\\ ATTENTION // As of version 0.6.6, Fontaine's REALISM MOD is REQUIRED!!! This mod will not function without it!
The overarching theme of this and any future mods to be released under my 'TarkovIRL' moniker is generally to slow down Tarkov gameplay; more survival shooter, less deathmatch-with-extra-steps.
Within that scope, the Weapons Handling Mod has three general goals:
1) Make weapons feel very different depending on their size and ergo, thus encouraging the player to select specific weapons for specific tasks. Larger and more modded weapons are going to feel squishy, so you really have to think about how to set up your kit.
2) Make aiming harder generally, with a weapon deadzone, with added weapon sway, with my 'parallax' (aiming mis-alignment) feature, and with various visual effects which impede the player's ability to aim depending on the condition of his character.*
3) Generally improve the aesthetic fidelity of how the player's character handles the weapons, to what I imagine is more authentic.
* (Enter long screed about how recoil is the only lever BSG had to pull to change the dynamic of firefights, because aiming is too easy.)
KNOWN ISSUES
- There is (was?) a known bug that causes the player camera to 'stutter' occasionally, quickly twisting in an awkward manner. This occurs (occurred) only when using the Deadzone feature. As of 0.6.1, I've implemented code which seems to have fixed the issue. I have not noticed it since and I believe it has been squashed but please comment if you do see it.
- There may be conflicts with the Increased Look Direction mod (there is also increased look range in my mod, so you don't need both).
Important mods I use (see next tab for full list) :
- Path to Tarkov
- Fontaine Realism
- Fontaine FOV fix

- MOAR
- Looting bots
- Questing bots
- Backdoor Bandit
- Amands's gfx

Version 0.7 testing
|
This table identifies which version of Realism each version of WHM is compiled with. Any given version of WHM may work with a version of Realism not specified in the table, but it's just an accident if it does!
WHM v0.6.8 | Realism v1.4.8
WHM v0.6.7 | Realism v1.4.8
WHM v0.6.6 | Realism v1.4.8
Note : Realism v.1.4.8 is incorrectly identified as v.1.4.7 within the mod itself, in the loading screen and in the F12 menu. It's just an error, it actually is 1.4.8.
