300-350M for a sniper, your headshot multiplier is buffed up tho. It was to discourage redline snipers while rewarding actual marksman.

Lets stay on topic here...



GIVE ME BACK MY RANGE CCP!
YOU'RE EFFECTING MY BUSINESS!

Yea, seems like they are catering to the 10 year olds who spend their mommies money and cry on the forums, because they have no savvy when it comes to wargames. I was getting head-shot kills without the need increase so thanks but no thanks.. Also, bullet trails being in creased in duration.. so much for not giving away your position with each shot, eh? Sometimes it feels like CCP is purposely pushing people away form Dust.




You've been added to the kill list... best of luck.



I'm not firing a pistol at 400m, I'm firing a long range weapon. Bullet drop should have no affect if your head is larger than my sights and I can tell what class of solider you are and what type of suit youre wearing.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Too lazy to click the image, its called a silencer. I'd imagine that these too get more advanced as the technology improves.



Isn't that your shield? It takes energy to stop energy, eventually your on-board energy will deplete.

here is a question Iron Wolf Saber. what suit can live though a head shot from a charge sniper rifle on a proto caldari commando using 3 damage mods and level 5 proficiency on sniper rifles?

caldari / max shield 947 and 636 armor - they can not use any over 3 pg for weapons.
Minnie / max shield 730 and 872 armor - they only have 7 pg left for weapons.
gallente / max shield 488 and 1144 armor - 12 pg left which is enough to use good weapons.
amarr / max shield 523 and 1344 armor - 17 pg left for good weapons.
so who would live? any of them or all?

HERE IS THE ANSWER

they all live 16 armor on the Caldari & Minnie. however with so low pg if they would take off 1 shield or drop it to adv they both die.
gallente lives with 238 armor however takes off both shields and puts on a damage mods equal lives with 62 armor.
amarr lives with 261 armor but takes off the one shield for damage mods equals lives with 121 armor. lol

so your right but how many full shield/armor heavies do you see? most run damage mods and armor repper on even with a logi.

What suit was the cranberry wearing? I'll bet a pretty penny that they were either running militia anything or a scout suit.

I like your explanation justifying the adjustment - the only thing is I don't think the drop suits harden I expect that they detect inward give and the tensile strength if the suit would get taut around that area refusing to budge when a bullet tries to abruptly protrude. It would still "hurt" and probably bruise pretty badly, but wouldn't kill you until the tensile strength of the suit gives out due to repeated bombardment or one super powerful shot. If it was based on sound of the shot, your suit would be hardening every second due to nearby fire. Regardless, we can justfiy the tech in our minds however we need to - which is also why I like the game.. but outside of the 400m limitation on your armor's reaction time - hardening would still register the shot on your shield or suit - whether or not it does damage. Right now, in Dust, it does neither. I might as well have kicked rocks at you.

really/ try it and then talk.

oh by the way Iron Wolf Saber using Fork's charge officer weapon it will kill both the caldari & Minnie. the gall will let as live as long has both complex shields if not... it is DEAD. lol the amarr puts on a damage mod instead of the complex shield extender and it BARELY lives with just 28 armor. lol if it takes 32 shield damage before the headshot it then is dead.
