Hi, i'm using the Abakan, which has a burst penality of 0 (with attachments). According to the formulas in this thread my auto weapon traits should be totally useless in this case ... is this correct?

sure? here the formulas:
1) Weapons Burst Penalty
Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty = Weapon's_Inherent_Burst_Penalty + Burst_Bonus
Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty = 0 + x = 0 (can't go over 0)
2) Total Burst Penality
Burst_Penalty = Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty * (number of bullets already fired in this burst - 1)
Burst_Penalty = 0 * (y - 1) = 0
Mhh ... the Abakan has only a 2-Shot-Burst, this means according to the formula there is no per-bullet-penality no matter what the Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty is
Burst_Penalty = Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty * (number of bullets already fired in this burst - 1)
1. shot: Burst_Penalty = x * (0 - 1) = x (?)
2. shot: Burst_Penalty = x * (1 - 1) = x (?)
... confusing formula

HeadrockQuote:number of bullets already fired in this burst
This is the confusing part - the value includes the current bullet.
aha ... here the altered formula:
Burst_Penalty = Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty * (number of bullets already fired in this burst - 1)
1. shot: Burst_Penalty = x * (1 - 1) = x * 0 = 0
2. shot: Burst_Penalty = x * (2 - 1) = x * 1 = x
-> first shot without penality and second shot with "Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty"
but in my example the "Weapon's_Total_Burst_Penalty" is 0 - this means:
-> no penality for all burst-shots (Burst_Penalty = 0 * (y - 1) = 0)
-> no use for autoweapon trait

I see that sun goggles are never mentioned here. In vanilla JA2 they gave CtH bonus at daytime. But now, as I can see, they only give visibility extension at daytime, right?

An aiming bonus of +20 (scope 10x) gives a 20-meter shortening of range for the first AP spent (2 tiles). That number then slowly diminishes with each AP you spend. In one example I did in the article, I got the effective range shortened by 50 meters (5 tiles) using an imaginary scope. With a regular sniper scope you can get about 7 or 8 tiles shortening of range. It doesn't sound like much, but when the universal range penalty is taken into account, this translates to around +25 bonus to your CTH (not for each AP, but for ALL APs spent). Since the universal bonus is calculated near the end of the formula, the CTH bonus is almost entirely flat (meaning, an actual +25, unmitigated by anything else). Of course, with lower-end scopes, you'll get less of a bonus.
Good to know. I always though that the effective range to target would be reduced by nore then 7-8 tiles (sniper scope) so I used a laser on my sniper rifles. This turns out to be usless, since the maximum laser range(during day) of an AN/PEQ-2A is 30 tiles. 37-38 tiles is not the range at which my sniper team operates. Although the CORSAK might me usefull for russian rifles, and some closer range shooting (with the max day range of 52 tiles). Note: the stats reffer to the AIM mod.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

10x Scope + Rifle-Laser is possible on some weapons in some mods, and if the weapon is fast enough (especially semi-automatic) then it can be useful. Don't forget that the laser does work somewhat beyond its "best" operating range.
