Mabes 0 Posted April 15, 2007 What's up with the HUGE recoil from the Mk-19 in the game, it moves the HMMWV like 5 meters backwards when you're firing it and can move the Stryker IFV a few meters back as well. Thats not realistic at all and it defiantly needs to be fixed. Watch this video here: You'll notice that the HMMWV doesn't move AT ALL, and the soldier firing it barely moves as well...

cozza 24 Posted April 15, 2007 yeh I noticed that to. So when I make mission I neva use any viechle with a grenade luancher. But there probly something in da config that can change the recoil. I'm just to lazy to search Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted April 15, 2007 Apparently its cyclic rate is much higher according to the video aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-CS-SOBR-1st-I-R- 0 Posted April 15, 2007 Glad you found this out, but its only one of many issues that are not realistic in ArmA. In fact ArmA has many wrong and not far enough developed things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted April 15, 2007 Yeah, I fixed my Mk19's cyclic rates to be realistic, and you end up getting knocked over Strykers and HMMMWVs, which shits me but good. Anyone who finds a way to remove or at least reduce the recoil, could they please drop me a PM? The only solution I can think of at the moment is turning the Mk19 into an MG class, but that's crap.

Mabes 0 Posted April 15, 2007 Another thing I noticed is that theres WAY to much smoke from both the Mk-19 and the AGS-30 when they're firing, and it literally blinds you after a few shots, leaving that weapon combat ineffective. Also, since we are talking about the HMMWV, where the hell are the armored turrets, even the US Air Force's HMMWVs have those armored turrets. But maybe I'll just have to wait for addons...

Big Dawg KS 6 Posted April 15, 2007 I'm fairly certain the recoil is hardcoded (because of the simulation used for the weapon & ammo), so nothing can be done about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted April 15, 2007 Ohhh ohhh, as soon as Dslyecxi eats their bread, he singing their song. Next time I bitch to my car dealer about the shitty car he sold to me, I might be faced by the reply I should handcraft such a car at home by myself before I have the right to moan. This issue is there since OFP, same here in ArmA maybe. In OFP WGL used as workaround to simulate nades as bullets to come around the hard coded recoil. In ArmA there is the same issue and DVD solved this already for the Striker, ask him how he did it. So far to the age of this issue. Since there is a workaround, this problem seems not so urgent, but imagin the workload to do this to every vehicles with a nade launcher attached? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second 0 Posted April 16, 2007 ... One idea... If there would be bus/rock/tank/building/invisible object created behind hummer/Stryker/UAZ so that recoil wouldn't hop vehicle backwards... No that ain't good, as expacely UAZ get damage if it's hits object. And if men start to disembark from Stryker's cargospace and Stryker starts to fire Mk-40 -> Lots of spaghett&ketchup-effects Well it was good idea at start, but didn't last for long. Has anybody experince of setvelocity? I've used it to make created artyshells fall in 45 dergees, so could it be used to counter AGLs recoil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StryDa 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Yeh it's stupid. Your Humvee etc back hops like a bmx and as soon as a few shots of fired the recoil has thrown you of a target.

Yea, my fault, nobody is reading my post til the end. So once more, a workaround exists, my new friend Dslyecxi should maybe use the power of his employer as a customer of BIS/BIA to get this thing solved after 5 years. Once more, all current and future wheeled (tracked too?) might be affected if it is the same issue in ArmA as in OFP. If it can be solved with a simple config tweak (e.g. recoil delay/strength as for bullets) this issue can be seen as minor. If this is still not possible to influence this it can be seen as major issue. Maybe the reason why it is not fixed is that there are so many things to solve that BI did not found the time until now. But it is addressed at least two times in mantis and hence it will not be forgotten. http://bugs.armed-assault.net/view.php?id=2025 http://bugs.armed-assault.net/view.php?id=1827 If this bug is really an issue for you, you can vote it to show BI that you want to get it fixed with a higher priority. The devs of Bohemia MIGHT follow this, of course they would not drop all other work for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DVD 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Its easy to change the recoil. Change the simulation in the cfgammo from "shotshell" to "shotBullet", for "G_30mm_HE" & "G_40mm_HE". Reduce the V0 and max speed and you get a good result like this. * ^^ Klick on the image* Of course now, you will need a second class "G_30mm_HE" & "G_40mm_HE" for the rifle grenade (with the old values), otherwise the M203 and GP25 would shot like a bullet.

INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Ahhhh, some words from the master Is it then the same issue as in OFP that those "BULLETNADES" are not reaching their target if fired with high angle because bullets are erased after a certain fixed lifetime? That would hinder from using grenade launchers as kind of arty with indirect fire from far distance. In OFP those nades could not fly further then 200-300m because of their low speed. What we should reach is: http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl21-e.htm http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl20-e.htm http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl19-e.htm http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl23-e.htm http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl24-e.htm at least 1500m, for inaccurate fire 2200m.

Panko-31stMEU- 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Yes the MK19 does need to be as my astute colleague, Sgt. Mabes, pointed out in his original starting thread. The term "fog of war" comes to mind from the 19th century and before that time where the white smoke created by the black gun powder used would create everyone being caught in a real fog of gun powder. White smoke? I think not with a Mk19. This new thing called "smokeless gunpowder" was created a long time ago to stop this. Let's please have this fixed so we can use the weapon after more than one round of accurate fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You missed the part in my original post where I more or less said that it was a known issue and was likely to be addressed when possible. Prioritization happens, and you cannot expect a small team to fix every single bug at the same time. Please stop bringing up my job at every possible opportunity. That's what, the third or fourth time in as many posts from you to me where you've mentioned it? I've been involved with ArmA for much longer than I've been working here on VBS2 stuff, and the two only vaguely mix. You assume a great deal with absolutely no actual foundation of knowledge in this area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
