kind of retarded that a slow ass dart has no drop, but a supersonic round drops like a rock after distance.

i meant over time, like if (vertical) drop on both was measured over a second, disregarding how far they traveled horizontallyFlaming_Maniac wrote:

The only applicable "rate" is distance dropped/distance traveled, maybe you meant acceleration but velocity is the rate with respect to time.
A supersonic round is going to drop just a tiny bit over 100m, a slow ass dart is going to drop tens of meters.

We had a physics class demoing that.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Yeah but that is useless in context. And you said rate. That would probably imply distance per unit time, but that doesn't make any sense, and distance per unit distance makes a lot more sense than distance per unit time squared.
Just being bitchy about it because the first post was awfully picky on stupid details.
it's a DART, thus is has wings, thus it should fly straighter.SplinterStrike wrote:

One ball was dropped from the machine while the second was shot to the side, they both impact at the same time, but did not travel the same distance. Trying to find a video of it.
Anyhow, Tracer dart should fall at the same rate, and travel less far, but it doesn't. Thank you, coding.
well yeah....never mindFlaming_Maniac wrote:
The dart falls at the same rate, but it takes FAR less time for the bullet to travel the 100m than the dart. Thus, the dart will have fallen further than the bullet across the same distance.
But if it has wings, lift counterracts the gravity...Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Unless it's got a jet engine stuffed in the back of it, the fins on a dart would provide inconsequential lift.Trotskygrad wrote:

Urgh..... Yesterday I tagged a Blackhawk with tracer after about 10 tries.... Sisco was piloting and Ultrafunkula was shooting like an mainiac...
Then I changed to RPG and locked and fired.... and... and... and.... MISSED !!! FUCKING RUSKIE PIECE OF SHIT !!!!!
it does, that's why it has a red trail.JohnG@lt wrote:

same for helis... Except the heli ejects flares. Tbh, it would remove the point of smoke if it didn't have this effect.theDude5B wrote:
FYI: Not sure if you know this, as I only found out recently, but if you have the Smoke specialisation equipped and are sitting in a tank that gets marked with a tracer dart, then the smoke removes the trace and the enemy can not lock on.
Handy hint, but keep it hush hush as I don't think many people know this
