Figures for the round with the worst dispersion out of all rounds (TP-T, PMC355)
Naturally they didnt reopen the report after I reported the response, so I made a new report, with a Rheinmetall publication disproving what is literally his own fairytale-type theory (that is based on nothing)…
Rheinmetall quite literally says that the guaranteed accuracy is 0.6mrad (i.e. max. dispersion <= 0.6mrad, which corresponds to the 0.6mil figure presented for the TP-T round, which has the highest max dispersion out of all available rounds) and that the typical dispersion is 0.2mrad ± 1 sigma - which directly contradicts the theory of the bug-reporting manager that the typical dispersion (1 sigma) is 0.5mil.
And then we have the “doesnt specify what is meant by accuracy” part, which is laughable as an excuse because the source quite literally leaves no room for interpretation as the exact quote is:
The guaranteed accuracy of the weapon is 0.6 mrad in single rounds, typical values are 0.2 mrad±1σ
“guaranteed accuracy of the weapon is 0.6mrad” and “typical values are 0.2 mrad±1σ”
It is quite literally in the same sentence… The dispersion that the manufacturer guarantees and the dispersion that is typical, or in even simpler words:
“Single rounds are guaranteed to be within 0.6mrad”
“Typically, they’re within 0.2mrad±1σ” (1 sigma, so ~68.27% of shells will meet said figure)
This is more than sufficient to disprove the response that I received on the initial report, where the bug-reporting manager assumed (rules for thee but not for me aah moment) that the “<= 0.5mil” figure could be typical dispersion (based on quite literally nothing btw) - as it directly and with 0 room for interpretation, says the typical dispersion is 0.2mrad (at the same ±1 sigma figure the bug-reporting manager referred to).
And again, 0.6mrad as figure is listed here because that is in-fact the maximum dispersion that is listed for the weapon as a whole when considering all available ammunition-types.
APFSDS-T (PMC287) and ABM/KETF (PMC308) have a lower figure of <=0.5mil, however the target-practice round (not TPDS) has a higher (the highest of all) figure of <=0.6mil, which matches the 0.6mrad figure.
There is absolutely no need or justification for the term “accuracy” to be further defined if the typical dispersion values at standard deviation are already given and pretty much perfectly match the “<= 0.5mil” and “<= 0.6mil” maximum dispersion figures presented otherwise.
@Smin1080p_WT sorry for pinging you but maybe you have a better explaination as to why “Dispersion <= 0.5mil” and, “guaranteed accuracy 0.6mrad” and, “typical values are 0.2mrad±1σ” somehow insufficient as figures for dispersion that is modelled solely in accordance to standard deviation and maximum deviation angles - especially as both are listed explicity in Rheinmetall publications.
I cant ask the bug-reporting managers directly either because they keep closing the comments on the report.
May I ask which one specifically?
Or are they all direct responses from the developers?
I find it very odd that a figure presented as “guaranteed” and a second one presented as "typical (i.e. in accordance to standard deviation that the game models anyway) to be seen as insufficient evidence to prove that “<=0.5mil” is in fact not referring to a ±1σ figure.
Since the second report aims to show that the assumption that was made in the response you linked was in-fact not correct and that the <=0.5mil figures do not refer to the typical dispersion.
This is a problem entirely due to the state of the maps and helicopter spawns; it has nothing to do with the SPAAs. You can see that on maps with cover like mountains, this isn’t a problem, on the other hand, SPAAs have the same problem due to bad maps. On many maps, it’s impossible to use an SPAA properly because the spawn is so flat that enemy tanks can hit your radar or launchers from across the map before a plane or heli even shows up.
And what about the PARS, Spike, AGM-179, and Brimstone missiles? Is there any news too regarding the rework of the LDIRCM system against SPAAs and other heat-seeking missiles?
The thing is, Germany gets a lot of stuff, but most of it is irrelevant. Why do you think nobody ever talks about the Jaguar 2, for example? Sure, there are good things like the IRIS-T, but until recently, Germany only had the EC-665 Tiger UHT and Leopards (That their versions are also superior in Sweden). PARS 3 missiles were already complete trash before, and now they’re even worse compared to the new FnF missiles, especially those broken LMURs and there’s only a 0.3 BR difference of LDIRCM with canons while EC 665 Tiger don’t have any of this, even though one can hover at 10km while the other has to run from every radar ping. Meanwhile, the US has always had CAS at every single level. You guys are complaining with a full belly—I’ve even seen people complain about the A-10. The hypocrisy is unreal.
And don’t even try to tell me the Eurofighter (AESA) was a good addition. It’s basically a blatant copy-paste that could have just been a modification/upgrade. Even though the FnF bombs and the AESA radar seem very good, it doesn’t justify forcing players to grind everything all over again for the exact same plane.
Let’s be fair: Gaijin has issues with every nation, but the ones I mentioned have been worse for Germany. The US tree is much more complete and versatile compared to Germany.
The IRIS-T is in a weird spot right now. It’s just impossible to balance because vs non-LDIRCM it’s just blatantly overpowered, you are just dead. But vs LDIRCM it’s almost entirely helpless. Despite my username, a 70 sp vehicle prolly shouldn’t be instakilling a 700 sp one, and so I have absolutely 0 clue how to properly balance LDIRCM helis. I’d say to start by removing the fnf weapons honestly.
Gajin generally needs to rework the current SP cost regarding SPAA and CAS. All 12.7 SPAA costing the same makes as litttlke sense as the current spawn costs for CAS (seriously, my 10 PARS Tiger is 664, my 8 SPICE 12 Brimstone EFT is 860 and my 4 Maverick F18 is 900, make it make sense).
The good SPAA like the IRIS T needs to go to 13.0 and get an SP bump and CAS needs a much more in depth SP calculation where each weapon gets a value instead of the more general approach we have now. (for example if JAGM is the baseline with 1 the PARS could be 0.8 and LMUR 1.5 and so on.) With the current top tier compression we absolutely need another balancing factor besides BR
