New ballistic parameters in upcoming patch!

[DoxHoliday 51]

Big shout out to forum member Gews !!  In case you missed it,  from the Experimental patch notes posted today in Announcements:

 

• Ballistic parameters of all projectiles tweaked for more realism (special thanks to Gews for his great analysis on weapon characteristics)

 

Great work !!  Awesome to see Rocket's incorporating your data into the game.  Since signing up here I have always enjoyed coming across one of your posts where you model ballistics performance of different firearms and projectile calibers.

 

If you share an interest in the details on how various firearms/calibers perform in-game vs live world applications, you're in for a real treat when Gews posts about them.

Good job Gews. You deserve it!

It's great to know that the team is taking an interest in these characteristics. External ballistics is one of my favorite things, along with cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels.

 

It is much appreciated!

Would be nice to know a bit more... what does this mean for the ballistics exactly?

[Deathlove 2286]

Good stuff! :D

Does it include fixing the M4's abysmal accuracy?

Yay for realism updates!

Awesome guess after a long hiatus I will play dayz again.

 

Hope they continue to push for realism and having all the guns be authentic.

Without a better clarification of the patch note, who can say? Still, it's certainly a step in the right direction.

Indeed.

Gews is clearly a man-god and I would gladly die for him.

Woo go Gews, so glad they saw your thread and took notice of what you were saying!
