Light Armor (vehicle) damage dropoff

[errant grove]

right now the light armor damage (vehicle damage) does not have a dropoff on all infantry weapons
this essentially means you do the exact same damage to a vehicle from 10 meters as you would from 1km, which is some bullshit
so essentially mirror the dropoff the gun's regular damage stat has but with vehicle damage

[west kestrel]

Not only on infantry weapons, but on all weapons in general. And on boat miniguns and on BH miniguns and on LB miniguns. Cars with machine guns also do not have damage reduction

[errant grove]

@wintry cosmos why not

[wintry cosmos]

Transportation is already super easy to take out, why make it easier?

[errant grove]

thats... not what this thread is about

[wintry cosmos]

Okay. Explain it to me like I’m 5

[errant grove]

what it currently looks like

what it should be

[west kestrel]

Slazenger tread vibe

[wintry cosmos]

Are you speaking about vehicles taking damage or giving damage?

[errant grove]

taking damage

well

that question is worded weirdly

[wintry cosmos]

Oh…sorry. I misread. I’ll take my L and be on my way

[errant grove]

im essentially asking for a nerf to inflicted vehicle damage from weapons (guns from infantry, vehicles)

in the form of a damage dropoff

similar to how every weapon in the game has a damage dropoff against infantry

[wintry cosmos]

No that was my fault, I misread it. You right, you right. It’s some bullshit

[errant grove]

all good 👍

[livid sleet]

lets have the little damage that can be done be even less beyond 80 meters, such a great buff given to vehicles and Helicopters.

[errant grove]

@gray viper why vote no if I may ask

wanna know how to improve the suggestion

[old crest]

He downotes literally everything. He's a troll

He's too stupid to give a reasoning too

[errant grove]

I’ve seen him upvote a couple

[old crest]

I have seen him downwote few dozens if not more

[gray viper]

I'm flattered you pay that much attention most ideas thrown out are half baked or I dont agree with. Some times its worth commenting, and for others its topics like "give the medic meth stim shots". Light armor damage right now is such a small value adding damage fall off would very quickly make them do 0 damage.

I am totally ok with light armor damage being maintained at distance.

[errant grove]

Thank you for explaining 👍

And yes I agree that l. Armor damage is essentially a worthless stat right now but as a helicopter main i find it to be ridiculous that an lmg can cross-map me doing the same damage that they could right underneath me while being across the map, completely out of harms way

[gray viper]

For sure. Your suggestion is realistically more in line with the rest of the game, and actually the game needs more damage reduction in general. I just don't like combat vehicles

[errant grove]

Fair, vehicles aren’t for everyone

[gray viper]

"Helicopter main" ah my natural enemy.

[lime cliff]

I voted X because I think the damage is already low. I like the logic behind drop-off, I think light armor damage getting buffed with the drop-off could work out.

[errant grove]

xd I have fun with it, I sometimes play infantry

[gray viper]

No fun! Only suffering and making number go up . Thats fair, my less flippant response is due to the state of repair efficiency and anti air options. Reducing the aa tools that we have doesn't sound super enticing

There is such a small middle ground between unkillable fortress with 4 engineers or a tin can that explodes to 5 augs firing at it, the fall off further pushes it to flying death.

[errant grove]

Armed littlebird (the one I main) is technically the easiest one to shoot out of the sky due to the lack of repairing anywhere outside of spawn repair boxes but there is definitely a noticeable lack of AA weapons in the game currently

[gray viper]

It is difficult enough to kill a good pilot who can break los, the hail mary bullets from 400 meters feels like the only chance.

[old crest]

Darth Jiggles engages in discussion under feedback post

[gray viper]

Its not a healthy state for the pilot or the shooters as it stands, but I dont have a better recommendation currently for the anti air situation.

[old crest]

I can die now in peace

I want to see that more often

[errant grove]

just gotta not call him a troll and genuinely ask why he voted

[gray viper]

You need to step up your creepy discord stalking if this is surprising to you

[old crest]

I mean, there was a lot of signs to think he's a troll

[old crest]

I am spending here too much time alredy man

[storm raven]

i'm pretty sure there already is drop off for the light damage
otherwise i have no clue how my rsh does 1 or 2 l-damage at range...

[errant grove]

Certainly doesn’t feel like it

[storm raven]

wait lemme check...

there sure as heck must be some form of fall off for this dmg
a 30dmg gun wouldn't do 1dmg otherwise lol

[west kestrel]

I tested the p90 and Deagle at a distance of 400 meters. They deal exactly the same damage as close

[west kestrel]

Did you shoot at the BH?

[storm raven]

bh, lb ye

[old crest]

What's shown on scree is not dmg value, but % value. It can't get below 1, so even if you deal 1 out of 1100 hp you will see 1

[storm raven]

oh god wtf is this gui 💀

mb then

[west kestrel]

Try testing it with a repair tool and see how much HP remains. That's exactly what I did. There was no difference with distance

[old crest]

It works, honestly

It mostly matter for AT and vehicles vs vehicles purposes
