He popped off three shots before the tank shot back, with predictable results. Why the TacAI thinks a pistol is a good weapon of choice against a Panther tank I don't know. Either it's a stupid bug or a very clever feature where panicked troops will sometimes do nonsensical things. And I honestly don't know which version it is. But pistols are not that bad actually. In the same game, I later assaulted and took out an AT gun position with a tank crew in a forest; three guys with lugers pack a lot of firepower at point blank range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I once had a Puma crew taking out a complete squad from, say, 7m distance. The 9 bullets per pistol don't last long, but can put out tremendous firepower for a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9 bullets per pistol don't last long, but can put out tremendous firepower for a minute. Also, I think it's because they quickly pop off nine separate aimed shots. In contrast, when firing an SMG in this game, it sends out a stream of bullets, but it only seems to aim once. So if the aim is off, all the bullets are wasted. If the aim is on target, all the bullets are wasted apart from the first one. As an example of this, after those three pistol guys had proven their worth, I sent them to buddy-aid some MP40s, thinking if they could do so much with handguns, they'd be terrifying with submachineguns. But later in that game one of the survivors came up against a rifle enemy in the forest at 10m range. The SMG guy emptied his weapon and stopped to reload not once but a full three times, while his enemy fired off rifle shot after rifle shot against him to no effect. That was pretty odd.

And they use what they have in hand so, in this case they guy had his rifle over his shoulder while running and his pistol in hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you are not suggesting that it is wrong to aim per burst of an SMG. Your pixel troops, like the real ones, want thier target to go down and stay down. Three, five, 25 bullets to the center of mass is not wasted. I thier minds that is. 10 minutes ago, Bulletpoint said: But later in that game one of the survivors came up against a rifle enemy in the forest at 10m range.

Yeah, need a recording of that for the record because that's an awesome outlier! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pump out 9 bullets in 60 sec's, there is not much aiming. More like pointing the muzzle in the right direction and pulling the trigger, as fast as you can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Well, that's almost 7 seconds per shot. A trained person can accurately shoot in far less than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally never managed. But, indeed, I remember that my army trainers were not all that happy with my rate of fire. I sort of "grew up" in sport shooting clubs, shooting air gun and small bore rifle, where you have 90 minutes for 60 shot. Precision was the key, not speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have clarified that I was playing the Germans. I had not unbuttoned the tank at any point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying the opposite actually. SMGs would be more useful at close ranges in this game if the shooter fired more, faster, and shorter bursts so that the game code would allow re-aiming in between each burst. Because the more re-aiming cycles you get, the better chances of hitting anything. SMGs can't "walk the fire" unto the target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, Now...PointofBullet, don't give BF any ideas as I already think SMG's are over modeled, and need of toning down abit (especially at range).

Try it with a NERF gun in front of the mirror and substract the recoil second. ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool breeze Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) My introduction to shooting was with the Pink Pistols, a local gay shooting/self-defence club. And the leader of the group rents the indoor municipal shooting range so the group can practice combat shooting techniques and rapid (semi auto) fire. So I didn't start with the minutes per round expectation you did. For me, when I count out 7 seconds in my head it seems like a long time. Edited April 28, 2017 by cool breeze I live in CA, aka the Wild West moved forward in time, so this is kinda home of fast shooting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, as far as I know I've never managed to give BF any ideas I'd suggest toning down the SMGs a bit at long range, but tone them up at very close ranges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool breeze Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 ohh and by the way... not that there is anything wrong with being gay, i dont think there is, but just for the record, Im not. I just think its a cool club and I support gay self defense. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 There's nothing wrong about being a heavily armed gay person, cool breeze. When I lived in WeHo, I recall that "Grande Wizzard" was a local organizer for the annual gay parade down S&M Blvd... We're here to support you when you come out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool breeze Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Lol I have been on a long enough dry streak that sometimes it seems like it would be a bonus to be gay.
