VU-PixelsMod_FlashHit

In an attempt to bring balance to the gameplay, various stats such as the hit points of vehicles, repairing mechanics and damage dealt by weapons have to be adjusted in a way that ensures no particular gadget is powerful enough to be exploited by malevolent players. While this level of attention is a must in official servers, those seeking a different experience can try out VU-PixelsMod_FlashHit.

The Battlefield franchise has been known for its interesting mixture of high fidelity graphics and realistic game engine, coupled with arcade-style controls that make the firefights dynamic yet easy to enjoy by a wide range of players. Unlike certain military simulation-type of games where the realism is taken to the next level, enemies can take a certain number of hits before being eliminated, a metric known as Time-To-Kill or TTK.

The mod at hand seeks to reduce the value of this parameter by increasing the damage of weapons that are known to be devastating in real-life, such as the rockets launched by attack helicopters. The surface area affected by a rocket is augmented threefold, making it easier for vehicle-centric players to level buildings and prevent bots from capturing objectives.

Both helicopter and jet pilots benefit directly from the extension’s quick re-spawn rate of vehicles, thus eliminating an issue prevalent in vanilla servers, where your favorite model is repeatedly stolen by an insistent teammate. This particular parameter being altered also lets you get back into the fight more easily, allowing you to practice piloting planes more often in custom servers before engaging real players.

Other changes made to the server-wide stats include additional ammo for mounted weapons to counteract the reload speed, decreased recoil for shotguns to extend their range beyond the original close-quarters usage scenario and a revamped version of the crossbow to compensate for its slow reload speed.

VU-PixelsMod_FlashHit’s additions should fit the needs of both casual players seeking to test their strengths against bots and veterans willing to try a different twist to the usual gameplay strategies employed throughout the years in official servers.
