Twiller Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hoping that I'm not the last one in this forum section... I've tried the ballistic calculator and there are some things I just don't understand: I've noticed that when I increase the weight of the weapon the stabtime will decrease. Wouldn't be the other way round more realistic? I've never fired a real weapon but I think a heavier rifle must be harder to aim with than a lighter one? The other thing is that the weight does not effect the recoil. Please correct me if I'm wrong but provided that all other specs are equal a heavier gun's recoil shouldn't be as much as a lighter one, shouldn't it? Thanks for help!

ApexMods Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yep, there are a couple of things in the ballistic calculator that didn't quite add up for me, either. That's why I ended up calculating all specs for the weapons in Heroes Unleashed "by hand" - meaning that while I used Don Miguel's and Parabellum's maths as a basis, I derived my own formulas and created my own calculations plugged into (humongous!) spreadsheets. It is still a work in progress and (as usual) far from what I would call "perfect", but it seems to work quite fine so far. If I should ever find enough spare time (highly unlikely in the near future!) I'll try and put some more info together in this regard.

Twiller Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well, I'm going this way too. I did a little research about recoil, caliber etc. the last days and now I think I've got the right formulas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
