Training Afterdark

A tad annoyed, been doing some of my private training in RvS. My times are almost a minute longer then my best, while that's still quite quick (I set the time marker for 5min; and completed it in less then 3:45) it's still very slow... I've always chose that map because of the extreme CQB. Did a couple good runs and even got time to bring out a variety of weapons: MP5/10A2, MP5A4, TMP, P90, Mac 9/11, and the MTAR-21. But I'm still very far from satisfied with my performance. I fear, that I am starting to get old :\


Two things that really pissed me off, the P90 and my faithful P228 pistol. It's like, you fire off a burst into an area the size of a mouth, the target is chest sized, so close that if it was real life, you could almost extend your arms and bayonet the S.O.B. But in RvS, it's still possible to fire in bursts, watching the count of rounds fired increase: 2..4..7.. and guess what? Magically all of the bullets strike the wall behind the X-Ray, but none actually hit them... Leaving you with 44 rounds in a P90 and a dead body, that is not the enemy!!!


It's total bullshit. Although, I must admit in RvS, the game has always given me a feeling that the rear sights are on target, while the front sights are aimed at your toes instead... Tonight was an unbelievably bad display on RvS's part, I've never considered the games P90 to be deead on balls accurate but this was just a joke. I've picked off head-shots at range with the games Mac 9/11, and the P90 is dozens of times more accurate in that game.


The second thing to piss me off, is I shot an X-Ray square in the chest with a P228, 9x19mm Jacket Hollow Point round... Round penetrated and exploded the barrel behind him. While the JHP are still capable of penetrating tangos. I can't help but wonder, why a 9x19mm JHP round from a P228 will do the trick, when a FMJ 9x19mm round from my MP5A4 wouldn't.


What irks me even more so, for "training games" we used to round people up, go find explosive barrels, and take turns shooting them. Walk up to the barrel, fire a round (or two), and run off before the next Rct tries it. Often we use the 5.7mm AP Army (FN Five-Seven) because RvS gives it less stopping power then some SPITBALL from Romania! We've also tested with 5.56x45mm weapons and various 9x19mm pistols using full metal jacket rounds.


The concept that a P228 firing 9x19mm JHP can be more dentimental to a (thick skinned!) explosive barrels contents then the G36K's 5.56x45mm round, just begs for a physicist to explain these ballistics >_>



Geeze, why can't they ever make a *decent* tactical game that is realistic?
