Project Reality: BF2 v0.96 Features List

[TheComedian]

The chopper-launched ATGM's like the Hellfire require laser painting from a spotter on the ground as of v0.95, right? Does that go for the Kiowa Warrior's Hellfires too? I seem to recall that the real-life Kiowa Warrior has a laser designator integrated into the mast-mounted sight assembly, does the in-game Kiowa Warrior have this ability?

As of .95 the hellfires are point and click weapons.


60 flares for transport helicopters? They aren't even needed that much.

IMHO attack helis should be the ones with 60 flares. Or 2 flare instead of 6.

AncientMan;1622112'][*] Updated bleed/hit screen effects; getting hit and bleeding produces a sharp eyes-shut 'wincing' effect as opposed to the original method of covering the screen in semi-transparent red blood.

YES! YES! YES!

If I recall correctly, Paramedic was working on a Canada versus Taliban map called Devil's something, looked really promising. Is work still being done on it?

The map was called Devil's Tower, and unfortunately he has stopped working on it.

[Coorsfrostbrew]

The suspense is killing me. RELEASE IT!

[doggreen]

and maps of insurgents the respawn cache unknown will be change?

would be great if you were able to change to avoid born in caches unrevealed.

generally found the changes which will ensure excellent great games

[Neighbor Kid]

i see nothign about the M1 Abrams sounds... the engine is still way to quiet.. and the tracks are way to loud fyi..

[Damian_]

Like always, waiting for new PR release makes excited, like when I had 3 years and was waiting for Xmas.

getting hit and bleeding produces a sharp eyes-shut 'wincing', Im wondering how it will look like.

Finally friendly armor HAS TO SUPPORT friendlies instead of having their own battles in the infinte amplitude of the desert.

I doubt that it will motivate armor squads one twittle to support infantry. There is no incentive for them to do otherwise.

AFsoccer;1622292']....But have no fear, we have some terrific maps in the works and you might see as many as 6 or more new maps for the next release.

Also, if you would like to contribute to PR by mapping, take a look at our modding forum at: PR:BF2 Community Modding - Project Reality Forums

This is good to hear. I too was hoping for new maps as some of these are starting to be like in-laws to me.
I took a stab at making a map but didn't get past the original concept (maybe later when I have more free time). They take LOTS of work and feedback along the way.

[Predator.v2]

No fixes to the suicide bomber Su-30?
The gunner still cant drop any bombs without destroying the own plane..


-Decreased total armor on nearly all helicopters
Have you decreased the hueys armor even more than the others armor to bring him in "line"?

Can you tell us, what have been the "original" magnification on all the changed weapons?

-Fixed 120mm HEAT round damage against MBT front armor
-Fixed 120mm AP and HEAT round damage against APC and IFV armor
Can you explain these changes?

-Fixed critical bleed rate on all choppers to be 1% of critical armor level
What have been the original bleeding rate and how many % is critical armor level?

60 flares for transport helicopters? They aren't even needed that much.

IMHO attack helis should be the ones with 60 flares. Or 2 flare instead of 6.

if you dont use flares that much with trans helos then youre not that type of pilot i want to fly with :/

but 2 flares instead of 6 is something i waited for for several updates now .... its just not realistic and a complete waste of ressources -.-

[Stealthgato]

I hope the armor on heavy CAS helicopters (Cobra, Apache, Havoc, Z-10) wasn't decreased, they're weak enough as it is. I like decreased sprint regeneration time but not sure on the increased movement speed...

[Rudd]

but not sure on the increased movement speed...

its quite a subjective variable, decide when you've had a go with it, imo it feels a bit more natural.

[Bob of Mage]

Could I get an answer to something that a number of Co-op players are wondering: How was Jabal Co-op broken and will it return post-0.96?

Also will Co-op finally have AT mines and arty IEDs for any irregular faction? It makes it really hard to play any irregular faction properly if 2 of the must powerful AT options are not on a single map (the one exception is OP Black Hawk Down from the map pack which CTDs for many players and even then it only gives you AT mines).

Increased number of flares in transport choppers to 60 ................ what about the CAS helis champs...

why do you continue to neglect/nerf them

I am really sorry about this, however Jabal got a little updated this release. We moved the carrier in order to increase the view distance, this broke PRSP, and as a result it'll need navmeshing again I assume.

the change was done by me, so if the PRSP team isn't up for getting jabal done up, I'll go back to the original Jabal and put it in a new folder and upload at a later date for you, so that you can have that for PRSP.

Updated mortar base protection shields to be included on all maps

Can someone clarify this?
Is it just like the dome on the Jabal Carrier that can be shot out of but not shot in to? Or is it different

mortar shields only affect projectiles, in a similar way to carrier defence shields

Increased number of flares in transport choppers to 60 ................ what about the CAS helis champs...

why do you continue to neglect/nerf them

Well consider that at the very maximum there are 2 CAS helis per team (kashan desert) at a given time, which means 8/64 players could be using them. This means that at most (and honestly it's a rarity to have that many in them, except Kashan, Qinling and Iron Eagle AFAIK) 1/8th of the players are actively using the assets (discounting calling for cas for the time being). This leaves 7/8 or ~88% of the rest of the game that needs attention over CAS.

That logic is a little bit broken but the "I can't make sense of him right now" version is that attack heli's are a very minor part of the game, and as such you would expect that very minor attention is paid to them

Plus, let's be honest, withvideos like this being rather common, do you amazing pilot/gunner combos really need any more help at being awesome?

[Rudd]

just think of flare limitations on CAS as fuel limitations and it makes alot of sense tbh
