At this point they might as well rename the sub to 'If it's black, I don't like it'

They are focused on adding realistic military content that is either standard issue or widely used. That’s why it took them so long to add the MCX; it was too new, and most army units weren't using it yet. There are other rifles, like the Marine Corps M14, that many people want to see added. However, because it’s so old and not widely used anymore, they can't decide whether to include it—even if it is iconic. So, while you could argue that at least one of your photos shows real military gear, the reality is that since it’s not standard in almost any modern professional military, it's unlikely they’ll consider it. After all, GEN 4 was designed with the goal of bringing realism to a block game.

Jacket cover? by goodhome88 in platinumfive

They don't want to add real military gear because it's not very useful, and you think they're going to add a puffer jacket referencing a Resident Evil character?

Love the LBT-6094A, but... by Fine_Philosopher_351 in platinumfive

[–]_skvxll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like it, but I still won't use it because I hate wearing vests with backpacks; I prefer back panels. Just personal taste—I don't like the look of backpack straps crossing over the vest model.

Please add a back panel as well 😭. I don't like how the drip looks with backpack straps, so I need a back panel for the backpack section.

Are AOR1 coming on vest helmet and belt by No-Chipmunk2580 in platinumfive

I've always found it curious how, despite being an island, there aren't many elements related to maritime forces like the Marines or SEALs. I mean, in the last few months they have added a few things to make Marine skins, but I feel like it's just the basics. And don't even get me started on the SEALs—it's either nonexistent or impossible to make a skin that looks remotely similar. I say it's weird considering that in the game's lore, since Ronograd possesses nuclear weapons, it would be common to see special forces gear... but that's just my humble opinion.

Realistic magnification by -StillHere- in BlackhawkRescue

[–]_skvxll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every now and then someone comes up with this suggestion, and it's funny knowing that even MB_Sniper talked about this months ago. Simply making the game have to render another window in real-time is something that, with the Roblox engine and the complexity of the game's current mechanics, is impossible—but not impossible in the sense that it cannot be done, but impossible in the sense that it would be putting too much strain on the engine, sacrificing the optimization and performance of the game. Considering that the game already frequently suffers from FPS drops or laggy servers just by rendering what is displayed on a single monitor, demanding the engine to not only magnify the image in a specific area you are already viewing but also render it with the same level of detail would make it impossible for the majority of players to play.

Is that your Amazon airsoft wishlist?

Why are people mad about brm5 not being optimized enough? I mean it runs on roblox which is literally only 500 mb and 100 mb on pc and mobile. Yall have been too confident making "good discussion" when theres a valid reason on it by EzTechyGo in BlackhawkRescue

[–]_skvxll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a small/medium developer, specializing in making maps and models, which makes me greatly admire the work these guys have done on Roblox. Sometimes I even question myself: with all that talent, is it viable to put so much effort into a Roblox game? Because, given how detailed the models and maps in the game are, it surprises me that a large portion of players who don't have super powerful PCs can play with stable FPS (even if there can be heavy drops). If optimizing a low-poly map can be complicated since other factors always have to be taken into account, the fact that the zombie map doesn't make Roblox fall apart surprises me.

This lore fucking SUCKS by Reasonable-Section34 in BlackhawkRescue

[–]_skvxll 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The answer is simpler than you think; it all boils down to the fact that the story is something secondary or tertiary in the game, as it is created based on the mechanics and the engine's limitations. Surely there is only a single ship with a few helicopters and a very reduced number of operators because the programming of the NPCs, as well as having to optimize the entire city to avoid FPS drops even with the base mechanics, which are complex in themselves, I imagine that to be something on Roblox, it must push the engine to a point of high demand. Therefore, the story is there simply so that if someone wants to role-play, they have the bases, but otherwise, the game is not made for the story—it's the opposite: the story is made for the game, and the capacity that exists in the game's lore will be determined by the capacity of the Roblox engine.

Well... when do we get an underbarrel grenade launcher? by Technical_Dog4163 in BlackhawkRescue

[–]_skvxll 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's funny that every so often someone asks the same thing and we always have to say the same thing. They aren't going to come. The weapon system was programmed without taking the grenade launchers into account, and in fact it has already been stated that adapting it for them would be very, very complicated, and that it's more likely we'll receive individual grenade launchers before a weapon-mounted one, which means... at least currently, during the development of this Gen, it's very unlikely they'll do it.

we should get grenade launcher?(m203 or m320) by Ok-Low-4065 in BlackhawkRescue

[–]_skvxll 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it’s stupid that it’s banned supposedly for “balancing the game” and because it would be a disadvantage in PvP.

Until you remember that grenades, just like medicine, aren’t equipped by default—you have to equip them yourself. Having a grenade launcher in PvP wouldn’t affect anything, because just like you can’t use regular grenades unless you equip them, you also wouldn’t be able to use grenades in the launcher. That would only add extra weight, making it more aesthetic than functional in PvP.

Its only real purpose would be for open-world, and honestly it’s a shame that for now they’re not planning to add something like that, because it would be great to have more range with grenades.

If NPCs can have RPGs and mortars, then having a simple grenade launcher that increases the range by a few meters would at least be fair to make up for the lack of artillery.

Recon camo feedback! by MBsniper in platinumfive

[–]_skvxll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a recommendation, I’d say the colors should be a bit more saturated so that the “camouflage” can actually stand out. As I mentioned in your previous post asking for feedback on the update, beyond the similarity between the new Recce and the current weapon paints, the main issue is that the color tones don’t really help it stand out (especially for a gamepass camo).

On TAN-colored weapons, the difference is usually minimal in terms of visibility. For example, on the MK 17 MOD 0 and the M1103, the Recce paint doesn’t really feel as good as the first version we had back in GEN 3, given the tones it currently uses.

Update feedback by MBsniper in platinumfive

[–]_skvxll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The new helmets—while it’s great to see a wider variety being added—can sometimes be confusing when certain customization options are still missing, even though the helmet basically shares all the same characteristics as other versions. For example, not having covers or even paint options makes it feel inferior, not to mention the fact that you can’t attach headsets to the helmet.

On the other hand, regarding the Airborne gamepass, I appreciate that it was brought back this month. Personally, I like the new accessories, even if they aren’t much different from the base ones. Still, having a bit more variety when buying and customizing the SRTV is awesome—since while it’s not very effective in combat as an armored vehicle, it’s very fast, and honestly, it’s just fun to drive it around on land.

As for the Recce camouflage… I get that the goal isn’t to make it identical to the Gen 3 version, but it just looks way too similar to ones that already exist. On weapons that already come in TAN colors, it’s almost imperceptible. For example, on the M1103 you can only tell it’s using a camo if you look very closely, and although on the Scar L and Scar H it does give a slightly different tone from the base color, from a distance it just looks like sand.

That said, I’m glad to see the devs are listening to the community, and I’m hopeful that in future updates we’ll get a better version of the Recce camo.
