newlife Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I'm wondering just how much this will effect things. Will it just effect AFVs, are everybody. How about Artillery. Isn't artillery supposed to corect for wind? Will fire spread? Will there be wind gusts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlife Posted December 19, 2001 Author Share Posted December 19, 2001 So, anyone else have more constructive guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 It will make a "whooshing" sound, very similar to a jet engine, only much less localized. (Sorry, I gave up sleep a few weeks ago, and it's starting to show.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Apparently spreading fire is being coded into the game. I'm guessing that wind direction will influence the direction of the spread. As for targetting... it might affect low velocity rounds, but I'm not sure if that will be completely modelled mathematically. It may just be a case of lower-quality crews of low velocity weapons missing on the first (and subsequent) shot(s) more often when winds are present. Apparently (according to some answers by Madmatt in SuperTed's 'heads up' thread) wind will affect the movement of smoke (not smokescreens though), but it probably won't get visually modelled. I don't think that there will be 'gusts'. The wind will be of a constant velocity and direction during a scenario/op-battle (I don't know if there will different wind settings for each battle of an op). This will especially have to be true if it is going to mathematically affect the flight/accuracy of low velocity rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Wind will help fires to spread and will decrease the time smoke shells persist. Wind makes smoke disappear faster, and affects the "thickness" (LOS-blocking ability) of smoke as well. The big pillars of smoke (from fires) will "bend" in the direction the wind is blowing depending on the strength of the wind. Trees also sway the same way. Sudden gusts are not modeled. Wind will also affect ballistics but I dont as yet have details to what degree. !!!NONE OF THESE TEXTURES ARE FINAL!!! In fact Dan just told me he has all new skies (and there are some cool changes with skies too in store for you!) but I dont have them loaded yet Madmatt [ 12-19-2001: Message edited by: Madmatt ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Matt ........ would you be hinting at CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE SKY according to wind direction and speed??? Now that would really knock us for six!
