Hell, let's go 300 player servers... then we can have 295 players in Elektro, or Berezino, or Novo, or Svet, or Balota, or whatever other "area" the most people spawn at ...And you'll have the same 5 people running between Balota -> NWAF and all the hot spots inbetween. If you want to impact the player experience (IE - run in to more people), you need to make more unique locations that encourage people to spread out (with an objective), and you need to spread the spawns across the map instead of all in 1 corner. Heli crashes are a good start. I also suggest: -Nerfing Balota much like NEAF was nerfed. -Adding random "convoys" and survivor camps.. convoys = supply filled trucks/busses in the middle of the road surrounded by zeds. -Nerf Veresnik and Kamenka military bases.. Remove the barracks. 4 Barracks and 3 barracks = more than NWAF.. Not right. NWAF is the main military installation in Chernarus. Should not be outshined by 2 small outposts. -Restrict high quality military loot to only certain buildings (Barracks) -Vehicles.. Adding vehicles means vehicles spawn and certain locations become valuable because they spawn vehicle parts (See: Palona factory from the Mod) -Once tents and other permanent storage items are in the game, restrict their spawns to Grocery stores, military installations, and deer stands. -Re-add some military tents to Stary Sobor. Once the map is more balanced, THEN you can start talking about adding more players..But for now (and since launch), it's been 90% of the server congregating in the same 2-3 areas, killing each other, while the other 10% roams the map looting up.. That's not even taking server hoppers into consideration.

Depends on where they are hit obviously. Getting shot with just about anything will send you into shock. Also, depends on the person.. Some people may immediately go unconscious, others may kick into adrenaline overdrive to stay conscious.. Getting hit in any vital organs I would think would incapacitate the person and if they didn't get medical attention in short order they would bleed out. Getting hit in the leg can be serious if it hits a major artery.

Recently (I have video of it that I still have to upload), I took no less than 3 shots from an AK in a relatively small period of time. 1st shot did not make me bleed. It damaged my shirt and vest though. Was probably about 50 meters. 2nd shot made me bleed, broke my arm, and ruined my shirt and everything in it. Shot was from over 150 meters. before the 3rd shot, I got a saline bag and bandaged myself and fixed my arm... the third shot made me bleed, and reduced my heath significantly but not much else. This shot was from about 100 meters. Just some random info. Damage is strange. Recently, I shot a guy in the thigh with a mosin, and it knocked him unconscious and broke his leg.. I then put one in his head and finished him. Another guy, took a Mosin to the upper body (around the neck), and it broke his legs... I then shot him in the side, and he was still alive.. my friend finished him with a mosin to the noggin. I've killed people in 1-2 shots from just about any gun, and I've let loose with other guns and hit them a half dozen times just to have them fall unconscious with a strong pulse. It's weird. I'd like more insight into how it works.

Fair warning; ballistics and motorbike helmets only offer limited protection from small arms. It will not stop 7.62 and only really protects from glancing shots.

Black radar cap or baseball cap. My favorites.

Only when they go on a RAMPAGE!

Too bad bandana's make you look like a cancer patient..

Those situations sound like a reasonable time to use full auto... or a lot of bullets..

I travel to elektro with a few friendly players, when one in our group gets ambushed.

The mosin doesn't shoot to the left anymore.. That's been fixed.

I'm sure that shot tickled at that range. It's taken me upwards of 3 Mosin shots at 800 meters to score a kill unless you hit the head.

Why on earth would you use full auto on any weapon? It's honestly the easiest way to lose a gun fight. AKM with a drum mag, or M4 with a 60 round coupled mag.. doesn't matter.. It takes 1-3 shots to kill.. You should land those 1-3 shots fairly easily by tap firing. The only time I could rationalize using full auto is if you're spamming shots through a door/window at someone, or if a group of players is bunched up in a narrow hallway... and how often does that happen?

Bump

bumpity one time.

Thanks! I agree.. Lukas tugged at my heart strings. Guy was a champ.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the conversation. People shouldn't just take what others say at face value and assume they're 100% informed. I make an effort to inform myself and verify facts rather than just buy whatever someone else is selling.

Send me a pvt msg telling me how to get that stuff? I'm at work ATM.

Friendly encounters really aren't that rare. Your situation is rare .. But in general assuming you aren't deathmatching in berezino or looting nwaf or balota, its not uncommon to have friendly encounters.

Thank you. Will this also display the weight/dexterity values? What about kick/recoil? Can I just view these files as a text file or do I need a specific program?

Collected when and by who and how? As above: if you and I cannot verify those numbers ourselves then for all I know people on these forums are just talking out of their asses... Which happens all the time. So show me how I can see these numbers myself and how I know they are the values the game is using.

The math isn't the problem. When were these numbers taken from the files and where's a complete (updated) list of values from the current patch listed? I'm not questioning that at some point these values were correct. I'm doubting that all of these values are still the same. Give me a reliable source so we're not basing our argument off of assumptions and/or incorrect data. Show/explain to me precisely how I can go about getting these numbers so I can verify your data. If you can't do that then its not scientific.

That doesn't look like proof to me. That looks like a quote of someone talking about dispersion. Please link to raw data taken from the latest patch.

Please show me indisputable proof that the AKM has no "spread" and the M4 does.

Don't be a SHOUTY BANDIT STREAMER.. We have 1000 of them already.
