mraidanpreston 1 Posted May 21, 2013 Ok, so I pinned two guys down behind a bush last night, and I shot a M203 HE around 20m behind them? hard to shoot the M4A3 HOLO:/ and they combat logged? I was wondering if the HE hid any damage to them? before they logged? I must of if they logged? ~Aidan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyxamatosys 2 Posted May 21, 2013 Not sure about effective radius but i have shot it before and landed right next to them and they lived, other times I think I miss and kill them I think you just need to be lucky ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdz (DayZ) 238 Posted May 21, 2013 Little do many people know but DayZ actually comes with an awesome game called ArmA. Maybe you could load that up some time and have a play around? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) indirectHit = 10;indirectHitRange = 5;So, 5 meters max.The damage for this is much more complicated than I previously thought...Edit: actually it seems it can be more than 5 meters. I'll look into this more... Edited May 21, 2013 by Gews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mraidanpreston 1 Posted May 21, 2013 indirectHit = 10;indirectHitRange = 5;So, 5 meters max.The damage for this is much more complicated than I previously thought...Ok thanks for the help xD I guess they just shit themselves and logged:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Ok thanks for the help xD I guess they just shit themselves and logged:DHeh check my edit above... I have to check this out more. The max possible range may be 20 meters.Tentatively speaking (not sure)0 meters: 22,220 (? maybe 5,555) damage5 meters: 5,555 damage10 meters: 2,778 damage15 meters: 1,389 damage20 meters: 0 damageEven if that turns out to be true damage seems to vary a bit every time due to all the variables. Also the damage I posted isn't blood taken away, don't compare it to "blood" values. It's just a way of showing how it degrades...Like I said this is something I need to look into more.Edit: still, if it hit 20m away from them... it would do little to no damage.

-Gews- 7443 Posted May 21, 2013 I just tried standard hand grenades...At my feet one did 60,000 blood damage. 10 meters away it did 12,000 blood damage.More importantly, the first two times it did fatal head and torso damage (grenade "headshot").About 20 meters away it only did 1,500 blood damage.

Serious Stan 202 Posted May 21, 2013 Once a suv with 2 bandits was coming towards me on tavi mountain trying to roadkill me.I load a HE grenade from my holo in their suv, ofcourse with fatal result. But not for another 20 seconds. Enough for them to jump out and shoot me in the face :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claw 26 Posted May 21, 2013 Nice to see some figured for the 203. In ref to the op. i think you can just be unlucky sometimes in arma. I took out a suv with a javelin on wasteland the other day and there was a guy standing right next to it and he survived.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narwaljunior 18 Posted May 22, 2013 Shot a 203 at a sniper from 300 m away, hit right next to him and I saw his gun twerk up. Apparently he didn't die but it sure ruined his day. He also ruined my torso with 2 sniper hits...Don't worry, I lived and I think he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xianyu 820 Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, if they have a full blood, a direct hit from the M203 won't kill them.http://dayzdb.com/database/m203-heIt goes 8000 damage on a direct hit, apparently.'Kill' radius is 5M, and 10M for minor damage.The 'kill' radius is for arma, I'm thinking, where health levels aren't raised.

I assume the person who put that couldn't come up with a way to describe explosive damage.Indirect hit is more complicated... I tested it a bit the other day.Direct = 36,000~5 m = 23,000~10m = 1,500However that is not the whole story! You don't need to take away 12,000 blood to kill someone. You can headshot them with a Mak, for example.Grenades inflict damage on every body part - this means grenades will technically "headshot" you, frequently resulting in an instant kill, so comparing their damage to bullet-firing weapons is hard.
