What? The bore size increases with heat in the barrel. The fit becomes looser, mutatis mutandis.
Generally, you're thinking in the wrong direction. v0 for firearms generally decreases with temperature.
See Carnut's response.
And just to counter any guy who might jump in here and say "Well, but a tighter barrel means more fricton decreasing the v0" That isn't how it works.
This doesn't make any sense either, as this effect would be by far cancelled out by the slower burn-rate of the propellant and a similar effect on the propellant gasses.
Seriously, this isn't a guess game. Either post if you know the answer or don't.

...Why exactly is Barakas getting these kind of responses? There is no law for posting when you aren't sure about something.

Ok - we aren't worrying about the changes to the barrel due to temp - it is the temp of the round. I think lemon said it - as the ambient temp drops, so the mv of the round drops, as the propellant does indeed burn marginally slower...
Ok then, wouldn't it be more accurate that it depends on the ammunition temperature rather than the ambient temperature?
And if so, are you guys doing something similar for marksman rifles?
Would add some nice gameplay features, keep one round in the "warm spot".
"Quick Hans, give me your special round!"
"But I have to drop my trouser to do that!"
True, but guess what happens if 15 people start guessing...

Yes, it was also my assumption that there were simply two states to buildings after that Demo. I'm personally glad to see the Developers surprised me again and raised the bar on yet another game mechanic.
I think his logic was superb, although he reached the wrong conclusion.
I would encourage this kind of post, it gets really lonely here when you don't.
No, it certainly wasn't.
The funny thing is, few people here have played RO2. This is a forum from a game that's not even released. Everyone is guessing here, even you

To be perfectly clear, when I was asking my question I didn't want someone who has no clue about firearm physics jump in and post what he thinks "might" be the case, I was simply expecting either Alan to answer me (which he did) or somebody who knows what he's talking about explain it.
This feature is a direct implementation from RL physics, not some feature the dev's think fit but isn't based on RL. You can't discuss or explain this feature as you would do with any artificial thing such as crosshairs or freeaim, this is a scientific fact that can only be explained in one way. And since this isn't an unknown fact and has been researched a lot, guessing at it makes no sense at all.
Imagine you asking somebody what causes gravity, and all you get is people who have no clue of gravity presenting multiple guesses. This isn't exactly helpful, you know... It's more helpful if they simply say "I don't know, but I'd also be interested why this is the case".

Thanks for the info guys
I'm pretty sure it was in the mod. One of the coolest details in RO.
I didn't know this either.

Is it that bad to hear ideas what it might be before someone who knows the question answers? Either way you don't have to be an ***.
I can tell which forums I'm in by how the heated argument is over the technical effects of a tank round with temperature, even after being told what the in-game effect will be.
I think ultimately it's up to the mapper, you may be able to make great use of those fractured meshes. I'd imagine there'd be some brick walls and things of that nature that tanks could drive or blast through. heck, if you had the time you could probably make a few completely destructible buildings.

I wouldn't worry too much about 75% of the forum members on here as most probably haven't even finished high school yet.
You are completely justified, and I'd have to look sideways at anyone who thinks bashenka's arguments were either scientifically sound or even appropriate.
And for all you lurkers out there, why don't you actually engage your brain and post why you think bashenka is right/wrong instead of down-rating every post and running?
Why are your posts getting rep-blammed?
TW agreed with you and aside from that I think what you're asking (don't preach if ignorant) is reasonable.
How is talk about scientific fact that occurs outside RO2 in the real world, dependent on who has played RO2??????
btw this thread looks like it's going to need to be locked I'm afraid.
