TonyE -> RE: Gunnery (11/27/2007 6:12:42 AM)

Had some help from Akula and CV32 on IRC tonight so I wrote some code resulting in a new beta build for the testers. The following should give you a bit of the flavor...
HCE - 2007.027
==============
- Chg:0000 GE Anti-Surface Guns now adhere to mount rate of fire limitations,
only after the initial allocation, player can cheat on initial
allocation.
AS Guns will fire the correct ammunition now, and will not
'dump ammo overboard'. Previously guns were firing one burst
per 15 seconds and throwing any other bursts overboard.
AS Guns by the AI will fire 2 x target remaining DP of bursts
at the target, this helps reduce overkill/ammo wastage.
AS Guns will stop firing when the firing platform is out of
range of the target platform, previously any bombardment in
progress would keep going even if out of range.
- Chg:0000 GE In CheckMissileHits, show ECM reduction and such for misses
as well.
- Nfo:0000 GE The period over which ROF bursts will happen is 60 seconds,
this contradicts some of the code comments which suggest 30
seconds. Will be doing further research.
- Nfo:0000 GE The decision was made (Akula,CV32,TonyE) not to change the
Impact vs Airburst criterion. They are...
If the burst will impart more than 1/8 the total DP of the
target, the shell is considered impact, if less than 1/8
the shell is considered Airburst. This is why destroying
an airbase in the game with guns just doesn't happen.
We'll look at this again when we can change data structures
to suit a potentially better model.
- Nfo:0000 GE Guns impact/airburst radio buttons should not even show since
user selection has no effect on how the damage is applied.
