Rick Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I noticed that now when the 20mm guns fire a burst, several shells appear and fly down range. Are the effects of these shells modeled separately on the target now, or is it only a graphic thing? BTW, I would like to say that either way I think CMAK is pretty awesome. Now if only I could get you guys to write a database for a nature photographer, I'd be set. What I'm using now is just giving me fits. :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All guns in CM have one firepower value whenever they shoot, regardless of the number of rounds per burst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 A minor dissapointment, but I repeat minor. I thought that if this had changed we would've heard more about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 For anti-vehicle shots, each abstracted shot has a raised hit probablity. In CMBO it was the probablity additon of 4 seperate shots (without zeroing in during those 4), in CMBB ist is of 3 seperate shots. Don't have CMAK yet. For HE there is no effect visible in numbers, but obviously the precision is much better as well. CM does not model more fragments from HE bursts which IMHO it should, a few seperate rounds bursting around a foxhole would be pretty ecellent to explode somewhere where at least one of the rounds lands somewhere where fragments end up hurting somebody.

Thin Red Line Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 In CM I don't find 20mm HE really effective against infantry. MGs are better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 MGs got a boost in efectiveness in BB. Chances are 20mm didn't. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 MGs did not get a burst in lethality from CMBO to CMBB. They got a large supressive area around the point of impact. The 20mm didn't get that large supressive area, probably because as HE shooters they have one anyway from the HE burst. But in effect the supressive effect of a 20mm autocannon is much less than that of a even a slow-ROF MG which doesn't sound right. Also, the HE blast rating for the 20mm has been reduced from CMBO to CMBB, IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
