Ranger33 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 There is a very small window where the "wild" shots happen and match up visually. All I know is that it can happen, BFC would have to come in to explain it in detail. These shots are definitely more off target than your average missed shot, but the visual isn't 1:1 as far as I can tell. I'm not really that worried about it, but if someone really wanted to study it, they would have to capture a few examples in WeGo replays, but I don't have that kind of free time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Well, ironically, I doubt whether many people really object to wild shots happening during braking and acceleration. That seems realistic. This thread was about how unrealistic braking and accelerating appear, visually (as opposed to their effect on ballistics).

dieseltaylor Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 ......... too wildly inaccurate because the rocking animation is (believed to be) too exaggerated. There's two things that need to be to shown here: 1) the rocking animation is highly exaggerated, and 2) that exaggeration contributes to wild inaccuracy .............. I think assertion 1) has been proven by reference to the numerous videos showing minimal rocking when firing for tanks apart from the Shermans when over-gunned with HV weapons. And even in that case it is less than game. And by the same video sources that rocking when halting is also exaggerated. Whilst checking movement and dipping, and firing Badgers Dog remark on HV and firing made me look at the respective rates of fire of the Shermans and both 75mm and the HV guns are firing at the same rate of approximately 6 rounds per minute. As I understand it the HV armed tanks because of room and relaying the gun fired at roughly half the rate of the 75mm armed Shermans. Now I was using HE in the test at 400 metres and have no idea if there is a special logarithm for AP and or rate of fire/range of fire but my gut instinct is not. In CMx1 this had the effect of making HV armed Sherman far more potent than in reality. This was aggravated by the tactical AI being stupid and shooting closer vanilla 75mm Shermans rather than the dangerous HV gun armed tanks. **PS. As someone posted here part of the "cure" might be not to view the action from anything other than a longer range. There is a strong element of truth to that but then when so much has gone into the graphical side so you can enjoy it close too it seems weird not to look closely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Actually, I think this is why for me this has become less of an issue than it used to be: most of the time I am looking from long range anyhow. What there is to be seen at close range is eye-candy. The actual results of turns are seen at the longer ranges... GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sorry, help me out here. It was claimed that the Tiger, during a test, could not spot a target because the pixel commander was seated the wrong way but, now we are being told, the gun of that tank fires a projectile which does not correspond to where the barrel is pointing, at the time of firing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vark Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Childress, shoot the damn cat! Just really confused about the fidelity of the model CM uses, none the wiser really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just couldn't do it. Those innocent grey eyes.... Rock on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Tut tut, never threaten any action that you are not prepared to carry out. As for innocent, I've seen Shrek's Puss...in bhoots, I'm not fooled by the cute kitty act! On a more serious note, just how abstract is the CM2 design? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
