Project Reality Forums

1. on pr i reali like flying aircraft whether it be choppers or jets. the first thing i noticed was that the pilots have had their pistol taken away... WTF!!!!! this mod is meant to be about realism so y would u take away a pilots pistol. every military pilot in the world would carry a sidearm strapped somewhere on their body or leg.

2. ive found out the marksman and snipers zoom capabilities are wrong. the marksman has 2 times zoom options while the sniper only has one, therefore allowing the marksman to be able to see further than a sniper which just isnt right.

3. now this is only my personal opinion but i really do not like the new kit request system. i can understand y theyve taken away kit request from rally points but from a firebase :S i think u should still be able to do that. and instead theyve replaced that with making u request a kit from a supply crate. a supply crate is meant to supply your weapon with ammunition and other weapon supplies and medical equipment not individual weapons themselves. also i think requesting kits from apcs is a bit unreal.

all my points are based on what i believe to be realistic and what is not.

And theres your error. if you had cold hard fact you would have had a strong case. Altough I do not agree with the points (altough maybe on the marksman if this is true) I would have given a reply like: Well it might be not realistic but its still a game bla bla bla.

But if you want things changed that you think is not realistic or is, thats just wrong.

"OMG WHAT DID THEY DO!!1!1!"

1. As I've posted before:

Rhino wrote:yes its realistic for a pilot to have a defence weapon.

BUT by giving the pilot kit a pistol ingame made them play very unrealistically.

in real life, if you are a pilot and get shot down, behind or not behind enemy lines, your main objective is to get back to base.

In PR, this is not the case, if a pilot got shot down and managed to bail out behind enemy lines, there first thought is not "which is the best rout to take to get back to base?" no, its "where can I go to do the most damage with my teh 1337 pistol!"

Also not to mention the fact, many players also used the pilot kit just so they could parachute behind enemy lines and take out firebases etc.

The change is to bring realistic gameplay in by yes, doing a unrealistic thing. Now a pilot's only option if he gets shot down is to do the realistic thing, return to base.

2. No, the zoom levels are realistic. the M14 scope etc dose have a adjustable zoom in r/l, otherwise we would have not done it.

Posted in the wrong forum....

Relax man, they've probably put some more time in this than 2 or 3 days to make 0.85. It comes across a bit offensive this way.

Point 1 and 2 i don't know about.

Point 3 tries to resemble a supply chain i suspect. The crates have to be brought in by someone, just like the apc, instead of making a RP and having a huge variety of kits to choose from out of no-where.

OMG, seriously to slow like always.

1. Yes, we know it's unrealistic. We even had our own military advisers say they didn't want the pilot's pistol removed because of realism issues. This was a gameplay decision

2. The magnification levels on all optics in PR are based on RL data obtained from military adice and personal research. For example, the M24 has 10x fixed zoom IRL while the M14DMR has adjustable 3x-9x zoom.

3. Think about it. The supply crates is how the FO was built in the first place. Stands to reason that it's where all extra equipment would be as well. Also, APC's are very commonly loaded up with extra weaponry for dismounting infantry in real life. So it's not "unreal" to have them as a kit request location.

3. now this is only my personal opinion but i really do not like the new kit request system. i can understand y theyve taken away kit request from rally points but from a firebase :S i think u should still be able to do that. and instead theyve replaced that with making u request a kit from a supply crate. a supply crate is meant to supply your weapon with ammunition and other weapon supplies and medical equipment not individual weapons themselves. also i think requesting kits from apcs is a bit unreal.

true true

There's a reason why the suggestions forum is locked. And it is not because we want people posting their suggestions in the general discussion forum. As your questions have been answered by the devs I'm going to lock this thread.

Suggestion forums are closed for a reason people. Give it a bit of time for all the changes to sink in.

Locked

Edit: Dune ninjaed me

And yet either of you locked it

Thread is NOW locked
