So when you fire a arrow from a bow, does go straight or arc? This is game but shooting a bow at close range never have arc. Over distance every falls down or have arc, meaning long distance. Even Skyrim firing a bow at close range does not have arc. Does have arc at a long distance but not short. For Skyrim I usually dead on for hitting my targets unless very long range. Telling me if you are higher than your target you have to aim for there feet in order to hit them.
So when a baseball pitch throws a fast ball, it does not drop off and land on the ground in front of the player from distance after aim for the catchers glove.
