[Weapon] Artillery Updates

[dbzao]

We have been working on improving the artillery for v0.9.

In this new setup with have a battery of four 105mm artillery pieces, simulating a realistic rate of fire and impact area, based on military advice.



In the video, the projectiles timings should be actually a little closer together, but we are working on it.

So with in that radius is it safe to say that an arty round hit the whole area? Cause i hate that now when you call arty the enemy disappears in the smoke only to pop up after the strike is over.

[Bamtoman]

Wouldn't there be a longer boom sound?

[Conman51]

that looks and sounds really really kick ***!!!


if only it was more available then like one per game

Yeah good point. Arty is really not such a big deal that it should be available only once. Im thinking more like 3 times? I know its all based on time and how long the map last really but im sure you guys could find away.

well its not really the number, its just the amount of time is so long that there usually is only one available per round but if a round does go on for anout 3 hours then you could see 3 but that usually only happens on kashan

Yeah i edited my post to say that cause i knew someone would.

Maybe they could just reduce the timer or make it a little longer but have 3 strikes be available when you finally get them.

Hes trying to make fun of the apparent retarded gun team on that last gun lagging behind with that last shot.

[dbzao]

Oh yea... They are indeed a little late, that's why I said the timings were off

Nice work guys!

[OkitaMakoto]

I like it, might lure a few enemies into a false sense of security.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!................
"Is it over?" *peeks head out*
BOOM!
*dies*

Once again, good work. Looks and sounds great too.

24 shots in 60 seconds. 6 shots a gun.

Cool.

But why the 105s and not the 155s?

[Hoboknighter]

Will the cooldown timer be modified from 60 minutes? For example, 30 minutes or 20 minutes instead?

[agentscar]

See arty team #4 isn't "slow"..They're just playin mind games with the enemies,lol..But the arty looks like it's coming along nicely!

[Jaymz]

24 shots in 60 seconds. 6 shots a gun.

Correct, in the video you see a 60 second barrage @ 6rpm. However, that's liable change to a 30 second barrage @ 8rpm.

But why the 105s and not the 155s?

We discussed both thoroughly. Having it be 105mm allows for double the rate of fire which we found preferable. Even with the damage realistically modelled after the 105mm HE round, it's much more devastating than the artillery in the current release.

[charliegrs]

is there anyway to get the incoming artillery sound like in this video?:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kWBjbzK-KOs&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kWBjbzK-KOs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube]
that sound right before the explosion. everytime i hear that it sends shivers down my spine. i bet it would to whoevers on the recieving end of the arty in PR too.

[Jaymz]

^ The sounds are like that already. The problem is getting them to play and be heard properly when incoming. In the words of those invisible ******** in Warcraft3, "I'll look into it!"

[Nibbit]

nice one, looking very good
