[Weapon] v0.9 Improved Area Attacks

[R-DEV]Jaymz · 01-05-2010, 12:42 AM

After seeing one too many fartillery strikes and faildams, we thought it was about time we overhauled the "Area Attacks" in PR to be properly representative of their real life counter-parts in terms of damage, firing rates and impact zones.

Mortar Barrage

This will be the primary area attack for our unconventional factions but will be available to all on smaller maps.

Weapon : 81/82mm Mortar x 2
Projectile : High Explosive
Projectile Kill Radius : 20-25m
Projectile Wound Radius : 40-50m
Impact Zone Radius : 30m
Barrage Length : 30 rounds in 30 seconds

Artillery Barrage

This will be used for conventional factions on select medium/large maps.

Weapon : 105mm Howitzer x 4
Projectile : High Explosive
Projectile Kill Radius : 35m
Projectile Wound Radius : 80m
Impact Zone Radius : 50m
Barrage Length : 24 rounds in 45 seconds

Laser Guided Bomb (JDAM)

This will be used for conventional factions on select medium/large maps.

Weapon : 1000 pound General Purpose Bomb (equivalent to a MK-83 or KAB-500L)
Kill Radius (regardless of cover) : 75m
Kill Radius (open terrain) : 175m
Wound Radius (open terrain) : 350m

I'd like to give a special thanks to [R-Dev]Ninja2Dan, who's vast real life experience as an artillery crewman was invaluable here. I'd also like to thank the Combined Arms team for helping fix the "faildam"

Side Note : For those wondering about having multiple types of area attacks on one map, this will be looked into after 0.9.

What was the exact numbers for the old area attacks, and are area attacks getting fixed so they dont kill caches through 4m solid cave roof?

Nice

Good thing the molotov code or w/e sniper was talking about works, hjust want to see his vid posted soon.

Lastly though, are availability times going to be affected at all by this?

O LAWD!

Nowhere to hide now. I assume everyone within 350M will have to patch themselves up?
