No splash damage in VR!

    I noticed that in VR, splash damage from tanks is set to zero. This was true before the hotfix and after. Kinda pointless to test weapons when they don't even function like they are supposed to. You can land an HE round 1 inch from an infiltrator and it does no damage! Please fix

    Yeah and apparently (unless I am hallucinating) no bullet drop either. This is actually a big deal because if you run out to a distance to practice head-shots at 300+ meters you are not going to be training at all without the bullet drop you would normally see outside of VR.

    I'm very certain that VR has bullet drop, try using a slug shotgun to see it yourself.

    I might be mistaken, but I did not discern any bullet drop at distances where I start to see it outside of VR (200+ meters) with the Parallax, a BASR.

    The lock on is broken while you're on the main building only.

    Still broken.

    As a mag driver with racer 3 and full mag burner I don't see your problem and don't like the idea of a directional burner. Yes we have the weakest tank 1 on 1 but great mobility, using the magburner to seeing round and shoot tanks in the butt is great fun. Also we won't get people whinging mags are op. I'd like to see a new new cannon for each faction that does something cool.

    The Parallax (and the other faction high powered BASR) all have very minimal drop, in actual play you really don't need to aim much higher to compensate for them. As mentioned try a lower velocity projectile, like slug shotguns or NS-7 with SPA/Suppressor. Slug shotguns are like throwing softballs.

    VR has had issues since inception.

    It does kinda suck, but w/e. You can still get a feel for handling, rof, etc from weapon systems.

    You just have to mentally factor in the Splash damage.

    Why is this still broken?

    Do you remember when splash damage worked in VR?

    Worked fine until a random update screwed it up. Hasn't worked since, and that seems like 3+months now. How sad.

    The last content update didn't include a fix for this. Sadface.
