What difference does it make?
The difference is that the guns power for a mere .17 cal bullet can drop animals that big rifles can do.
When it was calculated it was incorrect. I found this out when hunting the fox comp only allowed to carry one weapon and on WRR a Polar Bear Charged and I dropped it in its tracks, I could have shot in the air
but I was thinking,.. do you feel lucky,.. you know like Clint Eastwood style................
I then started testing other animals and dropping them from 150 meters away,.. the only animal I had a slight problem with was a Bison Charging, their head is quite tough,
but from a side shot 2 bullets can take it down. I then carried it with me to other reserves and really sampled its power,..
make no mistake it is now a formidable rifle for such small bullet size.
The end result is they shortcut the technical aspects because of the harvest value and raised the power balance instead to compensate in killing foxes, coyotes, & bobcats.
Now you may say well what does it matter because those bigger animals that it can kill are not on the allowed list?
But would you use a 50 BMG to sink a battle ship if it had the power, which it would never happen.
Well why should it happen in the game for something that is supposed to not be capable of doing that?
This is the exact reason why the game gets problems when they are not corrected to specifics (bullet damage) that the by products are meant to use (animals with their kill ratios).
Their response was they couldn't get 100% harvest value.
Well it's time to get it so it works correctly with everything else.
If not just make every gun able to kill everything than just still keep the same allow list on them.
Where would the game balance go from there?
When the time comes when problems can't get solved it is when the game goes on just enough to keep it running.
Is this what everyone wants to keep supporting a game only kept up in this manner to just good enough, or have it working at optimum performance with everything working like
it was intended to? I remember those days when the game worked great, 2013, 2014, 2015. The only problem that was big then was playing a continued hunt.....which was the only problem.
This game already has poor optimization for Textures, it could run a hell of a lot faster if they fixed that 1 thing.
1 thing at a time,.. but please do them right and get them done.
