Nedlands and me have demonstrated a parabolic trajectory in the engine, it is very obvious at low speeds.

The drag is related to either velocity or the square of the velocity, I havent been able to find out which yet, the equations are very complex.

ATM the gravity is WAY to low, and the drag effect has been ommitted.

Get that working on a dedicated server without making hit detection any worse than it is and we'll talk.

but what do the marines do with the black hawk then?

They get transported from a to b in it...

I think there will be no argument over this if the blackhawk in game was black it seems to me the only reason some are thinking its a seahawk is because of its grey colour.

The hit detection may end up being better, the bullets will be slower later on in their flight due to drag. I'll try it on a server though.

So what exactly are you trying to change/fix? The gun's kick, or the ballistics? Whatever it is, i hope it works.

I am making them.

Jonny, please make your own thread for this so you dont have to keep posting it in here. Its not terribly related to the US Army, and Im sure a lot of us have questions and want pictures/demonstrations/information on it. It could prove toi be a lengthy thread with a lot of information and comments.

Thanks

Jonny will you incorporate the coriolis effect? Now that would be cool for us snipers to have to deal with!

Can you guess what vehicle I want?

*Hint* Look at my name here

Also improved 5.56x45mm weapons with lower recoil and higher damage at shorter ranges. (>300m) The G3 should not outclass all of the other assault rifles in the game.

Its not so bad at a distance in jungle maps, you will see. And IRL the ACU adapts to its terrain(basically it gets dirty but seriously though) so dont worry n00bies we are safe.

No, they should of just adopted two camoflauge patterns for desert and woodland like everyone was doing before. 1 camo pattern cannot do it all.

I have the belief that in modern warfare camo isnt anywhere near as important as it used to be. At least in the wars we are currently fighting. Its still important, but nowhere near as much as it used to be

Think vietnam, sure it was important

But now our troops are standing at roadblocks, etc.

Sure its a VERY uninformed belief, but really... idk...

And I still hold the idea that the PR army ACU should come in two ACU types. Same exact camo, except one is faded and worn from desert wear, while the other has grass stains and mud. After tall, thats what ACU is meant for, right?

True. Whenever I see pictures of US Army folks walking down a street in Iraq, standing out like clowns at a funeral...I wonder why they wear it, besides being easy to tell apart from the other people around.

ACU in the jungle:

I'm kidding. yeah, it really doesnt look too bad.

ACU actually works VERY well in urban environments. But remember, no camouflage works while moving. Anyway, I give you myself as an example.

You have to think though that not every jungle, forest, desert, city etc. will look the same. I think lighting plays a big part of it (notice how he's in the shade), and other factors such as the colors and pigments of the vegetation and terrain.

Objurium, I dunno, I find the tan coloured stuff you're wearing to stand out less.

It works at a distance. That is what really matters.
