly homes, and decrease its homing ability so that it can't go around corners easily.

Pepisolo Mar 2, 2016 1:26 am developer ~0045322	SMART gun hasn't seeded for a long time, but I recently overhauled it to be as good as new content, which I think fixes these issues. A couple of niggles need to be ironed out, but the new improved version should be in the game soon.
