None of the vehicle turrets I’ve seen (with the exception of the the Laser Rifle and the Tesla Cannon) have ever seemed worth using to me. When you fire them, they fire all over the damn place instead of where you aim them, which defeats the point of aiming in the first place (and I don’t think I’ve…

it’s the current “guns are shitty right now” issue, in car form.

Some of the bigger explosive weapons can be good in emergencies. I’ve taken out a zombie hulk and a chicken walker with the Mk 19 grenade launcher on mine (though unexpectedly, the hulk took about six times as many grenades to bring down as the armored fighting robot). I would have been hard pressed…

I now imagine a guy dragging a travois filled with junk with a ballista attached.

You correctly imagine one of my previous characters :stuck_out_tongue:

I dunno about that. Handguns and SMGs are alright within about shocker shock-cloud distance, but rifles are hot trash. Actually hitting at long range is damn near impossible, even when “long range” means “across the room,” forget about “down the street,” and the aim time on them means they’re absolu…

[image] ShadowDragon8685: bullets go all over the place I’ve noticed vehicle turrets doing this too. There was a bug filed about ranged weapons a year back, where missed shots would veer off wildly. ( #18889 ) It was fixed, but I wonder if perhaps vehicle turrets have something similar happeni…

Aaand that’s the real rub, isn’t it? No matter how low sight dispersion gets, muzzle dispersion remains floored at 45. Which is… Not fine for handguns, but it’s tolerable over handgun ranges, but it’s absolutely awful for rifles, which are ostensibly long-range weapons. Combine the dispersion floo…

[image] Vastin: Also, why can’t we craft rifle scopes You should be able to just tear some binoculars in half and duct tape one part to the top of your rifle, problem solved (Is this even a viable IRL?) Going back to mounted turrets, as far as I can recall you can’t actually steady your aim.…

Yeah, there is an arguable “realism” problem with medium-long range aiming math works. While the sight range/reality bubble issue has already nerfed gun ranges considerably, there is the practical fact that in most circumstances it is extremely hard to hit things with supposedly long ranged guns an…

[image] Marduk: Not all targets are worth the bullets. Also don’t recoil penalties stack during the burst, getting crazy for later shots? Yes; hence people complaining about Mounted M2s spraying bullets everywhere except at the zed they’re engaging, and frequently taking 3/4ths of a belt to …
