Ballistics and lack of polish | Forums

[yonlee]

Gentlemen apart from the fact that yes, there is not much feel of uniqueness to weapons but there is another big elephant in the room. Ballistics or lack of.

1) Bullet drop per ammunition is non present. Every sniper rifle has the almost the same bullet drop irrelevant of difference of ammunition. So presuming... assault rifles will have a different drop to sniper rifles, but all assault rifles will have the same one to each other! So all gun types in the game have the same bullet drop in their category. Great.
2) Bullet drop distance itself is strange. Yes there is no zeroing, but at 230 metres (270 yards) all assault rifles, again irrelevant of ammunition type, all drop like an arrow shot out of a bow. At 250 metres the drop is not more than 15 inches NO? Or less? Surely not the full height of an enemy. Sniper rifles too, the HTI drop is ridiculous at 500 metres.
3) Bullet velocity. Haven't checked but presume speed is also the same in every category of weapon.

The shooting experience feels arcady when it comes to ballistics and realism... what's the point of such weapon diversity when it really doesn't make a difference, it's more subjective, more just a preference for every player. Tried almost all weapons (exclude shotguns as examples), and can say accuracy and rate of fire help when going guns full blazing mode on hardest difficulty. For every other occasion in silent ghost mode, no difference, can pistol or smg through a base silently, doesn't matter.

Many more things are annoying. Like when bullets don't always shoot through leaves (which are close to you), while enemy bullets do. Enemies detecting you in a weird way when you are flying over in a helicopter... even if that chopper is stolen from enemy.

This is a tactical shooter, which for me is not super challenging on extreme. But weapons don't really impress at all.

By all means this is a good game but it feels they rushed the release a little.
Just wish it was more polished for this price.

Ubisoft or whoever the developer is. Please get these various issues polished and improved? The price tag on this game calls for better quality.

All the best,
Y

Yes, it's already been stated that the bullet drops are not realistic... and that suppressors reduce bullet speed.
Still, the game doesn't seem to take calibers into account: eve noticed that we you fire with yoyr HTI in primary, your G28 in secondary loses ammo too?

! Never played with two weapons of the same type!

I went and got that really good sniper rifle from the mine the HRT or whatever it's called so I could do the 400m achievement...still haven't managed to get it on target!!
