← HistoryWhich consequence results when Roman siege engines misjudged trajectory during counter-battery fire using Ballistae?
A)Compromised structural integrity defenses✓
B)Accidental friendly fire casualties
C)Insufficient rotational kinetic energy
D)Induced siege tower conflagration
💡 Explanation
The `projectile trajectory error margin` compromises previously established structural integrity rather than ignition, because each adjustment impacts different areas differently. Therefore, fortress structural integrity is affected, rather than kinetic energy of projectiles.
