#Total Ballistics Overhaul

At least what I've noticed is that anyone with irl hunting experience is at least annoyed by the ballistics system in Call of the Wild. Some things work really well and others make absolutely no sense.

Let's take the .300 as our example. More people would choose a .300 for mule deer and black bear than bison and lions. The bolt action shouldn't be locked behind weapon score for people who own the AR version either. (Same for the 7mm and Malmer)

Other than that, the class system is the biggest issue with how the guns work. A lot of us genuinely just want or favorite guns to work. Maybe instead of 9 classes we could do 5. Maybe 6 or even 4.

The game has changed a lot, and the ballistics system was designed for very few weapons to cover a wide range of animals. We have a lot of options so the system needs to change to reflect that now.

I'm sure everyone has their own ideas, but I'm hoping if they see this post the devs will know how much we want a change.

Add anything you think needs attention below

While I'm thinking of it, it'd be fantastic if the devs could
A: remove the rail from the Caversham 12ga over/under shotguns
B: Make bird shot the first shotgun ammo you get instead of buckshot, so that new players have something to use on the rabbits and birds until they unlock more

Okay seriously.

My save reset AGAIN.

I don't mind playing the game but I'm getting really annoyed by some things. Particularly the fact that despite owning the power pack which u locks the break action .338 and it's ammo. The basic 7mm is still locked despite the empress and polymer tip ammo being unlocked.

The same thing with the .300 Canning Magnum. I have the .300 AR and the ammo is unlocked, but the bolt action .300 is still locked.

WHY

I've lost my save 4 times this year, 3 in the last two weeks.

The power pack unlocked the poly tipped ammo for .338 and 7mm, it also unlocked the .338 range master. But it did not unlock the 7mm Regent.

The AR .300 unlocked the poly tipped ammo but not the bolt action.

If I had chosen to reset my account then fine, but constantly having to grind to unlock my gear because of a bug is pis*ing me off. Every reset I have to unlock all the ammo, scopes, and callers that I had before.

It's not a fun to grind geese for hours to get a scope so I can hunt with slugs. It's not fun to grind crocs for hours getting inconsistent weapon score trying to unlock the .300 bolt action I've had from yukon's release

So, looks like the 300 blackout might just be coming to the game. Great, more useless inventory clutter and "rebalancing" that makes othe calibers useless

Bump, we need changes in a bad way

At this point I've pretty much accepted woth to be the better hunting game anymore. Cotw was great but EW kept taking it in so many different directions. I still play now and then but I can't understand why they don't listen to the community but then say that they do. Big bore bolt actions have been asked for since vurhonga and we still do not have one. To those reading this, for the most part anything smaller than a .375 or 9.3x62 is illegal for dangerous African game and no guide will let you take cape buffalo with a 300 win mag. I'm done debating that. After seeing the poll results it makes me sad to see that players want more ar-15s even though we have too many already, and in useless cartridges that will be more powerful than what they should be.

Totally agree, but WotH is not a fun game for me. I play to relax, not manage DNA. If the next weapon pack brings another AR, I just won't be buying it, if the update isn't fixing the god awful ballistics system then there's no point in playing for me, I've been an avid player for five years and every update this game becomes more and more focused on grinding instead of actually hunting.

If the update this time doesn't fix things then I'm going to have a long wait til Ultimate Hunting comes out

Plenty of large cartridges are very likely “ethical” to use on large/dangerous game even if they’re not legal in Africa. People kill bison with .300 Win Mag (and smaller cartridges) all the time. The reasons we don’t do that to Cape Buffalo are tradition, average hunting distance, aggression of the animal, and legality. African countries want animals DRT so rich hunters don’t die and keep coming back.
