Vikhr full loadout

[McVittees]

Nope, at least not as well as they could be - but them's the breaks. Hopefuly ED will be able to come up with a better weapons damage/effects model in that respect in the future.

 

In all seriousness, this is really what lets rockets down at the moment - the blast radius seems a bit underwhelming (although I don't actually have any knowledge to base this impression on). I'm sure they'll sort it out.

 

Right, time for my 5m duel...:gun_smilie:

What's funny is that a rocket run at max range at high speed is more likely to get me shot down than a steady cannon hover attack.

While we're on the rockets subject, is shrapnel, blast radius and shock waves accounted for? I think I remember being told that they aren't, that would explain the rockets lack of "bite" even against softer targets.

 

Actually the rockets do have quite a bite---IF you get a hit.

 

I ran a test mission with m1a2 abrahms, and loadout of the small rockets.

 

I was able to destroy the abrahms over and over, to my surprise. I used only short bursts. Two real hits seems to do it. Getting those hits, is another matter hehe.

Um, you seem to have missed the point. He asked "is the non-direct-hit area effect modeled?" And you responded with, "Yes, if you get a direct hit!"

 

Facepalm all around.

point taken. I was just surprised the S-8 would take out an abrahms at all.

It shouldn't in general unless it's a rear engine grill hit, if I recall my weapons sizing parameter thingamabobs correctly.

 

However, that's all a mission for the new and improved armor modeling, if/whenever it comes :)

Fair enough. Wasn't there a bug/goof where we got the concrete penetration S-8 rockets instead of the HE/GP rockets?

[CE_Mikemonster]

Good shot, I don't think i've ever 'Blown up' an Abrams or a Leopard with 2x Vikhirs yet!

 

Thanks for all the rocket aiming tips! My ears are open :)!

[S77th-RYKE]

talking about rockets , is there a way to shoot fast ?

 

I have to hold the trigger for like 3 seconds before the shot gets off

 

is there a way to press the trigger and get a more instantaneous response ?

[GGTharos]

Nope, the 0.5-1 sec lag is exactly as it should be.
