Modeling of squad weapons


Recommended Posts

Much of the talk has focused around how the pretty vehicles are modeled. There has also been discussion of the larger squad weapons like bazookas and MGs. What I haven't seen is how the more basic rifles and SMGs are modeled.

From what I gather from the AARs, squad weapons have some kind of firepower rating based on range. For instance, an M1 Rifle is listed as: 40m-14.0 100m-7.0 250m-3.0 500m-1.0. I assume this number is modified by a bunch of situation specific things. How is this number used in the game? Does the game keep track of how much firepower is being directed at a spot per unit time?

The other question about modeling of squad weapons is which ones are actually in the game. Here is my guess as to which weapons are already included:

German-

Gewehr 98

Gewehr 43

Fallschirmjagergewehr 42

Sturmgewehr 44

Pistol (generic)

MG 34

MG 42

MP 40

American-

Springfield 1903

M1 Garand

M1 & M1A1 carbine

Pistol (generic)

BAR

M1919A4 MG

M1919A6 MG

Browning M2 HMG

M3 SMG

Thompson M1 SMG

British-

Lee-Enfield No.4

Pistol (generic)

Vickers MG

Bren LMG

Sten SMG

If someone in the know would correct my list, I would appreciate it.

Concentration of firepower counts too..
