HAT shoot blanks when prone!!!

[sylent/shooter]

In other words, its damn uncomfortable to shoot it laying down But it isn't a bug, therefore this should be closed. Before it becomes a spam fest for people xD

How would you know? Ever fired any small arms while prone?

I have not, but instead of crouching and get the 25kg on yourself, I would guess it's easier when you prone and compensate the weight between you and the ground.

And they have their feet moved away from the backfire area, wich is not simulated in PR. It makes sense, and there is no need for a change, sinceprone has 0 benefits.

I heard of a guy which served in unit next to mine who fired AT on tactical maneuver exercise in prone position but has failed to move the feet on the side.

Lucky for him only hes boots got melted ^^

True to some exempt...but if you dont have anything to support your weapon it can be very tiresome.

Who said thats guided systems should shoot only from standing positions?
A lot of this have microtripod IRL or this is not problem to shoot from prone I think.
ERYX have microtripod.
All Russian guided systems have bipod(Cuz they weight) to use from prone stance.
SAAB NLAW - 12kg=2 AT4.
SRAW is lighter - only 9kg.

Am sure thats better stance for shooting - prone or kneel-down.

the fact remains that if the guys at pr know about this, why not tell us about it?? the way it looks like is that it is a bug as shooting from prone blows up the ground beneath you and not the tank you aim at. Therefore, if IRL HAT's have a bipod/tripod to take the weight, why not implement them in the game?? like the lmg and marksman rifle? Isn't that what PR is all about?

Gameplay > reality. If they think it would have any kind of disadvantage, they won't do it. No matter how realistic it is.

I already see a comment ''model one and we will use it''

[Tarranauha200]

I think devs should model those tripods and make HATs more realistic to use.

And remove the capability to fire it from a standing stance to prevent the pop-up shots when being crouched and just standing up, blasting away everything in your path.

[Tarranauha200]

Nah, just make it so that the deviation increases when going from crouch to standing, that way hat snipers would need to wait before launch.

[MaSSive]

Or add a second of suppression effect or smoke while fired since that would be more realistic? And will add some spice to gameplay.

AFAIK stance change from crouching to standing cannot be coded to influence anyhow on deviation, so that is a no go. Hardcoded ftw.

Each patch I wonder why it's not yet in changelog. Would fix so many gamey tactics.

Agree. Sad if its really hardcoded.

has anyone from pr's dev team reached this thread? i think this issue should be addressed
