Yes. With the Hunt: Showdown 1896 CryEngine 5.11 upgrade, bullet drop mechanics were introduced based on weapon ammo caliber and barrel length. Within typical compound ranges (0-80m), bullets fly virtually straight, but past 100m, elevation compensation and lead are both required.
A sprinting hunter moves at approximately 4.5 m/s. With Long Ammo (600 m/s) at 100 meters, bullet travel time is ~166ms, meaning you must lead the hunter by ~0.75 meters (approx. 1.5 head widths ahead in their sprint vector).
