3 seconds shooting in a direction of 85 degrees at 45 deg North Latitude? Just shoot. Wind has a bigger impact.

Exactly.
Also the basis that the space launches are cheaper the closer to the equator. And, the reason the shuttle does that "roll" early in the launch and angles out to space instead of "straight" up.
Not only would you have to know where you are in relation to the equator but the angle to target line in relation to the earth’s rotation, elevation of tgt and shooter etc.
If this were true we would/should have been calculating the gravitational effects of the moon long ago.......
I’m with Pete on this one.
