    Gotta love the absolutely bonkers dmg and pen values in this game. Can we just take a moment to notice that the 5.7 sb193 (62 grain bullet) does more dmg and pen than 5.56 m855 (also a 62 gran bullet) except the m855 is going 3 times faster. Lol if your not a gun person bullet weights are measured in grains. So unless sb193 has some kind of tandem shape charge with a HE backer these numbers are insane.

      while you're not wrong about tarkovs jank bullet stats, looking at you 9x39 and 300 black out. in the case of sb193 more damage does make some sense as it is a JHP vs FMJ more pen though, yeah no idea.

      @Bishox 2 года назад +4

      Damage IRL is dependant on many factors so smaller round could cause more damage.
      And Penetration IRL is heavily correlated with speed and weight- the materials play a huge deal as well.
      I dont think Sb193 is an AP round but if constructed so-it could have similar damage and penetration to m855- the speed and weight arent the only factors

  • @lp9280
    @lp9280 2 года назад +12

    6:49 - that is actually realistic and like IRL. Basically, the reason why ASH and VSSK use enormous and very heavy 12.7x55 ammo is that they are subsonic, and the only way to carry damage on subsonic ammo is weight. On supersonic weapons the most of damage comes from speed, but high speed = high drag and that means that bullet damage drops off quick quickly, whereas on heavy subsonic bullet, there is not much speed to speak off, so there is little drag affecting it and they are very capable up-to 300m. Now whereas for supersonic it is drag that limits the range, for heavy subsonic it is gravity which limits the range. They would still hurt further away, but they start to have quite big arc due to gravity... and the bullet acts more like artillery shell rather than bullet.

    • @RobinsonHuso94
      @RobinsonHuso94 2 года назад +1

      Very nice explanation. I like to add a few points tho my friend. Damage comes from the kinetic energy which pretty much is the result of velocity and mass. Therefore a "slow" bullet with more mass can have the same kinetic energy as a "fast" bullet with less mass. Pretty much what u said.
      High speed doesn't always mean high drag either. There are alot of factors that play into drag, especially supersonic speed or the Reynolds number and a non laminar flow. So a supersonic bullet could essentially have less "specific" drag compared to a subsonic bullet.
      The limiting factor for range is always gravity. In theory the drag is going to reach near 0 with a minimal speed.
      I'm sorry for my bad English but greetings from a fluid dynamics engineer :D

    • @lp9280
      @lp9280 2 года назад +1

      @@RobinsonHuso94 Yes I am sure you correct. The drag really depends on the shape of the bullet than anything else and therefore both supersonic and subsonic bullets can have same drag coefficient.
      What I meant to say is that at high speed the resulting drag is what is causing most slow down and less speed = less energy. This is less of an issue for subsonic bullets as they are slow to begin with and most of penetration is achieved by mass anyway, so they are less affected by drag.

  • @fret2442
    @fret2442 2 года назад +35

    glad to see the ASh-12 getting more recognition for how nutty it is, though it makes me more worried it'll get a nerf, or make PS12B even harder to get. It was my gun of choice last wipe, and with high ergo and good reaction time, it is probably one of the best close-mid range guns in the game. I just treat it like a DMR with a panic switch when I'm outside. When I'm inside, it's just total chad time because you can push virtually anything and win.
    PS12B is great because it does so much damage that even if you are fighting out in the open and you don't get those thorax shots, you're immediately blacking any limb you hit and likely to cause a heavy bleed. The damage spill over from a limb hit is enough to get people into panic mode. Twice this wipe I've been on the receiving end of PS12B where it penetrated through my arm and into my thorax and it leaves you absolutely devastated. It's hard to even fight back when you get hit with the ASh. Phenomenal gun, great fun, I run it loud with the Hera Arms CQB foregrip and make sure to put on a couple iron sights for ergo, and then just slap on a holo sight. I rarely bother to suppress it because it's still going to shatter eardrums when suppressed - main reason I suppress it is for the muzzle flash, but most of the time I'm going loud and proud.

    This gun has actually performed one of the best this whipe. It obviously has a weird recoil pattern for leading shots, but if your enemy is in fro t of you a full auto mode of it has an odd recoil pattern in that if you shoot center mass the next shot usually head shots. The only issue I've seen is the massive weight of it if you are actually carrying a respectable amount of 20 round mags, repack and a heavy level 5 armor. Not regen becomes an issue real quick

But it was dog water, i was hitting skavs chest with no armor and with armor and they would soak up 4 and 5 shots at times. Drove me crazy, i blew through all the rounds i brought so quickly having to put so many rounds into skavs. It was one of those raids they just wouldnt stop coming, i think i had 14 killed by the time i died to a pmc when i had to start using a skav weapon

  • @itzaleaf405
    @itzaleaf405 2 года назад

    One thing I'll add on the sniping part, that bullet speed *really* hurts when it comes to a moving target. Since your bullet is so slow shooting at ~290-300 meters the bullet will take an entire second (where as a 900m/s would take a third of that) meaning you need to REALLY lead your shots by a much larger margin which is very difficult at times.

    • @Gigabeef

      At certain ranges no it can't! SS AP even worse. The higher the pen, the less reduction there is so vs a Ulach for example you wouldn't expect much reduction. It's a bit tricky but at around 200m you'll deal sub 35 damage and won't get the kill
