Mortar Damage Test | Arma Reforger 1.3

[@PferdeLasagne]

Artillery Guy here, that Damage isnt really inaccurate on flesh / light skinned targets. Thats pretty much perfectly realistic.

[@hamsticklehq]

i was up last night testing as well, it takes one mortar to level a small building including houses and two mortars for big buildings like churches.

[@___seb3341]

the whole destruction system is obviously still work in progress, many buildings don't even have destroyed models yet, i can almost guarantee that houses will be more resistant to damage, expect something similar to arma 3

[@luanthomewagner187]

1:53 That guy flew like 4 meters up in the air lol

[@kingquakes]

cant wait to be that guy when there added lmao

[@DanteMcelfresh]

Is this on the experimental?

[@tiberius8390]

caracal discovers airburst ;) It's interesting that the effect of an airburst is a thing in Reforger. Alas we have no mortar shells that you can set to detonate before impact. In A3 with ACE3 grenades or generally explosive ordnance actually sprayed simulated shrapnel that could or could not hit someone nearby. I think once I was killed by an artillery shell that exploded ca. 100m away, because I was hit ba a shrapnel in the face. Everyone around me was fine. If you were lucky a frag grenade that exploded like 5 meters away from you would not hurt you (much) if no shrapnel hit you. I'm not sure if Reforger simulates shrapnel now, but it would be certainly technically possible and pretty cool if it would.

[@zulu1316]

The guy flying through the air 😂 it’ll be interesting to see the frag damage when impacting trees

[@howtogetdisowned7478]

Could you test if the prone position lessens the likelihood of catching shrapnel?

[@GLCxGLA]

6:55 could be a combination of both less fragments in soviet shells and the use of kevlar on american armor/helmets

[@567sinclair]

i was just thinking this. most american amrour stats its primary protection is against fragmentation

[@Stenny833]

the first mortar did not land on the building, but did destroy it. you can see the mortar in the video, it lands on the left side of the central car (going from engine=forwards). you can even see the decal it left on the concrete.

[@MAXdori]

Do prone characters take less damage on average? When cover isn’t available, I’m interested if it’s a better to hit the ground when you hear a shell incoming versus running away.

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

Going prone works with other explosions. When in doubt hit the deck.

[@PeePeePooPoo4PG]

hahahaha

[@RRTF-DUI]

damage is perfect but i think they should add like handheld 60mm mortas too

[@8Hornet]

handheld, they were not. however they were small and light enough to carry like that.

[@KBKriechbaum]

@@8Hornet M224 ->handheld, as in you are holding the tube with your hand.

[@LyricClock-fo8he]

⁠​⁠@@8Hornetif you can hold it with ur hands I’d say they could be handheld

[@8Hornet]

@LyricClock-fo8he cant be fired from hand, its carried by hand, not used.

[@8Hornet]

@@KBKriechbaum yet it rests on the ground where it is fired

[@haidynallard7872]

Ive never seen a real mortar fire, or the damage it leaves behind, so im not to sure if the damage is to high or not. But what i can say is its awesome lol

[@quickmushroom4735]

shrapnel in reallife is very deadly and dangerous which is why even grenades are crucial in trench warfare in CQB and even open field, mortars are way more effective since theres way more shrapnel and also the possibility of air burst

[@aviator2252]

10 years as an artillery 13D/J and 4 with a 13F forward observer mos, the effects are good, the shrapnel is less, than it ought to be, but with each piece being simulated, it would destroy your rig calculating, on the flip, if the mortar has impact fuzing, the shrapnel is pretty limited and directed mostly up and out from the detonation point, proximity or timed fuzing will greatly increase the lethality by giving shrapnel a full 360 of travel for the shrapnel, overall its pretty good and accurate, as a 13J i appreciate the firing tables and i am glad it is native to reforger, ace was cumbersome but worth it for a3

[@aviator2252]

as for aftermath, 81mm there will be a 2ft by 1 ft crater, and plenty of torn up vegetation and damage to structures focused mostly about head height at about 10m assuming point detonating fuzing

[@Looking4Mountains]

​@@aviator2252 It will be interesting if they ever include adjustable fuze settings for the 81mm, I would like to see if they manage to get prox to work. Also I would like to know if the angle the round impacts affects the blast pattern in game. If you were a J then I assume you have experience calculating VI and know the effect it has when trying to get good affect on targets with large elevation changes. What would you think if they added the M116 howitzer to the game? Ready to play with charts and darts? -A 11C

[@Oliver_Dao]

11/10 thumbnail haha😂

[@saltywalty-1]

are all of these features in multiplayer?

[@brexxes]

You can play multiplayer, there are a few servers up. However you have to play on the experimental version (only works on PC)

[@mcfeddle]

It's such a shame that this isn't on Xbox. I've been bug testing/reporting on it since the medical update. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

[@mcfeddle]

Another thing, this video is exactly why I tell people to spread out in any military game. You are only a bigger, juicier target when you bunch up.

[@tiberius8390]

@@mcfeddle as soon as mortars are live spacing is a true necessity. With 40mm you could get away with 10m, seems not any more in the future.

[@MarksmansBeast2]

the damage physics makes me sad how did battlefield figure it out decades ago .//

[@kballs94]

Battlefield had massive destruction events that were pre-animated and scripted

[@MarksmansBeast2]

@ still more believable then this destruction system

[@merlingood859]

the damage is too high, especially for the buildings

[@quickmushroom4735]

it's a milsim balancing arma games is an actual retarted idea... mortars in reallife are very deadly if hit properly

[@mizaellaremarshall3311]

Too bad. Either this or nothing. I hate u bums who just can’t be grateful.

[@Tetemovies4]

@@quickmushroom4735 Agreed but a single mortar round in real life would definitely not collapse that building.

[@quickmushroom4735]

@ yea damage to building is in a very early state so probably will get reworked

[@yeticonfettis]

@@Tetemovies4 you say as we have plenty of evidence of 81mm mortars leveling houses in Ukraine. Its called soviet bloc architecture

[@cavaliere5676]

Did i heard you smoking a pipe?

[@ryanjones7]

1:53 lol

[@LinaAr-cq8nr]

I guess give the game some time amd it will be perfect but it doesn't justify it's price.

[@EdtheGardener]

You should work for bohemia!
