  in 3D only need 2 or 3 angles?i make missiles, and use deltayaw & deltapitch..is the same concept, no?

 It is the same concept as deltayaw.  I only wrote it cos someone asked me to but it's useful if your doing a 2d in 3d game using just the x + y axis instead of x + z axis.  I use it myself for this purpose.
