Implessive. With this most recent achievement, fate has, in a single stroke, marked the decline of the wicked and bestial Boscali and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the Primevan dragon.

I hope the pushcopter he's adding to Nuclear Option next is good. He confirmed it will be nuclear capable and fast enough to escape the 1.5 kt's blast radius.

Ace combat 7 is fucking retarded and i wont pretend its not

>>64042714
Arma reforger itself is pointless.

Is Rise of Flight worth downloading? I know that there are technically in-game purchases, but you get decent aircraft in the free version (Albatros D.Va, Nieuport 17 and Spad XIII). My laptop is almost 20 years old at this point, but I think that it can handle the game.

The more "hardcore" server you join the easier it is on solo players. Not only they attract "higher IQ" players but also lack of mechanics such as player markers, accurate map markers and instant bullshit respawns encourage people to stick together and talk to each other a LOT.
Casual servers of course are also playable and desu majority of "solo players" play on them but then your team is just 64 bush wookies in separate squads that never talk to each other and play cat and mouse with enemy team of 64 bush wookies and then fold the second a group of 4 friends joins one team and steamrolls the entire map.

After playing four of the games (3, 5, Zero, 7) my overall take on the Ace Combat franchise is that they are very soulful / made with love / sincere, but are pretty much braindead to play. 90% of the challenge is deciding what enemies to kill in what order to get your S rank.

Yeah, on Ace difficulty I still think they're fun enough if you're enjoying the ride and treating it as a sort of puzzle to try out different aircraft and orders of approach in order to kill stuff for the best results, and how in some cases to do crazy shit and break the game designer's expectations, but they're 100% not sims and not deep. And in fairness I don't think they make any pretenses to be, they've consistently leaned heavily towards the arcade side of the spectrum and maximizing spectacle. But the love the devs have, the cool world they've built up, all the fun jets, great music etc makes it worth it for some of us.

Also few games I've played are as good as sucking the player's ego dick as Ace Combat. From unknown rando or disdained newb to slowly building recognition and eventually becoming an object of awe and fear all in a really natural and earned feeling way, guilty pleasure I guess but damn if it isn't good at it. A lot of them have nice attention to details most players might miss, even 7 which was in dev hell for ages, nearly got canceled repeatedly, and they couldn't do nearly as much of that as normal. But there are still neat moments like if you sink a platform yourself in that coastal mission before the mission gives you a lock on they comment on your insight/skill.

>>64041634 (OP)
Is this game worth the money?

>>64041634 (OP)
How are the controls with gamepad? Comparable to Ace Combat and Project Wingman?

>>64044630
fuck yeah it is, best "lite" sim around I think unless you get into VR and VTOL VR but even that has more mechanical depth

Nuclear Option strikes a great point between simulation and getting to actually do things instead of flying for 40 real minutes to sling an ATGM. It has a lot of good plane designs that are cool mixes of real life planes and something my step dad kit-bashed together.. like the video in the OP with the... Sukoi F22/18x child

>>64044646
I play on gamepad

>>64044789
>doesn't eject into the ground at the end after coming to a stop

>>64044665
Nta but God I really like the stuff in Nuclear Option but what prevents me from actually buying it is *lack* of VR. After sinking hundreds of hours into PW VR I have such a hard time feeling "right" with flight sims on a flat screen.

Hopefully there's mod support in the future or the devs decide to make that an option.

This thread needs more C&C!

Been regularly playing in some PvE lobby in Reforger, 82nd Airborne Something Something, and literally all I do is run logistics. Occasionally I’ll have to actually use my gun but most of the time I’m just driving supply trucks back and forth while listening to the autists in the radio chatter. One of the comfiest experiences ever.
I might check out some of the other lobbies later, maybe there’s others with more logistics options. I also desperately need a UMP45 modded into the game. I mean, they have MP7s

>>64047111

You know I am legit tempted just to get the game just to join in on that.

Vanilla or less modded servers have some of these issues too, but the W.C.S and like servers are genuinely some of the worst experiences I've ever had in a game period, while some of the more vanilla servers somehow have some of the best.

Ace Combat is just anime bullshit for low IQ plane autistics. If they had any real functional intelligence they would be playing DCS. Instead they beat their dicks raw to basic looking Japanese girls.

Serious time not being lazy is better spent practicing shooting IRL or otherwise investing in actual skills. Games are for fun.

>only the Vortex carries 6, which is still not enough to crack the defenses on anything bigger than a corvette

You COULD maybe overwhelm their defenses with cheaper missiles to give your cruisers some cover, but if you need to get with <15km anyway, what was the point of carrying cruise missiles instead of, say, kingpins?

>>64047898
Any kind of game that's sold on """realism""" is always either painfully boring, tedious, and devoid of fun because reality is fucking gay as shit. Fuck notching missiles and having to go through a 15 step process to blow up 1 virtual flanker, I want to wipe out several hundred million dollars worth of hardware in a single missile salvo and do maneuvers that would turn a real person into a blood slushie if attempted IRL

>>64049095
I always hit them with ARAD but sometimes it just kills the bridge and you have to finish them off with something else. I haven't played since they changed the nuke drop but I would take an fs-12 with 4 radar aams and 2 arads, stay within 20 feet of the deck, then launch the AAMs at 10km to soak the first couple missiles, afterwards launching the ARADs.

>>64049155
Can AAMs even lock on to ships? Do they shoot at them if dumb-fired?

>>64049116
Based, this isn't /v/. If you're going to be autistic about putting hundreds/thousands of hours into something make that something getting really good with guns, or learning to make stuff, or survival/camping, or medical response, or hell for a couple hundred you can actually go out and learn to fly an airplane (a glider) for real. If you want to get super on a sim sure go for it but shitting on people for wanting to use games for simple fun is strange.

>why all the anger towards us bush wookies?
Because campers only work if other people aren't campers.
So you're literally depending on everyone else playing normally while you exploit them doing so.
They only way they can match you really, is to stop having fun and play like you.

If someone is cramping your style in that way, you resent them.
Hating campers is as old as counter strike and right up there with hating snipers.

God I thought this fucking died ages ago. There was another game that was being developed at the same time that was frequently posted about here. Anyone remember it?

>>64049420
they took a few years off and were making IGI Origins

A fun PALA equivalent to the VL-49 Tarantula in the "combat capable transport" category would be a futuristic YC-14. A STOL baby C-17 that can airdrop 40 tonnes. Maybe instead of a guided howitzer, give it a semi-flexible railgun mount.

>>64047595
>It's unreal just how fucked the console kiddies gimped the soul of arma in less than two years.
I've been playing the original OFP and tried a Russian community mod (they're some of the few people who still play with it, I think some Polish gamers too) and they've autistically recreated a bunch of vintage Soviet stuff. Some of the models they've made are nice. It's all in Russian though, so I'd screengrab a briefing and tell ChatGPT to translate it, and that actually works. I randomly picked a mission and it put me in the position of a captured American pilot who is driven around to different sites on Kolgujev, made to wait in a tent under armed guard, and A.I. Russian characters would come up and talk to me (in Russian), and then finally I was driven out into a field in the middle of the nowhere and executed. That was the mission.

Lesson: stick with the Poles

Also someone else is making a mod that takes place in the 1960s that looks cool and I think there are some missions already for it:

>>64049116
>Any kind of game that's sold on """realism""" is always either painfully boring, tedious, and devoid of fun because reality is fucking gay as shit.
I like it to be balanced between fun and "realism." Dslyecxi and the Shacktac people were always good at that. That was the only gaming clan I ever played with in a regular way for a little bit.

>>64049534
>every fighter pilot i've talked to loves ace combat and none of them play dcs because it's like their day job except worse in every way
I knew a guy who flew on Rivet Joints (well he would never tell me the exact aircraft but I deduced that) and took one look at CMANO and was like "ugh, looks like my job when I was in the Air Force." He had zero interest in it.

>>64049809

>>64050842
M855 deals more damage and has a higher overall velocity when paired with the M16. The only advantage the AK has is full auto and RPK mags.
>AK74's kill in 1-2 shots
So does literally every other gun in the game. I don't know where this cope comes from but I can only assume it's a byproduct of the horrible hitreg.

>>64042887
I'd say yes. It's been quite a while when I only had the base game but I played it for a long time without any of the purchasable aircraft. I eventually bought all of them because I got them on sale, no idea what they want for them now though. I love the simplicity and the damage model is still great all these years later. Flying Circus looks and sounds better but even at 50% off you'll have to spend like 150 bucks for all parts, which lack some of the aircraft from RoF (granted there's the Siemens that's not in RoF but that's the only one so far)
I still play it to this day. You can also get PCWG if the regular career mode isn't enough for you.

That was legit an official mission in OFP, think it was a console mission but could download it for PC. You have the opportunity to escape in the tent.

You shouldn't. You should have a decent optic and reticle like an acog and zero at 100 then use the reticle like it's designed for.

>>64052744
cause anon is autistic, in reality you should simply adjust it to whatever range you're shooting at or expecting to shoot at.
if i'm lurking in the forest where im going to be face to face with the enemy ranging at 100m makes more sense than 300.
if im overlooking a town that is 500m away then i range to 500m.

>>64053735
>why the rooskies does not use shotguns?
You're not the first to wonder that.
A year ago, they were creating shotgun dragoons on e-scooters. They seem to still have at least a few riding shotgun in their open-top ladas.
It is a bit of a mystery as to why they can't rustle up enough shotguns to equip a sizable number of lada-gunners though.

It's not like this is a new problem, the counter doctrine is well-established and media documenting it has been widely distributed.
Stalin could probably tell them how John Wayne would have done it.

>>64053317
What? I thought he was asking about actual guns, yes using 5.56. You use something like an acog reticle like this, zero'd at 100. It's intentionally extremely simple, meant for an infantry rifle and very quick easy gudenuf usage, not some complex dmr/sniper tree.

>>64054220
Lol I think it's just a gameplay/coms issue. The user you are replying to appears to be a vanilla enjoyer, where you appear to be a modded mobik
.
Combat battle zeroing with should be at 300m or 440m and you rarely have to adjust it when you get a feel for it.
Battle zero is nice because you don't have to think as much just line up with a common point and the average engagement range just means you are almost hitting around where you want or right on. If you are trying to be more exact and you have the time to fully range the target and gun then yeah zeroing outside the combat zero is good.

Because unless you are specifically doing backline disruption you are a worthless slot. You and 70% of the server just want to sit in a bush and get kills instead of actually taking an objective, it's the reason why teams either get shit on or the match grinds to a halt for days.

Ghost Recon Wildlands. Sure it came out in 2017, that just means you can find it very cheap. Decent mix of guns. Variety of missions. Feels a bit like a special operations gran theft auto.

>>64056576
I played Breakpoint, but heard Wildlands was better. How do you compare the two?

>>64056599
nta but i think it just depends on what you value, wildlands has more flavor and more memorable locations imo, breakpoint has a few gameplay tweaks and qol things that i like. they're much more the same than they are different, even by ubisoft formula standards.

>>64056476
Sounds like the Hell Lets Loose problem?

>>64056599
I haven’t played breakpoint, but I hear the world feels less populated than wildlands.

>>64056576
I Wildlands was more like MGSV with movement and enemy bases it would have been GOAT.

>>64054261
The thing is it’s as simple as just pressing PgUp or PgDown.
Battle zero makes sense IRL where you’d have to either fuck with the front sight of an M-16 or the little lever on the rear flip up iron on an M4 while maneuvering your own sweaty ass.

The HQ commander role is honestly the biggest kind of change. Just ONE player with an incentive to keep the team moving can give the zerger fuck heads something to do with placed objectives that actually makes them useful. That and AI logistics is king shit

Are you Vertibird certified /k/?

>>64060804
AI logi is cool but seems super inconsistent depending on where the base is. I've seen them get stuck in circles trying to get to a weirdly located base. Commander stuff is great. Supply was broken last night. We were trying to deliver supply and get a LAV but the base never updated the count correctly.

>>64051711
For me it’s when I’m running supplies and some dipshit gets in the passenger of my supply truck thinking I’m gonna drop him off right where the combat is

>>64056576
I don’t like that enemies get dropped in one shot. At least Breakpoint fixed that but on the other hand Breakpoint just sucks.
>>64056599
NTA but play Wildlands, it’s like Breakpoint but more charming and streamlined. Breakpoint was great but the awful MMO design kills it for me and the teammates are just so fucking obnoxiously boring that I just disabled them. Also Auroa Island is okay, the futuristic resort aesthetic is very unique and I loved the Deus Ex style story it was going for even though everyone else hated it. But Bolivia is just so much more soulful and has greater atmosphere. Breakpoint also constantly shifts back and forth in tone and plot between wanting to be a Deus Ex unofficial sequel and a generic military shooter. The fact that Ubisoft tried to overcorrect from the robot stuff in Conquest only for the final boss to be a fucking robot is just hilarious to me. Breakpoint was a decent game, I had a lot of fun with it, but it falls off extremely hard after Episode 1, and reading about what could have been and the fact that NFTs are partly to blame for its death fills me with seething rage

>>64062679
>I loved the Deus Ex style story it was going for even though everyone else hated it
Is that not Adam Jensen?

>>64060804
>>64062085
Not sure how to feel about logistics. Logistics is the only thing I enjoy doing in Reforger and now it looks like they’re devaluing players who focus on that. Though I suppose the better way to think about it is that AI logistics just supplements player logistics. The more the merrier I guess.

Lmao yeah the guy I ended up making looked a lot like Adam Jensen. And if you put on Sam Fisher’s sneaking suit it looks like him even more. My headcanon is Breakpoint was the sequel we never got of Deus Ex Mankind Divided

>>64062605
i don't say anything and take the free troops transported XP bonus. Him not knowing where he is or going is not my problem.

>>64062739
Kek fair enough

>>64041634 (OP)
Can I just get doom but tacticool.

>>64062718
I don't think they are devaluing it. I think they are encouraging people to supply points that matter. You can build logi hubs now that are not just 10 armories, or set up a logi base on FIA supply points.

>>64062796
Do you mean Doom setting or Doom graphics/level design? Beyond Citadel is a really good corner peeking game with doom characteristics. Game was made by an absolute pervert, but its fun as hell

>>64063259
I played the first one. It was good and I want a tube fed 44 rim fire pistol from that

>>64063281
if you liked the first one then beyond is absolutely worth playing

That pic might have been a bit too spoilery so maybe the devs twitter post is "better"

This doesn't pertain to the new Reforger update, but recently i found this "Bush War" server on stable due to a friend. I figured there is some of you in here that would enjoy it. The mod list is large but very well set up. Lots of custom content that is high quality and specific to this conflict and server.
The server itself is pretty dead most of the time, but it's still worth checking out just to see. I hear they have events on Saturdays.

>>64059675
Needs a MacArthur mode where you just completely irradiate the korean peninsula

>>64062718
Not really. Player logi runs are still superior to the AI ones since the AI in reforger is braindead, and you get even MORE xp now for doing it.

>>64047898
Nah fuck DCS, play Orbiter and learn an actual skill.

yeah buddy!

Just checked out WCS in Reforger. Holy fuck genuinely what the fuck is the appeal? It’s like taking the base game and sucking every ounce of soul out of it

>>64044789
>Games with realistic crash physics
Inject that shit straight into my veins, I love watching IL-2 montages for this exact reason.
Why yes I have several hundred hours in BeamNG, how could you tell

>>64051713
Fucking broken game that the devs refuse to fix.
>Freeze bug that damages your graphics card has been going on for FIVE FUCKING MONTHS with no fix in sight besides "lol, it's NVidia's fault so that absolves us of responsibility."
Deserves to die for this alone. Fuck Eugen. Also U.S. air power is pathetically underpowered

>>64069728
Please give explanation to fags who have yet to try Reforger what WCS is?

>>64070441
NTA shit server which thinks a modern setting(vanilla is cold war)means giving everyone suppressors and 1x8 scopes. Add the flattest maps of nothing but empty fields with attack helis being spammed 24/7 with a sprinkle of 12y olds and dopeheads for the full WCS experience. Also for someone who actually enjoys trucking supplies, I never really gave much thought how Everon's roads add to the experience until I saw a map with what was essentially only Desert Bus-tier straight roads with nothing going on. Seriously shit map.

>>64070653
Sounds like the average Arma 2 Arrowhead experience?

>>64069790
Wtf is that Wings of Honour: Battles of the Red Baron?

>>64049045
gotta sign an NDA and doxx yourself just to playtest so I expect it'll be a miserable circlejerk where the devs listen to none of the feedback and double down on all the shit features.

I've always wanted to get into WW1 flight games but I just don't have enough repressed homosexuality to enjoy it.

>>64049372
>hating snipers
I think the main reason why I keep coming back to Mechwarrior Online is that the gameplay mechanics completely change sniper dynamics.

>>64068745
You're retarded and you have no dick.

>>64070653
Lmao Everon is genuinely fun to drive in, I agree. No game has ever made me use my brain more than vanilla Reforger. Shame literally every community server insists on handholding retards who don’t know how to read maps. It’s like the entirety of humanity just suddenly forgot there was a period of time where we used paper maps instead of GPS

>>64071454
>the gameplay mechanics completely change sniper dynamics.
How so?

>>64051715
Wow that's depressing. I guess it's like /v/ with HLA when it was announced where everyone who has never tried VR is 100% assertive that "VR is just putting a monitor up to your face"
>Plane game with no VR
This isn't fucking 1999, being able to look around *with your head* shits all over trackIR or stick controls. No depth perception = no buy.

>>64070653
honestly I fully agree with you
the server is gay
the players are gay
the maps suck ass (oh look its a flat boring map wowweee its ukraine!!!!)

the weapon options are soulless and of course because its super hardcore you can only carry 1 rifle and a launcher, wait what is that on the map showing you your location at all times like a magic GPS ?

fags that can't handle the vanilla map navigation are being correctly filtered by the very first layer of milsim.

imo the silly vietnam servers are more fun and enjoyable as an experience and vanillla is still king.

Any love for Flyout, Sprocket, and NavalArt?

I can't be bothered

I'll just say it here to cause arguments but I did not at all care for Project Wingman. It insists upon itself.

Incredibly gay lore and voice acting that detracted from the otherwise passable, AC-esque gameplay. I get that it was a "loveletter" to the AC games but it never needed to be made.

>>64074020
see how realistic it is, you even have to roleplay an actual pilot, brief and plan first then fly the mission

>>64073019
You really wanna fight the whole thread don't you? It doesn't matter bro. You wanna zero all your shit all the time all the more power. Sitting in a bush leaves you plenty of time for that.
Battle zero exists and it works exactly how it's supposed to and requires almost nothing from the user, much less than ranging and zeroing does. Does that mean one is better than the other? No. But I can tell you one is far easier.

>>64074023
PW began development during the time when people thought AC might be dead/dying, it had been a decade since AC6, AC7 hadn't been announced yet, and Project Aces was still fucking around with AC Infinity. There were a lot of indie AC-likes being developed, like At Skies' Edge and Vector Thrust. Project Wingman is the only one that survived to see a real release.
Gameplay-wise PW is right up there with AC. Story-wise it falls short.

>>64056561
>Trigger's... different...

Threadly reminder Red Orchestra 2 is a terrible sequel.

>>64073811
I would not even have such a big issue with it if they just didn't try to make it seem like WCS is the reason the game is even popular. They play into that lowest common popularity 100%. I was playing this shit when it was 'dark gru' as the retard trap and the game was an even buggier mess with even less content. But even then I could see what the devs were trying to go for. WCS just dumbs it all down and feeds off of the tacticool craze.

>>64074023
>>64074191
It would be good if the dev went back and made improvements to the roguelite mode years after promising to do so. Instead there was that DLC campaign that was console exclusive for a while, when the game hadn't even been released on console until then.

>>64074023
AC fans got obsessed with the gay lore and v/o

>>64056599
Loved Wildlands. None of the creeping level BS that makes you constantly have to change loadout because a level 4000 .40BMG is not as powerful as a level 9001 .50BMG. In Wildlands .50BMG is .50BMG. Also just an all around better and more lively map. Story was also better by a wide margin. Only game other than Arma that can compete with Far Cry 2 for my longest shot. I can only hope that when Ubisoft gets what it fucking deserves whoever buys the rights to the franchise makes a new title and takes it back to Wildlands style for the most part. Biggest complaint for Wildlands was flight felt remarkably shitty compared to Battlefield and GTA V which I was also playing the fuck out of at the time.

thoughts on the gun play in gta 4?

>>64074257
There should’ve been an FPS set in the Strangereal world.

>>64074266
as shit as it was, to their credit, they added the option to turn off all of the leveled gear stuff

>>64074272
So hear me out I just replayed GTA4.
Gunplay is kinda ass apart from a few weapons being just "the best".
Mods do exist. Some of the best ones don't do anything with content. Just pure vanilla type stuff. Or they restore content that was removed.
Things like the radio channels having songs or almost the whole station itself removed or replaced. Weapon animation fixes. And all kinds of little things like graphics or weapon stats. Do a YT deep dive. GTA4 is weird you can get the hyper realistic ENB stuff l, but honestly the hype in GTA4 modding is like QoL stuff and basic improvements.

>>64074355
Even for the dlcs?

>>64073716
LRM boats in the back are unironically worse than snipers in most games

>>64049888
This game looks so fucking autistic and stupid I can't wait to preorder it when ever possible.

>>64049888
Whats it called?

Which game has the best suppression mechanics according to (You)? I personally hate those that aggressively obstruct vision ala ACE or makes your game constantly flash white and black. I uaven't played Red Orchestra 2 in forever but I remember the suppression being quite good.

>>64074566
RO2 was the best, everything since is varied. Arma 3 can have great suppression if it's modded and value'd well.

>>64074553
PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant
They are germans, pls understand.

So, you actually CAN kill destroyers all by yourself. All it takes is spamming 6 harpoons per minute!

>>64074296
>There should’ve been an FPS set in the Strangereal world.
Imagine adapting Eve's Dust514/Vanguard to the AC world for those combined arms missions.

Modern reforger servers are just an experience in realising just how fucking unbalanced the attack helos can be if they were modern day versions

>>64074972
They're only good in Reforger cuz every server that has them completely neglect adding any actual AA.

>>64075156
Seems like same problem with previous Arma games:
Server doesn't add AA - Fags just dominate with air
Server does add AA - Fags are retarded with air and keep blowing themselves out the sky

>>64074566
I hate suppression mechanics in general. You’re getting shot at, that’s enough suppression for me. I don’t get why games insist on making you blind when you take suppressive fire. If it was Halo or Cowadoody then sure I might run out and go straight for the source of fire but if it’s some “milsim” shooter or some other game with a low TTK I’m running for cover the instant I hear gunshots

>>64075325
Don’t forget the biggest problem of all: game has a glaring issue that ruins the experience for everyone - devs don’t give a fuck about it and just leave it up to the community to fix it themselves

>>64075376
Problem with a lack of suppression is how it gimps bigger/stationary guns. Take the 50 cals in Reforger, they're all pretty much worthless against anything that shoots back and the open top humvees are just free kills. They recently added the ability carry tripods but I don't think anyone's ever gonna use them because why would you ever want to make your gun stationary?

>>64075393
HMGs are more about setting up ambushes, anti material, or tactical use. Rolling in with them and trying to swing on fools has never been a good use case. Suppression or no.
The newest experimental patch is far more interesting then I was expecting. The ability to set up bases where you want leads to some very unique fights. >>64075393
Last night I was playing and we were shooting at each other with HMG nests across the fields of Figari and Provins all the way up to Bonfire hill. It was like bo round of Conflict on Everon I had played before.

Holdfast WW1 mode gets emplaced machine guns surprisingly right. When it first came out seeing them firing at night was atmospheric as fuck.

>>64073716
Due to armor, structure, and compartmentalized hit location it's really hard to one shot someone, and due to weapon balance range is inversely proportional to damage, heat, and/or weight along with all weapons having a "tell" in the form of either muzzle flash or projectile appearance that allows you to see what they're firing and from where. Snipers function more to restrict movement and tie-down the enemy than BOOM! HEADSHOT! Light and Medium snipers focus on harassment and chip damage while needing to relocate constantly while Heavy and Assault snipers can do heavy damage they should be drawing attention to themselves to distract the enemy so strikers and brawlers can maneuver into place.

>>64074410
LRM boats are easily dealt with, the problem is most Quick Play teams are completely fucking retarded when it comes to dealing with them. Shoot down UAVs, move from cover to cover, check your surroundings for a spotter. They're support builds that require the team to support them in order to function but pressing the "R" key is too much work for a lot of people. I've got a couple of LRM boats myself and half my matches are having to position myself in the middle of the fight just to hit anything. Hell, my highest scoring match ever was in a Thunderbolt Trebuchet that I literally had to park in front of my entire team just to be able to fight.

>>64075393
Again, you’re already getting shot at. And if the sonic cracks are close enough they’re gonna be loud enough that you’ll automatically just run for cover, go prone, or just panic and act like an idiot. You could do something like Hell Let Loose where the screen gets blurry but that effect lasts way too long and leaves you open to people running at you with MP40s/M1A1s

>>64079422
I miss Battlefield's suppression. The second they got rid of it and made it only spot MGs lost a huge portion of their function.

>>64065547
Been a long time...
Before I was converted to KSP, I actually played Orbiter when I was like 12-15yr old?
Did a reentry with DeltaGlider, reached Mars, Appolo mission mod.

By the end I played with the XR hypersonic shuttle,
Then the huge cargo hypersonic one.
Then I flew both to Mars carried by THIS interplanetary ship.
