Projectile Penetration

[Piscator]

Couldn't find any thread about this, but I'm sure it exists.

What really bothers me is the lack of effect a projectile has on different materials e.g. wood, brick wall etc. Every time I see an enemy running for cover behind a wooden fence I think: What a suicidal maniac. But my bullets, even from a MG, bounce right off that solid wood. We've seen it in DOD that this is possible.

MG fire even penetrates solid walls and a rifle bullet could kill two soldiers if positioned in a row. Wooden cover is to be not seen rather than fire coverage. I think this would add a lot to realism and make rifles and especially the MG more fearsome weapons.

They implemented the different velocity of weapon types so I guess it should be possible if not essential. What do you guys think???

"engine limitations" is complete BS.

Infiltration for UT99 has this.

I wish the devs stopped saying "engine limitations" and said "resource limitations" instead.

I was just playing Infiltration and it has SO many bad *** features on a 7 year old engine. Many of these features, RO:OST doesn't even dream of.

The more **** you sputter out of that hole of yours the closer I can see you to becoming apart of the banned club.

The President and Co-President of Tripwire has said penetration is not possible on the level that would make it realistic.

The engine limits the amount of calculations a CPU can make for sure.
It's either the realism we have now (which almost pushes a CPU to it's limits) or penetration.
It's the same kind of limitation we have now for the number of players.
Either more players with less realism or the amount of players we have now WITH the realism we have now.

thanks to aesdana i found the other threads, so sorry about opening another one. I understand the difficulties now. I love this game and if I have to wait for the next generation I will. Its great the way it is right now but theres always room for improvement. So lets keep this game alive!!!!

I asked the qestions about bullet penetration before osfront came out and was told that it wasnt going to be done. Im pretty sure it would be something they would do if they could.

One of the few Kabex posts I can agree with

Come on Moz, where is the love?

If I recall, Infiltration did not model realistic bullet flight. So, eat that.
