[Compass Rose]

Tomorrow would be a really good day for you to take it easy, kick back, and take a break from the Blitz.

Nothing will be going on over here!

What is today but yesterday's tomorrow

[Wodin]

Richie it works and you wont cause any damage at max range..maybe a bit of fatigue or something if you have alot of shooting going in.

Also remember a platoon has LMG usually and maybe a coiuple of soldiers with telescopic sites.

Guys,

It may shock you but the average infantry platoon can shoot three to four hexes. That's out to 1,000 meters. Keep in mind that there is pretty serious range attenuation and most (effective) shots will be one to two hexes away maximum. These rifle platoons have LMG's etc included in their inventory which is a factor in the range. SMG units usually have a two hex range and pure MG units four to six dependent on the equipment. It becomes pot shots beyond two hexes for anything other than an MG and half the time you don't want to reveal your position until you can see the whites of their eyes...

I had the privilege to play the Beta today..this is the best JT series yet. This for me is the best game I've played of his yet.

Not only visually is it so much better but also gameplay wise it feels good to play.

[Richie61]

Jason,
That sounds cool.

It's just that I shoot both my 1939 K98 and 1943 Mosin Nagant at my local range (300 yds/ 900 ft/ 275 m) and I am a really good shot, but without good glass on the tube it's tough to hit anything.

The range effect modifier effects every hex, so if shooting at a range of 8 hexs every hex past 1 is harder and harder to get a result so a SA of 100 at 1 hex range for a unit could after the range modifier is applied for 8 hexs could only be a SA 24 for example. Wont get to many results, more of a lucky shot and take into account most units have more than 1 kind of weapon so theres less weapons that can be effective at the longer ranges.

Aaron

example... 1.2 range mod

1 hex...SA 100
2 83 SA
3 69 SA
4 57 SA
5 48 SA
6 40 SA

Now this is just an EXAMPLE, dont take this as whats set up in Kursk

What is SA? Small Arms?

Also. What is the 1.2? Some type of multiplier in the calculations?

[Aaron]

SA. Soft attack value

1.2 is a modifier in the .pdt file under range modifier. You can see it in your pdt files in PzC and MC and yes it is used to do calculations when firing multiple hexs

What is today but yesterday's tomorrow
