Well, here goes a fairly detailed and long post because well, hoping for more weapons is semi fantasy land but fun to dream.MP5: Range lowered to 25 single and 20 burst, it is an smg and hitting things at a fair distance consistently is highly unlikely also switched to small guns 1 because well...it isn't all that great.M82: Ahh the beautiful weapon, what the Bozar was supposed to be I believe, I would alter it to have a modified scoped perk where the negative modifier starts happening at a higher distance due to the sheer weight and size of the weapon causing difficulties, the penetrating power is already nicely covered by the ammo. This would also allow the Bozar to be moved from being a special encounter weapon to being expensively craftable or a lvl 24 time consuming quest item.Also i think player should only walk with it due to weight and lengthBrowning: I would increase it's range by 10 but also increase weapon spread where only 1-2 will hit at max range. Walking only (we actually want to see it used in combat once in awhile and it being a fixed position only would see it only used for building entrance camping or nothing at all)1911: Range decrease to 20, regardless of your description of accurate I will not be convinced it can shoot accurately at 25, the damage needs to be increased (the 16-25 of the vector actually seems like a good number for it) Basically a tier under the .223 pistolM79: I agree that it should be switched to the M203, I don't see that weapon being used with those stats in all honesty unless blast radius is increased by 1-2 hexes above the rocket launcher, Also if possible I would add in an ammo that could illuminate (make visible) a few squares for a minute or two using the ground marker round for those that can almost see the area normally in their visionM14: I would argue it's ammo should actually be .308 for realities sake as it was an old rifle that was replaced, some are shipped to allies, a few kept for ceremonial purposes but most are sold to companies who re-chamber it to a civilian round. The .308 is so very similar and has hunting power that it would be the obvious choice. Damage also increase to 15-25 (Nice middle ground making it between the hunting rifle and the sniper rifle)M249: No opinion reallyVector: Lower range as it is once again an SMG, lower action point cost by 1, even if it uses the 45 it has a fantastic anti-recoil design.Now the way I see it, most of this is fairly balanced out (M82 is probably OP but would be exceptionally rare) and more accurate to real life.You also get +1 internets for making a very detailed suggestion unlike most of the crap shoveled in here.
The 10mm SMG is pretty much the Fallout version of a MP5. I think the Uzi would go much better. Bozar = Anti-materie*l Rifle. The M249 uses 7.62, right? or maybe 5,56? (sorry I am not a big gun nut) But my point is, the M60 and LSW are already there...And why add AK-47 when we already have AK-112? I know the AK-47 pic looks cooler, but still.* * *Anyway, if it's about adding new weapons, I think it'd be nice to not only include new kinds of weapons (for example a grenade launcher), but also more variety for, say, the already existing ammo calibers, and different upgraded versions of already existing weapons, etc.Some thoughts:-A .45 pistol, with pretty much the same stats as the Grease Gun, but you can't burst with it (already mentioned Colt .45)-Some sort of AK-112U, basically a 5mm SMG (check out the graphics in this NMA thread)-Assault Rifle, Kobra-sighted. Adds the perk Scoped, or Accurate, to the weapon.-Modified Turret Gun (yeah would need a pic). Simply an inferior minigun, with less bullets per burst (less damage). I thought it could be crafted by the player using wood, metal, junk and a "salvaged turret gun item" you can loot from some turrets and buy at the NCR robed guy surrounded by junk, and similar NPCs (to make it easier for low level characters to get it - new noob BG weapon).I think adding new end-game weapons is ok but adding weaker noob weapons would be interesting too because, if NPCs use them, it would be easier for low level characters to defeat enemy NPCs instead of running away from raiders and sticking to rats and shit. In Fallout Tactics you were given a MP5 and being still level 1 you could go against enemy raiders because they were using weaker weapons.
Adding weapons that got more dmg than m60 in BG type, is just stupid, because of the game mechanics, simply, weapon which fires with the best damage, and same bullets or bi number of bullets with biggest amount of damage in it's class will be most used (that's why people use m60 and avenger, not lsw and improved flamer).
I always tought there was a problem about adding weapons to the Fallout world. Every Fallout game has its own weapons and they are usually not entirely coherent with the other games.Starting with the very items names, ffs, "Assault Rifle" was an ok name when there was only one assault rifle in the game, but imo if you're adding a "FN FAL", I'd change the "Assault Rifle" to "AK-112". I would personally suggest some weapons to be renamed, like the AR example.Fallout 1 started with a set of weapons which was very limited and almost completely fictional. Then already in Fallout 2, some real or semi-fictional weapons were added. Mixing real firearms with fictional ones feels kinda weird, at least that's what I thought while playing FO2. So now if I had the AK-112 and the AK-47 in the same game, that'd feel really weird, not because there would be two AK's but because the Assault Rifle, while being an AK according to the description, looks different, so it seems that developers originally tought about "AK's" being something different in the Fallout world. That is why mixing real with fictional weapons is imho weird here. Especially if you're gonna have the real world weapon and its fictional counterpart (MP5 - 10mm SMG, for example).I am not saying no new weapons should be added. There are a lot of weapons in TLA MK2 and it seems to work relatively well. I am just saying adding weapons without thinking about certain details makes the game world feel less coherent.
We can make it a turret weapon on a Hummer.
Dont get me started about the minigun.... If it were up to me they woukdnt exist at all.See this I could get behind. In fact, I could get behind a few ideas that would make the M-2 look like a HUNTING RIFLE by comparion. And "just" the hummer? Why not everything else? (Don't make me google pics!)Eternauta suggested turrets. Actually, that's a really good (and realistic) idea, but implenting them might cause devs fits (as in bald-headed fits).
No. I caught hell fot it before, so now I'm sticking to it.At least I'm leaving the miniguns issue alone........
This is a game,and game don't must be "close to reality" ...
If I'm gonna catch hell fot it before, then I'm gonna stick to it later on, after it's no longer convient to those who gave it to me.
So you want to tell me that in reality there is people that can survive 8 shoots from rockets or bursts from Minigun and other shit?... Why we dont have only 1hp chars that will be so close to reality (one shoot one kill) ? ...
