DETAIL JO:TAC OVERVIEW

===| Weapons |===

Graphics

  • Completely overhauled weapon models and textures with high-quality visuals.

  • All-new animations for small arms—includes realistic firing and reloading.

  • Improved muzzle flash and shell ejection particle effects.

  • 1st-person weapon models now properly align with the crosshairs for true aim.

Sound

  • All weapons feature new, punchy, and realistic audio—each firearm now has a distinct character.

  • Distance-based sound attenuation refined to reflect bullet caliber (not just weapon type).

  • Explosions and gunfire include enhanced echo and sustain for immersive acoustics.

Handling Accuracy Revamp:

  • No random bullet spread when stationary and aiming down sights.

  • MOA-based accuracy now mirrors real-world performance.

Recoil Overhaul:

  • Recoil is now based on real-world felt impulse, factoring in weapon weight, bullet mass, and muzzle velocity.

  • Crouching reduces recoil by 25%; prone reduces it by 50%.

  • Attachments affect recoil—e.g., M203 launcher adds weight and reduces M16 recoil.

Weapon Sway System:

  • All weapons now include realistic sway while aiming down sights.

  • Sway is determined by weapon weight and is reduced by crouching (50%) or eliminated when prone.

Optic Improvements:

  • Replaced all iron sights, red dots, and scopes with accurate sight pictures.

  • Functional reticles—For example: ACOG and RPG-7 optics can now be used to range targets accurately.

Additional Improvements:

  • Pistols now support aiming down sights.

  • Functional toggle between red dot and 3x optic for G36 and similar hybrid optics.

  • Fire rates adjusted to match real-world capabilities, including semi-auto sniper rifles.

===| Ammo & Ballistics |===

  • Bullet velocities match real-world data based on barrel length and caliber.

  • Bullet weights accurately set in grains for each cartridge.

  • Drag coefficients adjusted to reflect real-life ballistic slowdown over distance.

  • Bullet impacts can suppresses players by disrupting their aim.

  • Supersonic bullets produce realistic cracks as they pass by.

  • Tracer rounds removed from sniper rifles and SMGs for increased realism.

  • New bullet impact FX for water, terrain, and objects.

  • .50 cal bullets can now penetrate and damage targets up to 5 meters behind cover.

===| Vehicles |===

  • Several stock vehicles remodeled and retextured for improved detail and character.

  • Realistic vehicle speeds and handling applied across the board.

  • Land vehicles: tighter turn radius now requires slower speeds for tight maneuvers.

  • Helicopters: flight speeds increased to match real-world performance.

  • Vehicles now have weak points—target strategic zones for higher damage.

  • Vehicle HP adjusted based on weak point logic (e.g., rockets only one-shot jeeps if hitting the engine).

  • Improved vehicle audio: hear the difference from inside vs. outside helicopters, for example.

===| Player Movement |===

  • Player movement now features inertia, so it takes ~0.5 seconds to reach full movement speed.

===| HUD & UI |===

  • HUD redesigned to be minimalistic and non-intrusive.

  • Mini-map replaced with a compass to encourage situational awareness and realism.

  • Weapon armory now provides detailed stats: Handling, fire rate, accuracy, plus short weapon bios and unique traits.
