5 tiers of animals

[dusty coyote]

Trying to keep the 9 class system is causing way more trouble than it's worth, we need a new system whether it's this idea or another doesn't matter in the slightest.

Tier 1, all rabbits and hares, all birds,

Tier 2, muntjac, musk deer, fox, coyote, jackal, bobcat, lynx, raccoon, raccoon dogs,blackbuck, roe deer, springboks, axis, hog deer, javelina, pronghorn, lesser kudu, blacktail deer, feral goats, sika deer

Tier 3, whitetail, fallow, mule deer, feral pigs rusa deer, black bear, mountain lion, wolves, wild boar, mouflon, ibex, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, tahr, blue sheep, barasingha

Tier 4, elk, sambar, gemsbok, wildebeest, red deer, moose, grizzly/brown bear, caribou/reindeer, bison, yak,nilgai, crocodile, banteng

Tier 5, tiger, lion, cape buffalo, water buffalo

problems arrive with rifles like the mosin, class 3-7, so it would have to cover tiers 2-4, except then its ethical for bison, moose, grizzlies, crocodile and banteng which it isnt ethical for atm

I actually think having more classes than we have right now would be better

[dusty coyote]

Gonna do weapons later, I'm not home now to check properly.

Mosin I'd place at tier 2-3 though still useful but not a grizzly rifle in the slightest

Wouldnt crocs be better suited in Tier 5? I've done studies on them before more so on Gators but Salt Crocs are extremely hardy and quite a bit thicker. Even the under belly is thicker in comparison to a gators.

[dusty coyote]

True, but they're much easier to avoid than the other tier 5s would be and they are kind of locked to very specific areas where the others are more free moving

[eternal copper]

I guess balance wise it could work considering they are 8 n 9 atm

I’d go the opposite direction and do more granular animal classes, if you have them at all. Animal classes and a sweeping ballistics rework need to together.

You could do Deer (and probably antelope) classes 1-5:
1: Axis, blacktail, sika
2: whitetail, fallow
3: mule deer
4: red, sambar, elk
5: moose
(Adjust as needed)

Sheep and goats probably only need a small and large class.

You could lump all the predators into a 1-5 scale, with the biggest ones going from 4 to 5 along with their size/level increasing.

Honestly I was figuring 5 tiers to force the weapons to be more versatile, and keeping up with a bunch of smaller groups wold be more difficult

[lucid rover]

But if rabbits and foxes are tier 1 would that mean .243 can be used on both?

[dusty coyote]

I was gonna change taxidermy fees and all that but you got me thinking and it just made more sense to shift the slightly larger animals to Tier 2.

Thanks, I feel like this is more sensible
