That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
During skydiving, right before you hit the ground in your parachute, airspeed always slows to an excruciatingly slow rate. Is this just how the game works or is there anything that can be done to speed things up here?

Dropping in areas with mining/oil structures has worked for me, but you’re pretty exposed on the catwalks.

(North side of Impala, for example)

if you're squadding in Water Treatment it's not the worst idea to send someone to drop on top of the big tanks because it gives one guy an elevated position with good sightlines and two of the tanks give you some cover in the middle. If you're lucky enough to get a winchester or a decent AR you can make things difficult for anyone else who drops with you

And soon, we may have the opportunity to pay more for higher bandwidth to individual slices of content, instead of overall. Clearly an improvement. /s

Though it does screw up from implying/saying that stopping NN would create data caps. It's wrong, but I guess I see how someone could think that if they (like I do) live in a place without data caps.

There is no way around it unless they change the code. My guess is it's an intentional work around to keep people from dying from falling because of speed.

Yeah this is to keep your legs from breaking. You have to do the same thing with a real chute. Everyone has to do it, so it's at least a shared experience.

I've had friends say they'd like the chance to dive straight into the ground or land harder and take falling damage, but it would suck if every game started with fewer people.

Kind of like how people who don't jump should just be carried off by the plane. Maybe their bodies packed into one of the crates. Would be alright if folks who didn't jump just fell to their death and got no points.

In Arma 3 BR, you had to manually pull your chute or you’d splat. Also if you were moving to fast in any direction when you landed, you’d die too or take massive damage usually breaking your legs. Any change they make in PUBG will still be too casual.

parachute into the flooded city so you can land faster without breaking your legs

for realism's sake, you get tangled in your chute and drown instead

I have been playing a little bit more solo recently trying to get a better feel for the maps, weapons, and controls of the game. I wanted to check something - the bullets do have realistic flight times and parabolic trajectories like in games like ARMA 3, right?

No. For example Kar98 bullets move like 100m/s with huge drop, for gameplay purposes.

Geez, so depending on the weapon you need to lead and adjust for elevation a lot more... I had no idea it was on a per-weapon basis too...

I saw a steam ad for a f2p game called Warface (what a terrible name) that now has a battle royale mode. Has anyone tried it? I see some reviews saying the game in general is sort of pay to win. Anyone tried it? If to win means 30$ or less and it's good, I might can deal with that, unless the paytowin loot is random.

Well usually the p2w games cater for the 0,1% or whatever slice of whales who finance the game, so the experience sucks for 99,9% of others. These days if I even get a whiff about something like that instead of a regular upfront cost I'll just pass the game.

The KAR is actually more like 780m/s. They do vary by gun, but you can adjust zero with a button. At least you can in live, it seems like they might be limiting that to the 8x scope in test, which is absolutely stupid.

100m/s is a huge exaggeration of how slow the bullets are.

AKM 715m/s
K98 760m/s
SCAR 870m/s

The only time you're going to be in awe at comically slow projectiles is when trying to hit players at the edge of the render distance with a VSS.
