[Weapon idea] Light Howitzer

<< < (2/3) > >>

Cool idea but you mentioned using incendiary over long range, would that not make it  incredibly hard to hit (or easy to dodge) Because of the lowered projectile speed?

That is why I want it to have relatively high base projectile speed (about 500m/s). With Incendiary it is lowered to 350m/s, same as the Light Flak.
Remember this is a mid-range harass weapon, not a sniper range weapon like the Mercury, Lesmok Lumberjack, or Artemis. I'll reword my post - it is misleading when I say long range, I don't mean sniper range (>1.5k).

It shouldn't be as hard to hit as a Heavy Flak, but not as easy as a Merc. I guess it would be similar to the projectile of the Light Flak but with significant shell drop.

P.S. Can't edit my older posts :C

I'll have to plug those numbers into my spreadsheet when I get home to see how it compares to other weapons.

Unless someone beats me to it.

@Midnight: The numbers are approximate and I've already changed them slightly, but I can't edit the main post. With my own spreadsheets I carefully calculated them so it's close to what I hope to achieve.

Hope you enjoy the comparison and the idea. :D

Oh yeah, you're the guy who helped me by pointing out a minor oversight in the equation I was using to calculate DPS!  Thanks again for that!

I still wanna plug those numbers in my spreadsheet, though. ;)
