WelshZeCorgi Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I would like to suggest better, more realistic DM for things like tanks, APCs and trucks. Well... at least tanks if nothing else. As it is right now, the DM for ground forces are a bit binary. They are either alive, or dead and in DCSW there is no such thing as a mobility kill (tracks/suspension/engine destroyed) or a mission kill (gun/optics destroyed). I believe a more realistic DM for at least tanks would greatly improve gameplay and immersion. Please voice your opinions in the poll above. Thanks. Edited September 29, 2015 by WelshZeCorgi
Empennage Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 +1 Totally agree. Even just a small portion of ground units receiving this DM upgrade will make things so much more enjoyable. 1
Avimimus Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Even a system with simply an additional probability check for damage (to simulate the uncertainty of internal damage) and three states (functional, disabled, destroyed) would be an immense improvement! 1
BSS_Sniper Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I have to agree with this. The DM for ground units is too basic and needs more. 1 I9 9900k @ 5ghz water cooled, 32gb ram, GTX 2080ti, 1tb M.2, 2tb hdd, 1000 watt psu TrackIR 5, TM Warthog Stick and Throttle, CH Pedals
Lilkiki Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 AFAIK, CM is only a "life bar" system except for Abhram MBT and few boats. Would be great one day to get mods like the Arma 3 "Real Armor" mod. I've also noticed that it is harder to kill MBT with GAU-8 while hitting them from the front (which is the most heavily armored in real life). I've never played to Steel Beast Pro but I know that that CM are very detailed (not surprising for a pro tank sim) 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
grunf Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I've never played to Steel Beast Pro but I know that that CM are very detailed (not surprising for a pro tank sim) I've never played it either, but I've played SABOW (tank sim by Graviteam Tactics) and GTOS (RTS from same devs), both have very realistic damage model based on projectile velocity, angle of impact and armor thickness. I'd like to see the same thing in DCS one day. 1
WelshZeCorgi Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 I would like to add that it would be nice to have visual graphics representing states of damage/destruction. Such as delinked tracks or broken drivewheels for mobility kills, visible damage on gun barrel or banana peeled barrels... Not a common occurrence I know
DarkFire Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I agree that it would be great to have more detailed calculation of armour penetration vs different weapons, but I'd be concerned about the additional CPU load, especially with lots of ground vehicles in a given mission. 1 System Spec: Cooler Master Cosmos C700P Black Edition case. | AMD 5950X CPU | MSI RTX-3090 GPU | 32GB HyperX Predator PC4000 RAM | | TM Warthog stick & throttle | TrackIR 5 | Samsung 980 Pro NVMe 4 SSD 1TB (boot) | Samsung 870 QVO SSD 4TB (games) | Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Personal wish list: DCS: Su-27SM & DCS: Avro Vulcan.

WelshZeCorgi Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) no :D the Giants :rotflmao: ED better factor in "rioting Giant's fans" in the new DM. Edited October 2, 2015 by WelshZeCorgi
