Author Topic: Projectile velocity degradation? (Read 395 times)

Question: does Ah model range realtive decreased projectile velocity, as well as decreased damage potential?

The difference? Decreasing velocity would affect target lead at longer range....

Thanks HTC

Yes we do. It also changes with altitude. And direction fired (as in bombers).

Basicly it is just Vel^2 * BulCo * Ro.

LoL HT, I'm glad that last bit was basic to you. I got an F in all higher forms of mathmatics so what you wrote is all I see not what it really means.

Not that it really matters I still love this game other than a few minor bugs.
Just seemed kinda funny to me and i'll bet I'm not the only one that dosn't get it.

What he wrote down is static pressure of an item, in stream of a fluid (air in this case) multiplied with a number to take different bullet shapes into account.
Basic airdrag equation without the bells and whistles.

ro : denstiy
vel : speed

Basically you shoot and when you're far away it hurts less so get in close to make it hurt more.
