More realistic Mortar

Admins · #1 09-22-2007, 12:31 AM

As you might know the mortar was always a little bit strange, with slowly flying grenades. This has been changed. With Graal v5.1 it is possible now to use different gravity for each projectile. The mortar grenades are flying faster and in a higher angle. To compensate for the higher speed the freezing time has been slightly increased (+0.2 seconds).

How's it easier? I mean the mortars go slower now.

What was that?

*Side Note* You have used this correct? They reach their target much quicker, and based on how well I lamed before the change, I have a lot easier of a time after the change.

They get to their target faster but shoot slower. You should be able to dodge it when before you would have maybe 2 or 3 falling at you at the same time. Just forget about it.

I think this really doesn't change anything except making base laming a faster process, but slightly less effective due to less 'spam' at one time. So really, if you want to effectively lame, 2/3 people are needed instead of 1. But that excludes the man-power needed to take the base over and also make sure the mortar men aren't in danger.

I'd say, good update, slow moving mortars did look rather odd. And the reload time can be seen now, as we should all know, mortars do take time to load.

They shoot slower yes. But the time of them getting to their target is greater then the decrease of speed of the shots. Thus they are still faster. And regardless lameing is MUCH easier.

If you look at a mortar in real life, the fall action is almost immediate.

*Looks @ my Reapers in real life*

I really hope I don't need to explain this point...

Reapers dont really exist, but a mortar could be made more realistic and also balanced out a bit more. Mortars do shoot pretty fast, though they need alot of time to reload, probably even a little bit more like now eh.
