The health interface is not informative

[Yapopal 165]

The health interface does not perform its functions in some situations. Let's take the AP 45 or OCA with a silencer, during a fight against players with this weapon, I do not get enough information to assess the condition of the character. The sound of bullets hitting, the blushing screen, where is it all? Are we going to play a shooter here or an online addition to GTA SA? I don't use configs, graphics settings are at maximum. Why is everything so bad?

It's a weird fashion of late 2000's - early 2010's games, its just how apb is, just get used to it already. How do you imagine apb with healthbars tho? And...

I've never seen this function in apb, I see allot calling '85 but that seems to be an estimate.

I don't believe an enemy damage bar would work in apb. 

War thunder has something like this, mainly used in the Naval area. 

Where target are slow moving and miles away, and you can repair under fire. 

So relative to apb where targets are moving much faster at closer ranges. 

Where everyone has the same health (excluding kev and fragile).

The time to rehealth or repair is much smaller. 

Too many variables to install a health bar, or pop up box.

not enough room on the screen.

With WT there are different vehicles with different damage models and health.

The Health/damage box only shows up if you hit them, and is really only used or needed 

for large heavy armored targets.

 I realize I'm comparing apples to oranges but in apb that health number could change 

very fast based on too many variables. Use of med spray is instant, not a long repair over time.

Or the guy could trip n fall, so by the time the damage box shows up with a value, the opp could 

have med sprayed, fallen, been shot by a tm.

 That said, I don't believe it would be a simple thing to program in.

I didn't mean a health bar or anything like that. The game already has a health interface. It is a combination of visual and audio effects. 
The player must assess the condition of his character when making decisions, but the game does not inform the player well, because of this, the player makes wrong decisions.

do you have “low quality health hud” checked in your video settings?

Hello,

Such healthbars has been worked arround. But not by devs.
Implenting them above all players name plate would be an interesting thing, but imagine how it would degrate the FPS HUI experience.

I'm not here to make any promotions of injections. But here what youtube provide :

APB don't need healthbars. Get used to it.

I agree with you. And I'm not suggesting adding a health bar. The phrase “health interface” refers to a set of visual screen effects as well as audio effects. The health interface is already in the game. It's just not informative in some situations.

For me it's plenty informative. It all boils down to making choice from that information to stick head out of corner to pew pew now or wait few seconds more.

After seeing  the video (well I already know online cheaters 95% of the time are the worst people you would ever meet) and with how IP and hardware bans seem "easily by passable"

I'm genuinely against addition of these health bars to shooter games, as it dumbs the game down tremendously.
However, in APB, which doesn't claim to be a competitive shooter (look at Apex, they're "competitive" yet they added HUDs to much of the communities despise) I'd definitely make it a top priority QoL change (especially after they iron out the Kismet / Scaleform dilemma they currently have)
