Yuya6104 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 How come the PK-3 Gunpods are unable to kill Lightly Armored cars and Unarmored cars? And Thin skin tanks like arty and M113 APC's ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoffel Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The 50. cal weapons in DCS need a major change, they do way too little damage. War is easy and is just like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire and the ground is on fire and you are on fire and you realise you are in hell :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuya6104 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yeah the PK-3's 7.62 weapons do so little damage that needs a bigger change to there effectiveness against Lighty armor and Soft skinned targets as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fri13 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The change will likely come either with 2.5 or then when the next major upgrade comes to Combined Arms by adding overhauled damage modeling for ground vehicles (tires, tracks, turrets, engines, individual crew members). Or so I hope. Then it would be something to use any weapon against ground targets when you could damage them or detrack etc. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

And Thin skin tanks like arty and M113 APC's ?? If you are expecting to destroy lightly armored targets like (apcs and so on) you can forget it. 7.62 will do you no good here. 12.7 will even have problems. So no. It`s also nothing wrong with it taking quite a few bullets to hit destroy unarmored trucks as well, you need quite a few 7.62 bullets to "destroy" (whatever that implies, certainly not complete annihilation) such target. Seems nothing is wrongfully modelled to me. This is not a game but a simulator, as in real life, although nice in concept, such gunpods (of low calibre) just never proved useful on aircraft. As for damage modelling itself, that is something that might be improved (for ground vehicles as well as AI controlled units in future) but so far it is what it is.
