4.13.2 de-bugging

[CzechTexan]

I'm don't know if this issue has been covered so forgive me. My problem is missing bridges on the Slovakia_Autumn map. The area I noticed this was in the southeast corner of the map. The other Slovakia maps have bridges there but not on the new Autumn map.

I have made a posting about the missing bridges.
The same thing occurred on the Slovakia maps when 412 was released.
The bridges were returned when the next 412 patch came out.
So there is much hope that this is a temporary map problem that will be resolved in the next patch as before.

Thanks for the message Baddington. I remember that there was a patch for the bridges before so I'm sure it'll be fixed. In the meantime we'll have to work around it.

HE fragments from the Breda-Safat 12.7mm are capable of causing damage to aircraft many meters away from the blast site. Very impressive for a shell that contained just 0.8 grams of PETN!

I haven't tested it, but the Soviet UB 12.7mm and other 12.7mm MG might also have blast radii which are too big.

While it is possible for shrapnel fragments to travel a great distance, due to their small size and poor aerodynamics they quickly lose velocity, making it incredibly unlikely that they'd retain enough force to inflict damage on an aircraft more than a few meters from the blast.

Edit: Realistically, using a blast radius calculator found here:

http://www.un.org/disarmament/un-saf...ngery-bulmash/

the Breda-Safat 12.7mm HE round (.8 g PETN filler) should have an effective blast radius of a little over 1 meter, since that's the maximum range at which you get 14 kPa of overpressure. Maybe 2 m maximum blast radius to model fragments.

By contrast, the 30mm minengeschoss Ausf.C round with 72 grams of PETN should have an effective blast radius of about 4.5 meters, perhaps doubled to 9 m. The MG 131 13mm HEI-T round, with 1.4 g of PETN should have an effective blast radius of about 2.7 m, perhaps doubled to 5.4 m.

It's been used many times before as a reference in gun debates. It's an excellent site.

Left side waist MG on the S.M.79 isn't properly "zeroed" - bullets fired from the weapon strike slightly to the left of where it is aimed.

Not a big deal at close ranges, but makes it hard to hit distant targets.
