Was just thinking and surely it can be classed as a bug in those situations where according to you reticule you are not in range to hit anything yet you can still do damage.
Good example of this is the orca machine gun that damages further than the reticule portrays.

That seems strange: due to c4 range, all infantry would hardly ever have red if this was true.

The range at which the reticle turns red (or yellow/green) is determined by the 'EffectiveRange' property (I think of the Primary ammo type), which does NOT necessaraily match the actual range of the primary or secondary ammo types. For example I could set the effective range of the pistol to 300 meters and be able to target anything up to 300 meters, but the reticle would be yellow (or is it green for not in range? Can't remember) until you got within the weapons actual range (again, I think this is determined by the primary ammo type).
On some weapons the range is greater than the effective range, so you can actually shoot and hit them before the targetting box appears.
So, in closing, EffectiveRange is the range at which the targetting box appears, and Range is the range at which you can actually hit them from, and they are not necessaraily the same.

The fact that the orca has a better machine gun than the apache is just bullshit altogether IMO.
|
apache is better than orca tbh except @ long range... but most people don't know to aim wheer apache will be therefore apche can get close to orca and annilate it.
