Weapons

[dolphineye]

Very interesting study, Staatzvaind.
I hope Térence and/or Soulimano will read this and tweak the m249 a bit.

Speaking of which, do you have any clue regarding the RPK74's recoil/spread and penetration?

[Staazvaind]

as a matter of fact the caliber counts and the recoil system (gas or not).

[Staazvaind]

so, did another test on the server and realised something more annoying:

short bursts

the recoil due to short bursts is so high that the character aims into the
sky afte some 1-2 bullets burst.

thats way too much.

it makes the weapon almost useless.

sry to say that.

[dolphineye]

The weapons recoil/spread have not been tweaked yet. We definitely need to make a small test session to tweak them all.

ok, here a video showing the fun a mg3 can make (bc2):


shooting behavior has been balanced really good in bc2 !

At first: Hi, I am new to this forum and mod and quiet excited about it. I played a bit on a local server to test the weapons and maps a bit. 

As with your comparison of the MG3 in BC2. Please don't make the LGM's and the heavier MG's like the MG3 not as ridiciolous as in BC2. I hate this nonesense like jumping from a roof and spraiing all enemies from above. This is just Rambo style and isn't usefull for teamplay.

I like thes system as it is now, though the M249 is a bit too inaccurate in deployed mode and when prone.

All other weapons feel quiet good and not too accurate - that's how I like it.

On a final note: the noise level of the different weapons should be tweaked. Some guns are damn loud and some other too quiet. Would be good to have them on the same level.

Otherwise the mod is very good and on a good level. Please keep up the good work.

Yep we agree with the weapon sound but for the moment , we have many work to do first, but it's something we'll have to do.

Tahnks for your comment.

In general, I like how the guns works. It gives me a realistic impression.
It would be nice everyone to be able to hold breathing for a few seconds, like in ArmA.

Totally agree and have always thought more games should acknowledge this, as you say, only ArmA is closest so far as I know. Sway should be present on all weapons (function of weight and length), controlled breathing should help reduce sway for all weapons, magnifying optic will increase effect of sway according to power. It is not a special case for snipers just more obviously noticeable because of the high power optic used.

[dolphineye]

Sway IS currently present on all weapons (more on sniper rifles, but also on regular rifles and pistols).

To hold your breath, you have to use the SPRINT key (which is an HOLD BREATH key when in ironsight/scope mode).

[defunkt]

Ah yes, I see (I just checked it), excellent, that makes Casus Belli a leader in weapon handling but I feel there should be more sway (I hadn't really noticed it) as at present there is little need to control breathing. Maybe another hardcore option?

I have NEVER seen anyone playing support. ever..   

[5hitm4k3r]

Played some rounds as support today. You have to play very passive. Had a 3X killstreak on the dam intel map in the first seconds. But otherwise I only recomend it for AAS maps when playing as defender. But you can aslo give some support and suppress the enemy if you are attacking.

[Landsheer]

Support rocks, but you gotta lay down for it to use the bipod. without it its hard to hit anything at all. but once you on the floor and set up, you kill everything that is coming at you. Also can give ammo to other members and got a nice deagle as secondary weapon.
