Weapon suggestion : machine gun

<< < (2/2)

Voller:
I assume it is _being_ implemented, so they're not done yet.

blondandy:
i think that they always aim for a point about 1m above the actors feet. then the hit calc adds guassian noise to the angle in two orthogonal directions.

this is one reason why crouching is so effective for reducing the probability of being hit. the point now being aimed at is about the head. so the fire often goes over the head. the chance of hitting is almost halved for long range shots (more distance for angular spread to take the rounds too high to hit).

my point is that implementing a third (prone) posture would need a load of work, as the current aiming system would make them even less likely to be hit than they should be.

having a prone posture would be very cool though. i am sure it would be loads of work (for coders and 3D artists).

I am bound to curse a lot as i forget to make them stand up, and they use 40TUs crawling on their belly for about 5 metres...    :x

surrealistk: do you mean a prone posture or a machine gun or both are being implemented?

Surrealistik:
The machine gun is being implimented. The prone position is unlikely to make it in during the foreseeable future due to the work that would be involved in realizing it.

breversa:
Ah, good news ! :D

I'll finally be able to field  a "real" standard infantry squad... and see how they behave against the aliens ! :P
