Should weapon stats be listed?

[CutterJohn]

Not kill stats, but the actual figures themselves that determine a weapons and vehicles properties. I'm a fan of cold hard facts, and would approve of an info screen somewhere in game listing weapon damage, rate of fire, dps, cof, reload speed, etc, etc. Same for vehicles.

Players will figure out many of these things themselves, of course. I tend to be one of those that does it if info is not made available. But figuring out the hidden stats with a lab rat partner and a stopwatch get tedious.. I'd just like all the information to be present.

example: In the BF games they hide this stuff from you, making you guess, and making others dig through the game files to make stuff like this.

and this is why i like world of tanks.

It should display all the stats.

I see no reason not to especially with customizable differences in weapons.

TF2 lists specifically what the weapon does. That I like, because I do not play the game full time and do not know about half the weapons anymore. That cash shop while fitting into TF2 nicely has ruined the game for me slightly.

Not the best instance, played through WoT's beta(s) and never did they give concrete facts or even loosely based listing stats while I was there...

It certainly couldn't hurt as long as they do it proper and not try to convey it as the facts, just very tentative stats..

I'll be trying to get that info for the Wiki. The early PS devs gave us a lot of behind-the-scenes info like the hex colors for all the merits, so hopefully we can get something for PS2 as well. But even if they don't, we'll try to compile the stats the best we can. Of course this time, the stats will change depending on what upgrades/certs you have, so it's a little more difficult.

Yeah, a cert selection gizmo would be handy, that automatically adjusted stats. Perhaps a comparison gizmo so you can see the difference between base and upgraded.

Given how customizeable everything will be, I'll concede a need for it. I'd like it to be represented more abstractly though, rather than as precise numbers. So like colored bars that go up or down, rather than an excel sheet. I enjoy learning the intracacies of things through experience.

Sure, have the stats.

It's not like people won't compile rough stats, like shots-to-kill, on their own.

I linked the stats...these are the same stats you see ingame...question mark.

Yes! Agreed!...

(This reminds me that PS1 weapons actually have a stats page...not sure how accurate they are though.

lol, not exactly stats on those guns, they tell you nothing.

[Bags]

Um, yes they do. The Jackhammer is four squares strong with two squares of range. Gauss rifle only does two squares of damage but makes up for it with four squares of speed.

But my health bar is round....

[Bags]

Oh, and the MCG shoots bullets five squares per minute.
