RO2 MG's are to easy

[Falc.be]

I find that the MG's are:

- too easy to use as assault weapon, almost all users go rambo with it these days
- combined with the static MG's there are simply to many on most maps, they dominate the map way to easily

Of course the static MG's have some problems. It's really easy to just get sniped when you're on one. Last time I played IOM (I think) people wouldn't touche the Static MG's and instead just used the portable ones right next to where the static ones were set up.

I firmly believe in removing zoom and contracting ballistic curves by half. In other words MP will be zeroed to 50 metres and have maximum effective range of 100; MG to 75 metres and maximum effective of 300-400 etc.

This way, drop compensation will play a part plus there will be no disorienting FOV changes. It should be tried in the mod.

I support no zoom. As far as ballistics goes, I just support whatever is realistic.

And if by "The mod" you mean the IOM, I believe zoom is removed in the IOM, I dunno about other things, haven't been able to play in awhile.

Actually its a server setting but personally prefer it off and I believe the servers running it now have it off.

Contracted ballistic curves are necessary as they make you compensate for drop more often. think about it as a workaround to objects appearing more distant due to limited screen resolution! now you simply treat them as being further away.

I consider that bullet velocity can be reduced as well: remember how tanks were a better experience in ro: o when their rounds travelled two times slower?

Ahh, either way, no zoom is good.

I mean, I don't mind actual statistics (that we aren't really supposed to see anyway) being altered as long as it provides a realistic simulation. I would like to actually have to compensate for drop fairly often. I'm just afraid that making a change like that would be a bit jarring after doing it like this all this time.
And unfortunately I never had a chance to get into Ostfront ):
And the one time I tried doing anything in a tank went horribly wrong.
I drove the tank into a wall then the tank exploded.
I then vowed never to curse a tank crew with my presence ever again.

I don't see enough rambo MG to bother me on large maps. small one are hectic enough that I hardly notice it either.
