Bullets.

 Um... I suggest that instead of when you shoot AK-47 and MP5 and steyer and stuff that the bullets dont curve downward but shoot straight and faster. Kinda like how you would shoot a real gun..more realistic..

no, this would drasticly change soldat and mm would never code it.

That was MM's intention, for the bullets to lose power after flying through a certain distance.  Keeps things realistic.

To easy, and spraying would get worser too. Also everyone is used to the curves so changing it would be a bad thing to do.
Soldat isn't soldat without the curved bullets. ;)

You do realise that bullets dont fly straight forward forever and ever, in Real (Realistic) life, bullets curves down cause of the laws of gravity as we (humans) know it. So it already Is realistic, and No that would just **** up soldat, no fun so to say...

Adding to what alwex said, the arc on bullets really adds a different degree to the gameplay.  Low-velocity bullet weapons, like the MP-5 and the USSOCOM, make it easy to rain bullets on camping fools when there's a low celing and you're out of bullets.  And, while we're on topic, can you truly call Soldat realistic in any sense of the word?
To sum up my point: We had a multipage debate about toilet padding. (Putting TP in the water so you don't get splashed.)
And we still don't know if dead guys can keep a stiffy.

Realistic bullets wouzld fall with such little distance. There is a bullet arc but this is just overegzagerated(?) and jumping two times of your height isnt realistic either , so soldat isnte very relistic ... no

Having an arc allows a little more strategy and takes more skill in how you fire.

You could make a mod, but like plonkoon said, the arc allows for different strategies, requires more skill, and also prevents so called "spraying", although I think that people who complain about Autos and spraying need to be shot and dragged behind a truck for a mile because they miss with their one hit wonder weapon.

Absolutely NOT. It would completely change soldat to the point where it isn't soldat anymore.

Skill with bullet trajectory is why Soldat is so popular.

Stop trying to mod the damn bullets! The only thing I would find acceptable is if you could change the bullet's color as like a registered feature like jet flames.

you are totally right, first they shoot, and when they miss, they nade dump, and then get killed because they still suck, then call it "spraying" when its actually skill and aiming,  spraying is when a person sees no target at all and is just shooting tryin to get a lucky ill because they have no life, simple as that  :)

Yeah, how easy long range sniper shots would be if they didnt eventually go downward, same with Machine Guns

this would be a horrific idea.  for example, MP5 users would have no defense againts sniper fire from a high trajectory other than to dodge and roll and to hopefully find cover.  It's the MP5's arc that allows the users to retaliate effectively.
