Title: Modifiable .target
Post by: boomerlu on October 17, 2009, 04:40:29 PM

A pretty simple request: make the .target modifiable. This would help especially in dead six gunnery practice. A player could get very precise feedback on how far up or down to aim to get the appropriate bullet drop at various ranges. As it is now, it's rather difficult to know how an enemy will look at the .target ranges and also difficult to estimate the center (i.e., what you are actually aiming for).

Edit: yes there are drones, but they do not provide dead six shots. Dead six practice is all I'm really asking for here, it's far too difficult to catalog all the possible deflection shots.

Addendum: Some kind of option to choose which plane to overlay would be nice. This way, full customizability of the .target wouldn't be necessary.

AFAIK, the target stays north of you...so, flying south would present a "dead six" shot. Unless you mean firing AT another's six...in which case you fly north. There must be something else you mean by that.

He wants to have a plane image on the .target as a reference.

Yes, the concentric circles are nice but if we could put a plane in the middle of the target it would be a better reference.

Thanks Del. I wasn't aware how vague my first post was. Make the .target IMAGE modifiable.

would be usefull, could maybe be done like this:


.target  310 -  puts the existing target up at 310 yrds

.targetdrone [plane model number] 300 - puts a specific floating 3D drone just infront of the white target.

I'm all for it as well.

+1

Not only would it be nice for the snipers with the 30mm but it could be nice for tankers and B25H sticks as well.

Just as a reference, the second ring is approximately the wingspan of a P-51. In the image below, a target at d200 is superimposed over a P-51 at d203. Both were at maximum zoom.
