Right now there is no way that a submodel knows where the ground beneath it is. There is no underlying dynamic model - just some simple mathematical equations which try to model the flight path given some initial conditions, and some values for the physical attributes of the submodel and the environment. There are some limitations: no attempt is made to model the windage on a bomb or bullet, and transonic drag is arbitrarily modelled for a conventional tailed round (no boat-tail etc.). Perhaps one for the future.
