Projectile size. Does size matter? - DragonRider - 05-22-2013
This might be somewhat hard to explain.
I have notised that some projectile effects are bigger or smaller than others.
For example:
Heavy Flashpoint

Bomber Energy Turret
![[Image: Dsy_blade_01_proj.png]](http://discoverygc.com/wiki/images/8/83/Dsy_blade_01_proj.png)
Clearly, the bomber projectile effect is bigger is size compared to the Flashpoint.
My question is: Are the projectiles different is size or just the effect?
What do I mean?
Does the bigger projectile have a bigger "hitbox" ? (excuse me if I'm using the term hitbox wrong here)
And what do I mean by THAT?
Does a bigger projectile have a bigger chance of hitting a small target, simply because if the projectiles's size?
Let me give a example.
Lets say you fire a single Heavy Flashpoint at a Eagle's wing. The eagle moves a bit up, and because the Flashpoint's projectile is so small - it misses.
Now you fire a Bomber Energy Blaster at the same Eagle's wing. The eagle moves a bit up. But this time the edge of the bomber blaster hits the wing (because the projectile effect is bigger).
Can this happen or not?
Does the projectile size matter?

A good example were the old massive BS mortars:
While they look big, they still needed to be aimed perfectly, since the size of the projectile simply does not matter.
(EDIT: gunsize matters though |8 )

Sir, you're so mean.
But in that case, the answer is no

Sure it matter who has the bigger gun, but it matters a lot more who's swinging it.

I think you guys are missing the point.

To answer your question in a serious manner: No it does not.
All projectile's hitbox sizes are the same, even if their "effect" is larger.

Every projectile has the size of one (1) pixel.

Okay. Thank you!
The reason why I ask this is because I think I'm hitting people easier with debs than with Flashpoint. But probably thats just me.
