PR is my top game, but the poor hitreg is driving me mad. Shooting people 5 times with a rifle and for them to kill me in 2 shots. Shooting people in the head to see them just shake it off.

Is this just an unbeatable limit of the Refractor 2 engine?

play on zero hoots

I know what you mean, shooting people 3 times in the chest and getting kill with 2 shoots is kinda weird.

It is usually connected to server.

Start playing on servers with good hitreg such as Zero hoots or GC.

If we decide to stop playing on these stupid servers maybe we can end this hitreg nightmare.

haha

So the hitreg has more to do with server quality rather than the actual video game software? That sucks.

Both.

Alon already have done stuff to improve hitreg.... but you cant make miracles with old engine...

If you are "testing" this on an armored adversary, you need more shots in the hit boxes where the body armor is.

The insurgent has no body armor so 2 shots is about right for the damage setting for most main battle rifles. PR-sniper rifles have a damage level of about 70-90.

Also, I believe the head shot on a soldier with a kevlar helmet is not an insta-kill either.

Each part of the charter has a hit box and they have different damage models. For instance, a leg shot, or a shot to the d!ck, used to cause a 1 shot kill.

Allow me to explain this. Maybe a developer can back me up on this if i am correct this is the case. Its not hit reg, its for game realism. Bullets do crazy things. Not every bullet that hits you is going to penetrate especially outside the center mass of body. Learn what glancing shot and grazing wounds are and how they work. Even 1 shot is 1 hit kill if you hit center of mass, the player needs to bleed out. They even simulate .50 cal shrapnel at times, it wont kill ya, just gets stuck in face/gums. When a Russian faction player gets grazed ive heard them yelp "BLYAT" or other "oomf" sounds.

People have taken glance shots to the skull where the bullet hit, dented then bounced off the skull with man still alive and conscious. People get shot in the face and run off with varying wounds, soldiers in WW1 mostly survived their face wounds cause it happened in the trenches with medical life support in rear, its where humans got facial plastic surgery practice.

Heard a story about a Sergeant who got shot 3 times in Afghanistan, once in the head penetrated his kevlar and the bullet went around the inside of his helmet like a bowl leaving a red shaved halo on his head. 2nd time he got wounded he got shot in the leg from far away, bullet grazed his leg, there was a little blood and the bullet landed in his cargo pocket in tact. Cant remember 3rd time. I heard about another Marine shot in the head, bullet just bounced and left a dent, some blood but the man kept on firing, fighting and moving with his unit asking "is it bad?". They thought it was cool, funny and scary.

No its just shit 2004-era hitreg

but muh immersion ,
