I just checked, and actually no rocketeer isn't currently applied to RPGs, I'll need to do another server engine build to fix that

Does it make sense for the RPG to be very slow to reload, but that it *is* reloadable during an event?


I like. RPGs are in fact reloadable in real life, and are quickly becoming one of the most-used hand weapons in modern urban warfare.

Patch coming through!

I have put 110 RPGs on sale in the Player market (sold by my gang) in SS, BL, and GW. Please don't buy more than about 5 each, spread 'em around! ;-)
Out of curiosity, did someone just buy the whole stack anyway?  :rolleyes:

Just tried it by the way, 4 bulk for 3 damage per shot is to high, only getting 6 damage + pistol or 9 damage total out of 6 bulk wont work, either the damage needs to go up to 5 (bad idea) or bulk needs to go down to 3 and maybe 4 damage per shot (better idea)

What I think anyway.


(Vs bpu, good armor representation of what it's most likely to be up against when it matters)

Or you could make item transfers I guess, so you'd have RPG teams but the damage still woundt justify the extra bulk... well maybe, depends I guess

I tried to buy 5, it gave me one, and then they didn't show up any more.  Odd.

will RPGs start appearing in scavenger loot?

where are the scavenger chainsaws and swords?

the only thing wrong with the 12 clip current rifle is the sound effect (make it a three shot burst sound and we are all good)

to be fair to people who bought more than 5 lots of people don't read the forums (I have found some people who don't know they exist!)

I've noticed that looted RPG's show as 166%, Is this to ensure survival of damage from it's owner being killed, so it appears at loot?

Rifles Don't have a burst mode, your thinking of a Assault Rifle which, along with normal rifles are more accurate at range then a Bolt Action rifle. A bolt action rifle with a 22" barrel is accurate and deadly for over 6 miles. During WWI there were plentry of men with high kill rates who took their targets out many miles away with bolt action rifles. Twice decorated medal of honor, Smedley Butler comes to mind.

6 Miles !?! with .22 ? Not even close.....

a .22 is *MAYBE* (good luck on that) good up to a mile... that's with no wind, no humidity, clear LOS, and many other factors.

*note* a 22LR shell has a distance of only 1.075 miles with a 28 degree angle from horizontal.

In there were *NO* men in World War I nor II that " took out their targets from many miles away with bolt action rifles"

The longest sniper shot ever was 1.538 miles with a .338 Lapua Magnum.

Prior to that a M2 .50 Caliber Browning was used to make a 1.421 mile kill (a record that held up for over 30 years)

He's speaking of barrel length, not caliber.

:o

Um, no.

I apologize, it's 600 meters not 6 miles. Theres a whole TV series you can watch called riflemen. As far as I can tell every episode is on youtube, and I believe, also linked at history channel website.

yes, when i said 22" I meant twenty-two inches, however, I believe that necro was refering to .223 rounds which is a 22 long shell, what common hunting rifles in the USA use.

I've pointed out the 600 meter issue because in darkwind we cant even target a car over 200 meters away with a rifle. We get sniper spec but range is still the same.



The verb "to snipe" originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India where a hunter skilled enough to kill the elusive snipe was dubbed a "sniper"

Trust me on this...don't believe everything you see on the History Channel.
I've had some serious facepalm moments while watching shows on there.

How about discovery? I practically grew up watching their shows about WWII...

(What, those maps and icons were pretty, lol  :rolleyes:)



And lets not get into the range, you want to know the real range of light/heavy mortars?  :rolleyes:

TLC Discover and HISTory channel are all the same company I believe, their policy is they will air anything you pay them to, they dont require factuality. Do you think they would have shown the Hollywood take on "9/11", Mythbusters, or Woody Harelsons documentary "grass", otherwise?

But that doesnt mean that EVERYTHING they show is bad
