MK19 Recoile

[frederf 0]

You should have posted it in A&M: complete to get more feedback.

But it's an excellent add-on though it only fixes the mk19 issue for stryker (not humwee and ags-30 issues).

That's a nice addition and i'm currently using it, i especially like the new gunner's view.

The addon was really a learning or template piece for future fixes and addons in how to fix the MK19. In this example I used the Stryker really only as a convient platform to display the new MK19 method.

I would happily do the same fix for all MK19 carrying vehicles in the game.

I think it's standard procedure to sandbag the front leg of the tripod of the mk19.. at least this is what futureweapons would have me believe.  It looks like grenade machineguns in general are fairly instable weapons and require more weight or very sturdy mount.

All tripod mounted weapons require that at times - depending

on the state of the ground. We commonly used to do it for

the GPMG. If the tripod moved then our carefully recorded

targets would no longer be "on" - I doubt that such accuracy

is required from a belt-fed grenade launcher, though. They

pack some impressive-looking firepower.

The MK19 MOD3 manual does suggest sandbagging the tripod. With such a high arc the thing can get kind of bouncy which makes accuracy (especially the repeatable kind) more difficult.

Anyway, I had a realization or two and have condensed this into a "No MK19/AGS-30 recoil pack" that functions as a replacement. This means you put the mod in the folder and use the standard units. I only changed the recoil, nothing else (RoF, AI behavior, tracer color, magazine reload time, etc).
