realistic weapons physics

How realistic is weapons physics going to be. I assume it not going to be a ballistics simulator is it? Linear cone fire is not an accurate representation at longer ranges.

Also will you be able to re-zero your weapons sights for different ranges?

Will rounds have realistic trajectories and accuracy in addition to power?

A lot of ballistics software has 30 day demos that you can download for free with maybe helpful.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. Im not sure if you will be able to re-zero your sights for different ranges but I would hope to have differnt trajectories for different weapons and bullette drop. That would still be great.

We hope to achieve maximum realism and authenticity in the firearms department of our mod.

Which is going to be very VERY cool

, specially for those players amongst us who like to do some sniping (including me

)

You could finally use the different chevrons on the PSO-1 scope. That would be cool.

ballistics and physics are my department over at reality hq....

im a physics/engineering PhD, you can trust that the bullet drop will be as close as we can possibly get to reality

That's on of the features I loved about OFP. Hard to get used to at first, but once you do it makes things so much easier.

yea or can it be possible to add windage to the game, when it comes to long distances, it would drop alot of sniping from new players to just jump the gun and start playing sniper..lets camp the wall type of deal

I i can see it now, sniper looks into hes binocs and then looks at the target the binocs gives him range, and windage and the sniper "cough" snipur "cough" sets it into hes scope and waits for he's breathing to relax.. well ok maybe the breathing is a little to much but it would still be fun to see a sniper trying to fix hes scope while you already have him in yours ^^

One thing im wondering though is will BF2 allow you to set all these different things? Getting breathing may be a bit of an issue
