WTF?? kord???!

[=NoVo-]

If its nothing new, Lock me

Basically, I was having yet another game on yet another server. nothing was different. Not long after I nearly crash a bomber I see something that makes me take a screen (see attached .jpeg)

Look at my kill of 'eminem07125'. It happened (from what I can tell) when the AH-12 chasing me flew into my parachute, then dropped into the sea. wierd?:|:

Re: WTF?? kord???!

Internally in the game (apart from localized text) Russian 12.7mm machinegun is called Kord, just like in real life.

I have no idea how the game figured you killed him with Kord though, but it happens.

Re: WTF?? kord???!

Is it just an unused name then? ah well............ :laugh:

It looks very much Like the PKM, could it just be an early name for it, or a weapon from earlier versions?

Re: WTF?? kord???!

It is actually used, but kills are always done with the vehicle, not the MG itself, like T90 or FAV. Now is you kill someone with FAV's .50 cal but your vehicle gets killed before target gets destroyed (on fire, crashes), it may report you killed him by the weapon mounted in the vehicle as children. That's one reason why sometimes kills have strange names, like hellfire (tv-missile)

And btw, tank drivers secondary weapon (mounted next to cannon) is a PKM, and in real life it can be dismounted and used as emergency weapon if tank gets destroyed.

A hellfire, and TV missile are two different things! Hellfires are the "dumb" rockets, whereas the TV guided, is guided.

Re: WTF?? kord???!

Well the other day on my server I was killed with a .25mm gun or MG or whatever...

You must have been mistaken. Here:

ObjectTemplate.create GenericFireArm AHE_AH1Z_CoGunner_HellFireLauncherTV

And Chinese chopper actually fires beefed up HJ-8's, the MEC/China tripod-mounted AT missile. Don't remember about Mi-28, but I guess it's the same. It's rather interesting what there's "under the hood" to tell the truth, there's a lot stuff what never made it into the game or was only partially utilized. And then there are lots of shortcuts Dice took to to release game earlier.

And the 25 MM gun is US APC's cannon I think.

Re: WTF?? kord???!

Checkout this thread. We did some testing and was able to replicate it from an online round we had, to get all the different kill messages. This thread explains it all.

Ok, they are graphically the same, but the hellfires are dumb rockets, not guided. This will show it:

Helicopter Specifications:
(USMC) AH-1Z Cobra
Pilot controls:
4 Canisters of 8 - hellfire missiles
Gunner controls:
20mm nose mounted cannon
8 - Optically guided anti-tank missile

Re: WTF?? kord???!

I think it means that person got ownd so bad they put KORD

[Maellus]

Re: WTF?? kord???!

Most hellfire missiles are laser guided requiring the target to be painted. The exception being the Longbow version of the Hellfire which is fire and forget.

Re: WTF?? kord???!

Perhaps in real life, but in the game, the dumb fire rockets are considered the hellfire. But it is not worth arguing over, so so be it.

that site is wrong and so is so many other people here, the guide missile on the ah is infact the hellfire weapons system, google it. the rockets are just hydras
