Weapon skills?

NefariousCoal Mullet Madness Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 16 Joined: Jul 27, 2007 I've noticed that many of the weapon's info says they use Gunnery. Even rockets and such. Is this true or does the descriptions just need an update? ......................... vet Posted Jul 31, 2007, 9:13 pm

Large guns skill is for high recoil weapons. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 31, 2007, 9:19 pm

I've noticed that many of the Rockets's info( in instructions) says they have 'excellant' accuracy at long range. I am begining to doubt this.

I am begining to doubt this. When it says 'excellent', it means the accuracy degrades only slowly over distance. But it starts from a position of only being reasonably accurate in the first place. So an MG for example has good accuracy at short range (due to its spray effect), but the accuracy degrades faster. I'm always willing to tweak weapons, as you know, but evidence needs to be carefully gathered and discussed first - there's a lot of factors involved so you can't draw conclusions from a small number of battles. I often see comments about weapons which make good sense, but I also often see comments about weapons that I know can't be true, due to my deeper knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes..  ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 1, 2007, 10:16 am Last edited Aug 1, 2007, 10:18 am by *sam*

It's the description that I am querying , Vikk. # Do you personally think that an RL is an excellent long range weapon ? COCO ......................... vet wv Posted Aug 1, 2007, 11:48 am

No, not at the moment. I thought they were sufficiently different. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 1, 2007, 12:33 pm

No, not at the moment. I thought they were sufficiently different. Yeah they're quite different I guess, but in terms of gameplay there's only 2 weapons you can use with ballistics which makes it a difficult choice to train members in it compared to the other weapon skills. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Aug 1, 2007, 5:37 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 That's true, but the ballistics skill will also be used for stand-alone pieces of field artillery, when we have them. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 2, 2007, 3:31 pm
