Moderators Volcano Posted October 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2019 35 minutes ago, Assassin 7 said: And another thing taking inconsideration of how light the Turret is. When the ammunition is ignited would the Turret pop off? If not why? Why? Well, I guess since we are on trial here...  First of all, whether the turret pops off is purely cosmetic. The explosion kills the vehicle. Rivet counting.  Secondly, we put thought into these things. We didn't think it was likely to pop off, because in most cases, in our experience, the heavier the turret is, then the more resistance to overpressure, and the turret is launched into the air rather than the turret being ruptured, or the explosion coming out the turret ring. In the case of the T-14, it would likely be too light, kind of like self propelled howitzers, to the point that the turret would just likely be ruptured (and there is a large maintenance hatch on top that would vent the explosion too). But I think some of this was explained previously.  But I guess one day if we see a photo of a T-14 with the turret blown off, then we will change it.  As for the M829A4, look: did I not say that it bypasses ERA (at least based on claims)? And in regards to the M829A3, this is not the same thing. The M829A4 is apparently tandem-like effects, to apparently make the ERA irrelevant, but the exact details about this are unknown, while the M829A3 is more traditional. There are details here on how it works, then there are specifics about the type of ERA (K1, K5, Relikt, etc), so please - the broad statements are not helpful.  Anything else we want to bash on this rampage? 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven434th Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) well turrets pop are in sb because turrets pop off in real life due to ammo cook off...thats why you put it there Edited October 29, 2019 by Raven434th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know the probability, and in most cases we are using our best judgement whether it even should or not. Subjective.  In any case, I refer to to this, since you obviously didn't read it:  14 minutes ago, Volcano said: Secondly, we put thought into these things.

Raven434th Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 I never said an armata turret would pop...I said it for the reason the T-72 pops when getting hit in the ammo storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK-DDAM Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 so when tanks explode that neccesserily doesnt mean that the turret will blow off... also its down to how the design of the vehicle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven434th Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) agreed...but when we see a turret pop in sb its purpose is to emulate a ammo storage hit which is a known flaw of the T-72 chassis...and other T tanks I believe.

Members Ssnake Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 My take on the M829A3 vs M829A4 is that the new features that make the A4 model interesting are going to require some programmer involvement. For the cases discussed here - M829A3 in a flank shot situation, the A3 has so much power overmatch that you'd never notice a difference outside of a quantitative statistical analysis with a large sample size. I'd rather hold off with the introduction of the A4 because, right now, you wouldn't see much of a performance difference. It'd feel like fixing imagined bugs with placebos.

ssidiver Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) It seems to me that eSim has said they would look into this and in return they have been badgered. I think some on both sides are are getting rather worked up about this.  I have every confidence that eSim will do what they can to achieve a realistic outcome, within the bounds of their modelling. Meanwhile they are not attending to other business, because of the amount of their time this thread is using.  Just my opinion  Edited October 29, 2019 by ssidiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewood Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Badgered is not a strong enough word for this topic. If this is how you treat devs who go to the effort of putting in a a good piece of content, I hate to imagine how you treat devs of games you don't like. And I don't want to hear, "we're tough because we love". There are much more useful ways to provide feedback. This whole topic disgusts me.  And I'll come back to my original comment. If I were the devs, I'd just pull the Armata out until they decide what to do with it. I would be fairly disillusioned.

Maj.Hans Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Just curious here but how often is the T-14 being rendered "Combat Useless" by taking hits to the turret that cause no obvious external signs of blazing flaming death, yet still stop the vehicle from firing it's main gun? Â Perhaps in the future the AI is going to have to learn to deal with the T-14 by concluding "I've nailed it solidly in the turret three times and it is not engaging me...Next target!" ?

DK-DDAM Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) well if a proper gunner and here i talk "HUMAN" Gunner.. he would shoot 1 time at 1 target then go to the next target.. and then continue till he has hit each target once, then after that he starts going back again. to hit them again... so basicly u open and close the book like this continuesly.

Yes, basic drills, but they seem hard to implement in SB. After all, it is "simple" scripted behaviour and not "AI".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 30, 2019 Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 It's a bit more than simple scripting (air quotes or not). Steel Beasts is about as complex as a state machine can get before becoming unserviceable. Downside: Limited creativity. Upside: Predictable behavior.  Often enough in training, you don't want the computer-controlled units to be too creative and rather err on the side of predictability.
