Explosives especily suffer from this as say a 3 meter splash radius, which on paper sounds amazing, is actually so tiny it's borderline useless.
I'm not sure what the issue is here but a change is needed to make both speedy little scouts and explosives more useful.
If you have experiance or just want to comment and want to post do so my fellow dusters!
exsuse my crappy grammar/spelling
I was actually just talking about this with a few new friends of mine this evening as it pertains to sniping. Distances are wrong. They just are. I've hit some kills at what is REALLY over 800m, but the game says 300m or so. I know what these distances look like through a combat optic in real life- DUST isn't doing them due justice. 100% agree. |

A meter is 3.3 feet long, conveniently each floortilemon the warbarge is 3x3 feet or a square yard. Now the splash radius of grenades is 6m, so imagine the explosion reaching about 7 tiles in radius. Never happen right?
There are 2 possibilities to explain this. 1. "m" is not for meters but for some other unit of measure that is unique to the EVE universe. 2. Clones are actually 3 x the size of a regular human, so their feet are a meter in length.
For one... whoa, imagination. WHOA. Say no to shrooms.
Second, well... a meter is not 3.3 feet. It is 3 feet 3 inches... which comes in at exactly 3.25 feet. Believe me, at range, the difference is quite large. Damn... why do I know this? I'm an American. We're only supposed to use the imperial system. O.O. |
