It takes into account temperature, humidity and air pressure but not the most important factor in long range shooting, the wind. The wind is often not the same intnesity or even direction between shooter and target. It is not unusual to see wind flags blowing in opposite directions even on a 300 m range. Wind can be measured near the gun but not over the entire distance to the target.
Eh, it *can*, but only if you happen to have enough particulates in the air between you and your target for radar to track.
Ha! I see it all the time at 100 yards! It's not unusual to see two wind flags 10 feet apart blowing in opposite directions. One range I shoot seems to have a dividing line down the middle. All flags on the left half of the range will blow in one direction and all flags on the right half will blow in the other direction.
You didn’t read the article. It clearly states that it does account for the wind.
Mirage can raise havoc at those ranges too.
