Laser poniter

[Tw0t3n]

Hello,

could you please add the laser pointer mod to the next update?

Laser pointer as in the laser going from the enemy's barrel, straight ahead, so you can see where they are aiming? Yeah, not gonna happen, if it's that.. that mod is illegal.

Every MOD which give you an advantage against the enemy is illegal, for example reload timer, penetrate areas, views in minimap etc. which are already in this MOD........same as the lasers..... so....

[Quaksen]

Then every mod is illegal by your definition, and should be in the modpack, because they're all the same?

 

Laser has been ruled illegal, where others you mention have not, in most cases?

the reload timer cant be illegal though to be honest ,  as all its showing what everyone really knows . for example  if u have an oi  and r facing an oi   then enemy shoots u  , u will know the reload time any way as u are using the oi yourself. all its doing is putting the info u already know  in front of u in the  game.  u cud have  all reload times  written down on a piece of paper etc.

one thing to note the reload timer  only starts counting when you r hit. example  if an arty has a 30 sec reload  and  you r at either end of map  travel of shell is 3 seconds  , when arty hits u  timer will say 30 secs but in reality its 27 secs, yes u may argue it gives massive advantage over others but in reality the info Is already in the game by your own knowledge.

this is the same as the penetration  and weak spots mods  , all the info about each tank is available on wg forums  and wiki

 

laser pointer however is  a massive  advantage and is deemed illegal , heres an example why .  u r  heading towards a rock or a building  the tank is hidden from view  so u don't know what way it is pointing , u have to decide  what way u go round hoping u guess the correct way  and  go round the rear of him avoiding taking a shot and  shooting him  ,  if u guess wrong and go round the front of him u take a shot  or end up dead , with the laser u know instantly  what direction he is aiming at  , so u  don't have to guess what way to go.

this is the same as the minimap tank view mod  illegal too .

I'm wondering do the reload timers take into account the equipment, crew skills, and consumables or are they just using a generic 100% crew for the timer?

Doesn't take into account all sorts of stuff, just base reload I think.

Can probably be setup to just assume everyone uses maxed everything.

It'll never be 100% accurate in any case.

I thought so just didn't know for sure thanks

I am not sure on this as many times ive faced enemys seen the reload time and only a few times ive seen them shoot when there is 1  second left  but there is no guarantee that it is perfectly  accurate adjust to equipment etc  it is a good mod as it does help u out on deciding when its safe to attck or sneak out
