Erwin Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Playing my first CMSF game (the xnt "A Helluva Road Opening") in years due to CMBN burn-out and have forgotten stuff. What is the largest cal gun/MG one can fire/use with no FF risk? eg: 50 cal/12mm ok, but 20mm not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_prince Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Seems to be 7.62-casualties from friendly HMGs are definitely possible (tested it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I will be very surprised if that small caliber did harm to friendlies. I was certain that we had extensive discussions on this board that "light weapons" may suppress friendlies, but never harm them. And since both Blue and Red use a lot of 7.62 or similar... However, I too have seen friendly casualties that could have resulted from firing 7.62 near them... I always thought maybe there was a hidden sniper someplace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_prince Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Sorry, my last post wasn't that clear. What I meant was that anything up to and including 7.62 doesn't appear to harm friendlies. However, 12.7 and up definitely will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Correct. There's a thread buried on here, somewhere, with tests. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 With ricochets being modeled (I think) it's hard sometime to know what caused some friendly casualties. Enemy sniper or ricochet of a friendly 50 cal round that was fired at a target a safe distance away from the casualty. Even firing what appears to be well over the heads of friendlies can cause casualties. Probably especially when area firing as the gun fires around a pretty good arc. Anyone know what are the parameters (ie deviation angle compared to aimed fire) of Area Fire? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
