EvilBivol-1 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 The ricochet effects have been a perpetual debate since they were first implemented for DCS Black Shark. The devs feel that the modeling is correct or at least correct enough. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
Esac_mirmidon Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) I´ve never see a bullet from a minigun bound over water. But it´s something i can easily live with in DCS. Thanks for your reply.

Home Fries Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Noticed the same thing. Some ricochet is expected (especially at a shallow angle of impact), but seeing that many tracers ricochet just means that you have that many more lead rounds doing the same thing. I would personally tone it down by a factor of 3 or 4. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
sleat Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Firing the Minigun from the Huey over water makes bullets ricochet instead getting sinked below the surface. Minigun bullets are simply 7.62 x 51 NATO standard. i.e. they behave similarly to .308 rifle bullets. They certainly will bounce off water IRL if the angle of obliquity is less than about 30-45 degrees. Unless you are savagely depressing the flex guns, i.e. firing in stow mode, you're not likely to be shooting into the surface of water (which must be horizontal) at such angles. At 2800 feet per second, water appears to be pretty hard to a humble 7.62 bullet.
