i was wonder if you can increase the range of bulets. i was using the aa and the range of the guns was short of what u can see. i was shooting a tank and hte bulets did not reach. or can u just not see them blow. but i think it the range needs to be increased if it can. how far can rifle bulets go, and other things.

and can planes see longer then ground veicles, becuse i was being hit by a plane and i was looking right where it was shooting from and did not see it 1 sec later. or is it just me?

The draw distance is shorter (I assume you're playing El Al XXL?) than the view distance, so I think at some point you lose the ability to see shells exploding. Planes can't see the actual vehicle from further away, but by using the bombing radar you get lit up, so they can just fire at the HUD icon denoting a vehicle.

As for range of fire I think they go on until the hit something, usually by the bullet drop eventually causing it to hit the ground. Also your rounds could simply (no knock on your accuracy:lol :) be missing, if you zoom you can see they do not go perfectly straight. Though I'm not positive that they just don't disappear.

As far as the realistic ranges on weapons, I'm sure you can rest assured PR devs will do their best in making them realistic.

im shure they will make them realistic, but i think the fade becuse i was shooting a bit over the tank, then on the tank and i could not see the shels blow up. and yes it was EL AL XXL (and it is a great map) wish more people to play it so we could have a real tank battle. it would be sick (if it dose not lag)

They very well could disappear, but I'm not sure, I can use the AA or APC and see impacts on the mountains in the middle of the map (when I can max everything out (with nooone playing)). When they go straight they do fall below my crosshair. I agree with you, I think it is one of if not the best map in the pack and would love to see more people on it (without the damn planes! :grin: ).

the planes can be there i think if only they need to land to rearm or there was 1. the aa realy dose an nuber on them if u can use it right (the guns missles dont do much be distract the piolet) love aa now cut them down i a bit and the plane incorages team work with the aa and the tanks. the aa keep the tanks safe from air craft and the tanks from armor.

True, I was joking a little since I've been one to say that El Al is a very difficult ground battle (sometimes annoyingly so) because of the aircraft, which it is. The planes are far too easy to use as it is now.
