To me, PUBG is the perfect iteration of the genre.

he said without the jankiness.

PUBG is basically jank-free compared to ARMA, especially ARMA II. A lot of the "jankiness" in PUBG is essentially on purpose. Things like different turning times based on weapons and acceleration/deceleration on movement is inspired by ARMA and intended to be pseudorealistic, but when you come from games like CS:GO and others, where you can change direction mid-air and turn on a penny in a heartbeat, it feels like jank.

This game feels like it punishes you for shooting people center mass with assault rifles. A dude should not be able to take 5 AKM shots to the bod and not get at least knocked down.

So if ranks are reset and it is unranked for 24 hours does that mean no ranked matchmaking for the day? I would really like to play some matches with people who are much worse than me.

I'm just saying, it's a conscious decision to not reflect reality, perhaps because the gameplay works better if it takes a few body shots to kill you dead :shrug:

in real life you aim for center mass so it is kinda dumb. it's why hardcore is the only mode to play in the cod games.

Is no one going to mention that you don't even live through 5 AKM body shots? Unless those shots had such great intervals between them that the dude's energy could tick twice while he was also wearing a level 3 vest, there's no way he lived through five. Either way, get gooder

Hate to say it but you probably shot the guy in the arms once or twice. Unless they have a level 3 vest, the AK kills with 3 body shots. Probably not your fault, the netcode is really not good and the servers have a really low tick rate.

When people are running or aiming and you just go for center mass you're probably going to hit arms and legs a few times.

People are already scared to move most of the time. If the game was like RO in terms of damage it would be the absolute worst. I like the weapon balance, though SMGs are a little meh. Shotguns are the light.

Can't get no luck.

There's always a balance between realism and making a fun game.

In reality if you get shot in the toe or hand with a pistol from 100m away then it's probably game over but that wouldn't make for a very fun game.

Conversely, aim for the dick, they'll take body damage as if they have no vest and will die pretty quickly.

If you stay scoped on your sniper you can see the bullet tracer/drop. Guess you have to click and hold for that to happen.

to be more clear: with single shot rifles like the kar98 if you don't let go and let the reload animation happen it stays zoomed in so you can watch the bullet path and walk in your shots

If you hold left click while shooting a gun that needs to load the next shot(kar98, m24, awm) which takes your view off the person your shooting, it will delay that as long as the mouse is held down so you can see where the shot is landing. It's useful when shooting far.

Yeah, though I'd really like that on my mousewheel. Estimating the distances is pretty hard, it'd be nice if the scope body markers were the right widths. I'd kinda rather use the scope lines than move my hand over to pgup/pgdn as is.

Some vehicles have a fifth seat and it's also missing q/e as left/right motorcycle air control in addition to forward/back.

EDIT: I assumed you made this but I don't know why, this was supposed to be genuine feedback not a nitpick of some image you found.
