It always amazes me when I watch the podcasts and I see you pop in, you always look exhausted, yet super optimistic.

You’ve got the drive man, that’s something not a lot of developers have these days. You guys pour your heart and soul into this game and honestly, it really shows. Hope everything’s going good and keep up the great work

Thanks, Nikita! You guys have done a great job on this game. When I played the first time, I literally felt anxiety and adrenaline for the first time in a game.

I would love it if you considered the following:
- Create some mild stun effects for no earpro. You could offset this a bit by creating basic earpro that muffles rather than enhances hearing but protects from stun effects.
- It would be cool to have the ability to mod your gun with a heavy barrel for better accuracy and an ergo penalty.
- Just take a second look, if you could, at current relative MOA values between rifles. Plus the MOA feels a little low to me - I'm not sure if I have a truly 1 MOA gun outside of my precision setups, and even then the gun is more accurate than I am. Generally, 2-4 MOA feels about right. It shouldn't make a lot of difference at the ranges we play with in the game.
- I think the difference in pen is maybe a little exaggerated, but in any case I think M995/7N39 s...

Is it possible /u/proconsul12 is referring to barrel harmonics, here? Depending on the quality and construction of the barrel, a certain level of deviation is briefly added to the muzzle after each shot. Which is why I think he is careful to point out that longer barrels need to be paired with high quality materials/weight in order to counter-balance this effect.

Here are a couple short clips to demonstrate, though I'm sure you're already aware of it /u/trainfender :)

thanks for the info. although we do try to follow the realistic approach, something could be missed, done improperly by mistake or reason (in terms of balancing for example). also we dont have a truly working durability system yet, that why we can't fully use the "robust" and "reliable" principles on weapons. that's why we add "more ergo, less accuracy" where we can't do any other thing. Anyway - thanks! I will definitely make some changes
