How much would bullets typically be affected by wind on - 200 m ranges? Might be nice to add to reduce pinpoint accuracy.
Add wind to affect bullet trajectories

There is no wind on RO2 maps, is there?
Nothing gets blown about, leaves are only swaying slightly in a gentle breeze. I doubt conditions like this would have much of an effect on bullets.
In theory I'm in favor of the idea though.

even with rediculously small calibers like .22 wind isnt going to change bullets much realisticly at short range. The furthest distance battle youl have in RO2 is only like 300 meters for infantry. Something thats going faster then the speed of sound wont be affected hardly at all within that distance.
That would depend upon your definition of "hardly" now wouldn't it?

200 m shots are really not affected by wind when it comes to large .30" projectiles. The deviation is in fractions of an inch to maybe a couple inches. No real point due to the very small scale of all maps in this game. Try ARMA II if you care for that level of detail.
The maps are too small for it and the scaling is still an issue. 200 m in game doesn't really look right to me.

Beat me to it....
I probably wouldn't mind having this feature in the game, however you will need some method on the screen to help people determine which direction the wind is blowing and by how much in order to make it effective without peeing a lot of people off thinking there's a lag issue or that they simply can't hit crap.
I'd prefer this idea than some artifical weapon sway.

Good point, i have read the thing and converted it to metric system so i can understand.
Still at around 180m thats beyond the average distance youl shoot people and at say 20 MPH thats like around the highest wind gets around their to the best of my Knowledge, the furthest youl shoot away from your target is like 10cm. And i have looked at all the calibers shown, at around 200 yards, there isnt much diference at all between them.
Que the licking-finger-to-check-how-much-wind-there-is-and-where-it's-coming-from animation.
Notice in the charts the larger the caliber and heavier the bullet (gr.) the larger the wind affect. The ppsh and mp40's would be more comparable to those at the bottom.
