Why would anyone pick CA2 instead of CA3? It's mainly long range players, that prefer the faster regeneration, and who have more readily available cover. If you don't think that's enough players, how would you compare their numbers to the amount of people who isn't using CA3 currently? You pretty much said it yourself. CA2 and CA3 at least have some differences that make them worth choosing between each other. But CA1 ? With CA2 as default regen I'm still pretty concerned about Kevlar and Flak users Why would anyone pick CA2 instead of CA3? It's mainly long range players, that prefer the faster regeneration, and who have more readily available cover. If you don't think that's enough players, how would you compare their numbers to the amount of people who isn't using CA3 currently? Big brain take : the only mod worth using is Fragile + Epinephrine spam

My problem with this : Who would willingly choose a mod that adds regeneration delay? Your suggestion honestly makes sense since CA3 is what you want to use, but you risk making all other CA mods even more irrelevant - kinda like how it is right now, where CA merely gives you the illusion of choice EDIT : Another issue - CA3 tier regeneration with Kevlar & Flak Jacket is a big no-no in my book. Which is why I wouldn't go past CA1-tier default regeneration - you risk making all other health mods too powerful. Add a regeneration penalty on the mods (to balance them out) and most people would dodge them, returning to the CA only meta

What I suggested at multiple points in time was similiar to this CA 1 is now default regeneration - it's essentially irrelevant, and giving Kevlar / Fragile / Flak Jacket this regen rate wouldn't make them OP. Plus it helps new players, which is always welcome in a game like APB CA 2 and CA 3 split into their own mod (since there's people who 2 over 3) to streamline in a fashion similiar to the r195 mods which only have one level

Further tweaks. I'll have to call this done despite there being a million more things I'd like to tweak Now imagine how stupid fast it would look running mag pull 3. Ask and you shall receive... https://my.mixtape.moe/dunzli.mp4 It looks snappier than it should since I just squashed all keyframes close together - in game they'd just up the playback rate which.. would still make it look stupid fast, but at least it'd look smooth (since game engines tend to have interpolation which you don't get in Blender / Max / Maya - it's what makes going to frame 3.69 of an animation in UE4 possible, for instance)

Lazy video grabbed directly from the viewport. Anim is still WIP but it's mostly a matter of polishing and adding secondary motions - I don't expect to make any more broad changes to it https://my.mixtape.moe/nudurm.mp4 Man, cramming all this stuff under 2 seconds is pretty painful. I would've loved to have a mag slap but I simply can't do it - I'm already having trouble with some of the motions being too quick since I had to cram a lot of keyframes into a smol tiny space

The 'Old Glory' was sold on Armas as well, but only very briefly Huh. I stand corrected.

Isn't the Old Glory unavailable to own through normal means, however? You could only legitimately obtain the PR1 / PR2 variants

Last post of mine got ignored so this time I'll try posting some pictures as well : Working on a proper P90 reload for the PDW-57 - all good animations rely on good posing, which is why I've started trying to mimic the in-game combat stance (although reloads start from the relaxed idle. Oops!)

Thanks for keeping us posted! Looking forward to the future of APB

I got some play time in with the shredder today Not sure how its TTK stacks up against other CQC weapons but it easily goes beyond most shotguns' and even some SMGs ranges - and that's with CJ3 and no sight mods Shotguns in general should have their range reduced a bunch honestly, but given the nature of most engagements in the game they'll always be a pain in the arse to deal with

I'm happy to see this still exists I've harassed Jenz for some APB assets but I didn't wind up doing much with them. What's an animation you'd like to see made, using APB models? Might make one over the weekend. Can be anything from a gun reload to something a bit more complicated - I'll go with the easier one naturally!

I'd limit the purchasable ARMAS item to a selection, rather than let everything be purchasable with joker tickets - still, not a bad idea!

Not too hot on some ARs getting a 5m reduction - ATAC and Raptor as other have mentioned won't even care, STAR , ISSR-A and Misery however kinda concern me My guess is that they want AR players to either grab IR, and get a TTK comparable to that of a marksman rifle, or just use a marksman rifle with no IR

except he's still using two hands to operate it ...

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Forgot about this one. The Ursus is even more annoying than the NTEC at range, packing quite the punch up close as well

Looking at them on paper - I'm gonna throw out N-TEC test B due to the accuracy changes. Weapons in APB are inaccurate enough as it is, missing shots because muh rng is annoying as hell. Jump modifier change should really stick though. N-TEC test A has a perfect TTK of 0.73, unless my math is off - which honestly isn't all that terrible. Still better than the STAR as well - and given how accurate the NTEC can be with HS3 I don't mind this change too much, but maybe look into reverting the weird bloom curve? I'd like to see the STAR 556 get a mag size increase to 35 from 32 for the same reasons as the NTEC nerf - namely making blue mod choice more enticing. Given the nature of the STAR I reckon more ammo would also help out newbies and veterans alike, seeing as it lends itself well to spamming You'd get a 4-round increase with EM3 and a 2 round increase with mag pull 3 compared to live values AND KEEP IN MIND - if you're nerfing the N-TEC , you really should take a look at the FAR as well. The weapon was designed to basically be the best of both worlds between the STAR and NTEC, with the latter being potentially nerfed we may have the new king be a not widely available weapon (though I'm not sure people would be too keen on that 24 round mag size)

The OCA Whisper, unlike the standard OCA or even the OCA SD, has always benefitted from a 0.8 crouch multiplier (1 on other OCAs) and a whooping 50m effective range (30m on other models) While there's no justification to the range benefit (there's no reason an SMG should do full damage 50m out) - I would actually like to see all OCA benefit from the improved crouch modifier, but I'd understand if it were to go

the LCR got buffed to offset the RoF reduction

What would you suggest?

I reckon it'd fit the same mod niche as Muzzle Brake and High Magnification scope - good for some use cases, not ideal on the majority of weapons

Standard regen with kevlar sucks - I like this

I would love to see more options for lower tier cars Another good candidate would also be the Ceresco imo

I made this suggestion back in 2012. I wonder how well it'd work today. There still isn't a single mod that affects Hard Damage (=done against vehicles) in the game It has three levels, and it is a red mod (so can't be used together with Improved Rifling or Cooling Jacket) Increases Hard Damage by +10/15/20% Reduces projectile* speed by 10/12/15 m/s Reduces Drop-off range by 12/15/18m or Slightly / Moderately / Substantially increases accuracy loss per shot (thanks Kempington) *OSMAW rockets, OPGL grenades As you can tell from the percentages, the mod is going to mostly benefit weapons that already have decent Hard Damage and long drop off distances ( like the ALIG ) while guns like the OCA and the JG wouldn't really benefit from this (since they'd be left with an effective range of around 10 meters) At Level 3, An OSMAW rocket would do around 1480 Hard Damage. Cars like the Pioneer and the Espacio (2000 hp) will still not be destroyed instantly, while cars that barely survived the explosion (Fresno and Vegas) wouldn't be so lucky, An OPGL explosion would do around 750 Hard Damage. There will be a drawback to this : the lowered rocket/grenade speed, which makes it harder to land shots at long ranges, especially if your opponent is aware of your presence. To make an example of a weapon that wasn't built with AV capabilities in mind, the Obeya CR762, which already sports incredible range, good accuracy, and quite a high Hard Damage, still wouldn't be able to destroy 1000hp cars in one magazine, and it would also lose it's distinctive drop-off distance. Same goes for the SR15 Carbine : this one would actually suffer a lot more due to the short drop-off Back then, the DMR did not sport increased damage past 88m, so this mod would benefit the gun twice as much, turning it into a 2shot at much shorter distances. The mod would need an unique downside specific to this gun. Fun fact : SHAW and OCA have the EXACT SAME hard damage

CJ now affects Burst Interval too I wonder how broken CJ oscar is
