Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

The standard Katiba weapon (Katiba 6.5mm) than Carbine Katiba 6.5mm, Katiba GL 6.5mm, MX 6.5mm, MX 3GL 6.5mm and MXC 6.5mm.

In the virtual arsenal all of these weapons have the same damage, but shooting at the same target, with the same armor (GA Carrier Rig), all weapons kill with 5 shots. Except the standard Katiba 6.5mm, which kill with only 4 shots (exactly the same as the MX SW (which deal more damage than all of these weapons)

Even without comparing Katiba series with MX series, Carbine Katiba, standard Katiba and Katiba GL, that three weapons are the same base weapons with a few changes. {F26541}

5-Go to the back of any of them, and select single fire mode.

6-Shoot one shot by one shot (to ensure how many bullets needed to kill him).

I'm not very sure of the name of the chest rig I used because my game is in spanish, so I uploaded a screenshot with the exact gear I used, except the weapon.

The reason could be a higher velocity because of the bullpup design of the katiba because since i dont know what update the velocity and the dmg also depends on the barrel length. I would say Carbi e Katiba should do the same dmg like a MX standart. The MX SW should have the same Dmg like the MX.

Hello, please try reproducing the issue on normal soldiers. The VR Entities in virtual arsenal have higher damage resistance. Normal soldiers always died in the same amount of shots for me.

Unable to reproduce in editor.

Hi, I tried to reproduce the issue in editor, with normal soldiers, with VR soldiers and with virtual entity, all with the same results. I killed all with 3 shots. The problem is not the virtual entity unit then the issue it's not the unit, its the virtual arsenal.

I tested more rigs in the virtual arsenal and the issue its with the GA Carrier Rig and the US Plate Carrier Rig (Kerry), both with the same protection, it's curious because I tested the same weapons with a chest rig with more protection (max protection), and all weapons kills with the same amount of shots. So there is a problem in the virtual arsenal with the standard Katiba and these chest rigs. Maybe the standard Katiba have a bit higher damage (maybe too low to have any effect on a normal gameplay), and in the entities in arsenal having higher protection, it's a noticeable difference.

PD: Sorry I didn't know the VR Entities in the virtual arsenal had higher damage resistance. I assumed they had the same damage resistance as a normal soldier, because this mode is for testing weapons and loadouts. Is this an issue?

PD2: TheMasterofBlubb, I understand your explanation, it could be true if we compare the MX series with the Katiba series, or even Carbine Katiba with standard Katiba. But Standard Katiba and the Katiba GL are the exact same weapon, the only difference it's one have a GL, because that it's impossible that one weapon have higher damage than the other. But seems that is an issue with VR entity.
