Shot 251 with 47mm, no visual effect#136
I shot 251 repeatedly with 47mm AP very close range. There were no hit sprites, no smoke, no flame, no visual damage. I got the kill, but with zero visual feedback, I wsted ammo on it and it kept my atention away from other threats unnecissarily
The 251 needs a to be remodeled. It is far too difficult to kill. He is right on the visual damage issue as well.
The french 47mm ap round is a solid round, no HE componant. If you hit the fuel tank it lights the 251 up, if you hit the engine it lights up the engine. If you kill the crew there no vfx for that. It is not difficult to kill. Shoot where hte round will hit the driver, the driver dies, same with the rest of the crew. 1 shot kills the engine and gets it smoking with small engine fire. 1 hit to the fuel tank under the rear floor sets the vehicle ablaze with heavy smoke. The hit decals, little silver ap hit decal, don’t display well on any vehicle. The APHE and HE hit decals don’t display at all and those have not displayed in a long time. When we have dev time they will get looked at.
I shot the engine repeatedly, it kept driving. I shot the crew compartment, it kept driving. I shot the track, it kept driving. An AP round striking light armor would make a hit sprite in sparks and a little smoke.
But I’ll take your word for it.
The hit decal showing seems to be a issue with distance, angle and motion of the shooter (evenything player spawned has a little movement always) Once I get a beter grasp on all the likely ways to reproduce I’ll ad it to the existing ticket.
I did this multiple times. I had no issue killing crew or engine and fueltank. Of course this is just me with 2 accounts on a otherwise empty server. I was running what would be a coast to coast ping on each client but still I can’t really test for lag on 1 account so can’t say that played into your experience.
I just realized the video didn’t get posted. I’ll re post if I can.
Heh, and I didn’t post the vid of my test killing the crew and engine/fueltank…. Was doing too many things with too many windows and apps open
Here is the video I meant to upload. Due to the uploadable file size restriction, I edited to just a few of the 15-20 shots tht Ihit it with.
Humm yea thats the self propelled gun version I’ll check the damage model on it. And that is also a 2 pounder 40mm not the french 47mm so I’ll need to test with the correct equiptment.
About as close as I can replicate the scene. I see tracer smoke, hit “smoke puff” and 2nd shot ricocheted up into the air. I can’t see any of that on your vid. I see the same across this 1 year old machine, 14 year old 17 rig and 2014 mac mini. All display the tracer smoke and hit dust or smoke..however you want to call the ap vfx. Gonna try to figgure a offline test you can run that would allow you to see without the muzzle smoke being in your line of sight.
My vids will play full screen on youtube in 1080HD
Currious to know if you see tracers like my vid. What I did was spawn a panzer 2c offline. The gunner and commander are 2 position on the 2c, go to position 2 and hit o key to open the hatch and pop the gunner out. you can fire the guns and rotate/elevate them. hit 0 on numpad to xoom in the binos and fire. Should see tracer smoke like my vid. While firing the guns hit spacebar to create a firing clone. Despawn/respawn as aa gun or something with unrestricted view and you should see the clone still firing and see the tracers. If you don’t see tracers in this test then I think it has to be some vid card setting or something unique to your computer.
Yes, the tracers are visible. I have had no tracers issue with three different computers over the last few years with different graphics cards and processors.
I always see my own tracers, by the way, and the vast majority of other players’ tracers. Sometimes, certain players tracers aren’t there while others are.
Yeah my apologies…I thought I remembered being in a S35 with 47mm. Guess it was an A13. It was a few days after the fact when I submitted the bug/video.
Still…
