Hev Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Im still quite anoyed that (for some unknown reason) BFC changed the graphic for the artilery from the vanila version. I realy wont that cone graphic back, we know its more realistic then the "ball" explosion and BFC should never have changed it in the first place. For me my first "Holy **** how cool was that moment!!" was when i first saw a 155 barrage with the cone of death. Now its just a distant memory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 To be fair, the Cone of Death wasn't all that good either. Yay for the cone shape but the speed of the shrapnel was woefully slow. Looked very odd. Don't know why it was changed though, no-one complained about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adultery Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i think the cone was crap......looked like confettii falling down if your not into realism then maybe someone can mod it into falling roses or something for you personally i like it to look like the real thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 And now captain you show how little you know about that of which you speak! I suggest you resarch before replying to posts. Do you realy think that an artilery shell explodes the way its portrayed in the game? if so can i have your bank account number and all your security details please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Cheers Huntarr, theres a cool diagram in there that proves the cone effect is more accurate, pluss, i dont care what the morons say the cone looks much better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adultery Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 im pretty sure its not a rain of paper down on the enemys head....the particles looked to have a velocity of about 5m/s though with 2 min of looking...i see that i was wrong about the shape, pretty neat how they direct it down http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/2002gun/becker.pdf i stand corrected 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 So we need the cone animation back after a course of steroids 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 We need little puffs of dust where the shrapnel hits! Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adultery Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 well....IRL you dont see the fragments thus the cone should go rollstoy is obviously a man of great intelligence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Wait a minute captain, if your going to use THAT argument then the spherical explosion needs to go too. I realy hate people who argue a point with one argument, then when that gets disproved they just think up a new argument. You sir are an idiot. We NEED an explosion graphic, it SHOULD be as realistic as possable and there MUST be visable signs for the player. Now then private adultery, we know YOU dont like the cone graphic but the fact is ITS THE MORE REALISTIC OF THE TWO. Rolstoy: id like to see the cone bcak with some ground effects as well, be nice if your arty kicked up a serious sand storm when it hit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm all for the cone to reappear, provided it doesn't look like the airburst confetti dispenser we had before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Maybe, to save dust sprites and particles, they could also bring back the good ol' shockwaves, this time in form of a ground-hugging polygon "fence" that fades out at the top, not the whole semi-sphere ("blast") that the current particle system ("shrapnel") obviously is equivalent to. Best regards, Thomm PS: Do the shrapnel particles actually get some collision checking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
