He was asking about info - ricochet of bullets and shells under a great angle of hit to water surface. With the small angle it is all clear, however with angles of 30 to 60 degree is also possible ricochet - it is very well visible on some videos of WWII time.
We simply need the explanation of physics of such ricochets, because it is not clear by using normal formulas.
We did it, but need more info, say some sources with formulas when it is and for which shells (size, diameter, mass, form of the bullet/shell, speed at hit, etc)
All such things with ricochets from the water surface under great angles of hits are out of simple understanding using common physics... there are acpects that need to be using for more precise modeling and understanding. Because some may say that it is impossible (like I said when I saw the modeling of effect by my guys), but we may see it very well on WWII videos....
In common words the ricochets of hard surface are not the same as for luguid surface and depending of too many factors that we need to model approximatelly that to do not overload real time calculations. I would say that ricoshets of water surface is totally different to hard surface and angles of hits
