This thread is about the new headshot rule, and the tidal wave of suck that washed in with it....

@ gazz, with all due respect but what is closer to reality, going down by a 5.56 or taking it like a man and run away or even continue fighting with minimal injuries?

Depending on where you get hit a 556 does fuck0 to you with modern body armor. A medic got hit by a 7. 7.62 got up and went with the rest of the squad after the sniper.

Oh you know its coming...

Board the windows.

Sharpen your hatchet.

Grab your epipens.

whats closer to reality ? a 5.56 and 7.62 having near same damage, or having alot different like now?? (hint, this one.) there are many reports of the ineffectiveness of the 5.56 , and these are mainly against un-armoured insurgents. not modern body armor.

i think headshots shud be double damage...

=pistols arent l33t
=represents a chance of 5.56 not ripping though the helmut, causing severe concussion(s)
=7.62 kill at headshots(designed to kill ppl on a 500 metre range equals high velocity which in turn equals dead helmut)

Nah, double damage seems too 'easy' to me. Kind of 'gamey', but that's not the word I mean.

I'd still say have a random chance if thats possible. 50% instantly dead, 50% revivable. Vaules depending on caliber etc. (100-0 for sniper rifles and .50, 75-25 for 7.62 and similiar, except from snipers, 50-50 for 5.56 and similiar, 25-75 for 9mm etc. -- Without helmet, that means for insurgents etc, the numbers would be like 90-10 for 7.62, 80-20 for 5.56 and 70-30 for pistol calibers). I might have forgotten some calibers now (and didnt make a difference between the different 7.62's), but I think it would be optimal - reducing medic spam, but not making aiming for the head the only effective option you have when shooting at someone. Though I smell hardcodedness.

You forgot the 30 mm, I don't want people revivable after a head shot by a GAU-8

Then again, I wouldn't exactly want anyone revivable if shot by one of those rounds head on, anywhere on the body.

is it possible to create a distinction of hitboxes in the dace area? in other words... 1 for the face, one for the helmet?

It should absolutely one shot kill. Otherwise sharp shooters are not rewarded.
