Damage multiplication

[calo_mir 10]

It just took ten rounds from the M24 from 800m to kill a russian soldier. Two of those were in the head.

Is there some way to uniformly increase damage from bullets without editing the definition of every single weapon?

Sorry, I think somethings wrong with your copy of the game.

Check if you have 'Extended armor' enabled in difficulty options. To answer the question - decrease body armor of soldier classes :)

Nope.

A couple of friends have similar experiences often. The damage done by rounds seems to tail off massively at distance (read: much more than is reasonable given the caliber and muzzle velocity).

I would guess it's an algorithm issue - the .50 cal weapons never take more than two rounds to kill at pretty much any distance.

Nope, all options are off...

lol@this. not sure if that's one of the... "punishments", though. the big one I think is a heat-wave like effect that gets ever closer and more intense until you cant really see what you're doing.

I don't think it's FADE causing problems.

That'd be three people with legit copies that basically play one game of vanilla Arma 2 once a week that would've somehow all mysteriously managed to trip FADE.

Unlikely.

So there really isn't a damage multiplier?

What would be the most sane way to do this, then? Reduce armor for all units? Increase bullet class damage?
