Porajkl Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I was thinking that Elite units (tanks, guns) should have higher probability for causing weak spot penetrations. Since we all know that such crews (ie. Wittman) aimed -and scored- for those weak spots, I guess it should be in a game also. Of course, that bonus would apply only to short distances (say to 500 metres). At longer distances (>1000m) they should have the same probability like other crews. I think that would be quite realistic, don't you? I guess it's too late for v1.02, but should be in next generations of CMxx. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem that occurs to me is how to quantify 'better' ability to hit weak spots. If it's a Tiger you add 7%, Stug 6%? How do you calculate it. In a game based as much as it is on accurate information something like this would be pure guesswork - at least in terms of how much more likely an elite crew is to target a 'weak spot'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I don't think it would be such a big problem to design, actually. Armor penetration already varies from shot to shot, by +/- 10% or so. Just skew that "roll" slightly (say, up one std deviation for "elite", less for "crack", little for "vet") for high crew quality, and you'd get the effect. Repeated hits by the best shooters would penetrate marginally better than can be expected from typical single hits. But still within the range of what *can* happen to shooters who just "get lucky" in the current model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tacticus Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I seem to recall BTS saying that this feature was in CMBO for a while - they took it out, because it started to give ridiculus results far too often... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
