In looking at different sighting hardware for the illumination thread, I came across some issues in the database. Just as a starter, the Move Adjust % is supposed to be an added inaccuracy if a vehicle is moving and firing. I noticed that infantry have the same accuracy penelty as an M1A2 for moving and firing. I have noted a lot of inconsistencies in the database that make me wonder if a lot of issues we see have their roots there.
I also noticed something that might be related to Mike's ATGM issue. Some ATGM weapons don't have sights listed. Looking at the help files leads me to believe this would have a significant impact on results in ATGM combat.
What I am coming to realize is that without either more detailed description of how all the weapon systems parameters interact, or ability to change the database and use trial and error, we are going to be limited in trying to narrow down a lot of issues related to sighting and combat. I think some of our issues relating to weapons not firing when commanded is related to inconsistencies in the database.
The only other thing we can do is pick a few standard systems and test with those, once we feel they are correct. This should eliminate issues with the database. But eventually we will have to go in and fix the database.
