General Liederkranz Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I thought it was well-established that individual artillery fragments aren't tracked, but that damage is probability-based, with distance playing a major role. The model may still be plenty sophisticated in the number of factors that modify a soldier's chance of being hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually all the beta testers and even Steve are just bot programs run by Charles. I would question my existence but Charles disabled that feature..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the need for snark but in any case, is Steve a good enough source for you? "There is no way that a home computer could simulate every last shard coming out of an explosion and then tracking where it goes. It's not only a ridiculously taxing thing to ask of a computer, but also (as you say) totally unnecessary." "Probability, of course, has a big say in the matter. The further out a soldier is, regardless of other factors, the less probability there is of being hit. Blocked LOS/LOF, the type of blockage, stance, etc. further reduce the probability of becoming a casualty." There is a lot of great info in his comments on this thread: Edited May 24, 2019 by General Liederkranz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
