lemoen Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Simple enough, when firing guns into the water the splashes are HUGE (5m+) and from what I've seen on youtube, this is not the case, even for big calibers like 30mm.
Nealius Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I think that depends on what's hitting what and at what angle. I've personally shot 7.62x54R into a mud puddle and had a spray at least 4m tall.

A normal .50 cal BMG round splashes water farther than 5 meters high and you do not think a 20mm HEI or larger bullet can? 1NKdAxN5jJI?start=315 I agree with Nealius, it depends Edited June 30, 2018 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
lemoen Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 I made a mistake. The water splashes from guns in DCS isn't exactly 5m+ high. Its 20m+ high, REGARDLESS of the calibre used. It always seems the same size and I think its the same as a bomb hitting right now. Now, even the Mig15's 37mm shouldn't have enough energy in the explosive to do this. The result is that when you do things like strafe gun boats, the splash from a single shell hitting will completely mask the entire boat and seems pretty ridiculous.

Quadg Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 ive stood on a beach and watched a10 shoot up canvas targets.. the canvas targets were vehicle sized. the sand gets kicked up very high. completely obscuring the targets. and these were cheap practise rounds. I was actually amazed how high each spurt was. so I have no problem with the A10 representation in the game. the beach was RAF Donna Nook.

msalama Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 @lemoen: And yet, there seems to be a difference in the splash of shells hitting the water, depending on their caliber. And it's just eyecandy anyway, so is it really that important, taken all the other IMO more important long-standing bugs we're still suffering from, into account? Just my humble opinion though, so yours may well differ ;) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
msalama Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Its 20m+ high, REGARDLESS of the calibre used. No it definitely is not. Or not at least in the latest openbeta, in which I just flew a mission and witnessed different-calibered rounds producing different-sized splashes hitting the water. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
vali_grad Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 stop shooting in the water then !!! =)))) Su34 & F111 a dream fullfilled in fsx...[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i5 5600, 1050ti, 16 GVram, win10 , TM W hotas&rudder, waiting for 1060/1070 price fall or a new gpu family..f*&9 miners :)
