Reload speed: Wilson's Notes vs. Real time

(1/3) > >>

Aluminum Pidgeon:
I've noticed something that I find quite strange, and I have no answer to it. Maybe a developer does.

While looking into Wilson's Notes, I've noticed the reload speed for the Harpoon Gun is 0.25, and the real time it takes to reload is 4 seconds, which led me to believe the value means 0.25 bullets per second.

But the tricky thing is, if you look at the Light Carronade's Reload Speed, 0.17, and the real time, 6 seconds, it makes no sense!

That also happens with the Flare Gun, where the Reload speed is 0.05 and the real time is 20 seconds. Shouldn't it be 0.10, considering it takes 20 seconds to reload 2 bullets?

Help me understanding this, if you can.  8)

Dunno but if u take this link (http://gunsoficarus.com/gameplay/weapons/) as a base the numbers seem quite realistic.

It's not bullets/sec, it's mags/sec.

Yeah, I've looked there for answers too.

Also not that. On the carronade, for example, the reload speed for mags/sec is 0.83(...) mag/sec, instead of the 0.17 they show.

You said that the carronade took 6 seconds to reload and the reload speed if 0.17.
Okay, let's do some math.
Reloading 1 full clip (or whatever you want to call it) takes 6 seconds.
1/6 just happens to be 0.16666667 which is rounded to 0.17. That is why the reload -time- is 6 seconds, but the reload speed is 0.17
So, in this case (and all other cases) speed =/= time.

The Gatling for an other example has a reload speed of 0.2 and a reload time of 5 seconds. 1/5 = 0.2

Conclusion: Reload speed is Reloads/sec, on the carronade you reload 17% of the clip in 1 sec, on the gatling 20% in 1 sec and so on.

Understand now?
