Title: Turn rate
Post by: owens on January 18, 2013, 01:31:49 pm

So I have already suggested turn rate by moment of inertia. Alas I after doing some sums I found that the values to each end of the spectrum were far to extreme.

This is due to massive variation in weapon reach 40 to 300
So I did some more thinking and thought what if we had more variables. wpf and str were my subjects.


So now

turn_difficulty =  (some_factor1)*(mass-(some_factor2*str))*(length-(wpf*some_factor3))^2   

 ------------------>  some_factor3 should not have the same constant for each weapon type
 ------------------>  some_factor1 is from moment of inertia and should vary upon weapon weight distribution
 ------------------>  any neccesary factors for the below equation can be included within some_factor1


turn_rate = (vanilla_turn_rate)/(turn_difficulty)



So being stronger and more proficient is better. However for longer weapons proficiency is more important than strength.

Are you saying the new turn rate calcs are too extreme, or your old suggestion was too extreme  :?

In the future turn rates will be done by hand for each weapon. Until then we'll keep the current formular I think.

His old suggestion was too extreme.


 I thought it would nice if each weapon had an optimum build. (In respect to turn rate)
