Weapons!

I would start hurling bricks at people if unrealistic weapon attachments got in the game.

Also the Beretta M38 did pop up in normandy enough to make it game worthy. Maybe as a pick up kit....

Oh yeah, that photo.

And yes, please please please dont make this like BF3. You heard VonMudra

And we take notice of Mudra. He's pretty accurate with the old thrown brick

So how about machine guns that jam after a while? My other post got buried rather quickly

 

[General Naga]

Well on the plus side it's realistic but on the negative side it could get very frustrating if it happened too often and what was happening would have to be effectively communicated to the player who may otherwise think it's a bug. On the whole though I've always loved the idea

EDIT: Or what Naga said

Jamming is a a possibility, its being discussed behind the scenes so time will tell We are definitely interested in implementing it, just not sure if it will make first release.

 

[VonMudra]

Yep, I love the idea of random jams in MG's, SMGs, and semi-autos, but it's a matter of implementation and making sure it doesn't break the game for the player.

Well, For playing Resistance&Liberation, I know that the Semi-Automatic guns with no Rate of Fire *Control*
it just gets a huge spam With people going full-auto.

So, either you guys end this with gun jamming if shooting too fast/long or a time lapse between each shots to avoid it.

It would have to happen pretty irregularly/be relatively easily remedied for people to not rage quit all the time

Could you link me to a video of that? I'd love to see it!

 

[VonMudra]

What do you mean no rate of fire control? In Theory, semi-autos can actually fire faster than most full autos due to their nature. Obviously you'll be limited to how fast you can click the mouse, but don't expect any sort of accuracy from it, since the recoil will be heavy, and you won't have the weight or bipod of a MG to counter the recoil. First shot accurate, 2nd shot high, 3rd shot higher, 4th shot you're an AA gun, as the saying went with the M14 on full auto

On the Beretta M38, I'd much rather see some weapons that were ubiquitous to the Normandy theater prior to it. It is also worth noting that the German military issued more pistols per man than most other armies of the war. Pistols always tend to be overlooked in games, typically only including the Luger and the much more common P38, but it is very important to remember that most of the arms plants they captured were ordered to prioritize pistol manufacture for the German army. The Cz-27 was very common on the battlefields of every theater, fighting alongside its more common counterparts and the FN-22 and Radom both appeared frequently in more 'elite' units.

 

[VonMudra]

Yes, we'll see all the generic german stuff of course. Various pistols will def be in, though I should note that FJ and SS are currently not planned for the first release. Expect to see other pistols once the P38 and Lugar are finished fully, as well as foreign LMGs and rifles that the Germans used in Normandy eventually.

This excites me

 

[TheTurk_007]

It would be really cool if we had an alternative to the K98ZF sniper rifle. The G98 was also used as a sniper in WW2, and Im sure I've seen a G98 on volcol's ModDB page

If you still want to put in disadvantages to attachments, wouldn't an obvious one for a bayonet be the fact that the rifle would be unbalanced and heavier toward the muzzle, causing increased rifle sway?

 

[Maniche]

Quite right, Davies!

Depends on the rifle. Many were actually zeroed with bayonet attached (Mosin Nagant for one), and so were actually more accurate with it attached. Other than that, I've seen several articles where they have tested and busted the idea that that extra weight makes the rifle noticeably less accurate.
