panerfaust arc, and some bug

[ahho]

can't remember correctly if anyone mention this but does the ingame panzerfaust arc reflect the real arc that it travels. What i mean is that right now in the game, the panzerfaust start traveling at a direction and then falls dramatically in some distance. What my understanding of physics is that it should make a nice arc, not a shape of a slide.

also not sure if this was ask. The distance switch for the panzerfaust aim is stuck at 30

Have you tried adjusting the range using "x"? It adjusts the range for my panzerfausts...

 

[Letum]

for the first few feet the PF is still under power so it does not make a propper arch

 

[slyder73]

Once the rocket is fired it leaves under power, travelling in an arc, with the slope of the arc increasing more steeply downwards as it goes. This models real life too....parabolic trajectories not perfect arcs are how projectiles travel.

I believe the actual key is attach bayonet, actually. Default f.

It's always worked fine at 30, 60 or 80 however, yesterday I'm on kongiplatz and the friggen thing starts firing like the stug tank. wherever my sights are looking it fired way off to the left and had never ever done so before.

 

[ahho]

hmm i always thought it was "x" but i did try "f" too.


about that arc but doesn't the PF have momentum i mean shouldn't it travel like a raibow??? not a playground slide shape

Perfect arcs are only possible in a vacuum, otherwise you get a parabola. Because of its shape the panzerfaust has very poor ballistic performance. It loses velocity quickly, thus the exaggerated parabola at longer ranges. All projectiles do the same, some just have better flight characteristics due to a higher ballistic coefficient.

It's like the difference between throwing a baseball and throwing an oddly-shaped rock. The baseball will have a much smoother arc than the rock. That's a good thing, though, because you can land a PF right on top of a tank with practice (I can't do it, but I've had it done to me a few times )

lol I once fired a Panzerfaust randomly in the air so I could resupply myself with a full inventory and I watched it's trajectory because I was getting worried something would happen....it hit a friendly tank's top a quarter way across the map and blew it up.

Also I don't think a Panzerfaust's trajectory was perfect like it is in-game. Now it's possible to hit something anywhere on the map (as my above example) I don't think that was possible in real life, wouldn't it just hit something far off the side of where you aimed it at?

 

[ahho]

ok i understand know because i play too much basketball and other game have it to arc.

about the range switching button, is it f or x because i dun seem to be able to change the range after the update

 

[Rumo]

ahho, it is the same key that you use for attaching the bayonet.
You have the be in IS to change it.

 

[Grobut]

Its either the "Change firemode" or the "Deploy/Attach bayonet" key, i dont remember wich one though, and yes, you have to be aiming it whilst you press the key or nothing will happen.

And the arc is correct, i dont know if its perfect, having never fired a real PanzerW
