Yeah, was just trying to better explain it. Was going to change the emphasis on “freezing point” after I added hail, but didn’t. That being said, hail still requires the cloud layer to be below freezing point. :]
Roughly an F0 tornado then (the Beaufort scale doesn’t use the Enhanced Fujita scale). Fujita scale is just rough estimates and not that accurate, so if I do mention tornadoes again I’ll assume it’s just an EF0 instead.
lvl 1 : calm
Few rain
Some wind ( type 2 on beaufort scale ) , leaves , sailing boats , windturbines and flags not affected , no bullet affected
Some snow ( majority disappear when hitting ground )
No Hail, no sandstorm and no lightning bolts
lvl 2 : Medium
Light gray sky, more rain, small puddles
More windy , type 5 on beaufort scale, flags , sailing boats and leaves affected, wind turbines at low power, bullet are affected by wind
More snow with a White sky, snow stay on ground
Tiny hails, kinda like snow, player suffer no damage
A bit of dust and sand, no effect on player
No lightning bolts
lvl 3 : uh-oh
Dark grayish sky, a lot of rain, large puddles
Heavy winds, type 7 on beaufort scale, flags and leaves heavily affected, trees a bit affected, wind sound everywhere, wind turbine produce max energy , bullets will almost alway fail to hit target due to wind
snowy, hard to move, vehicles impossible to control without snow tires, visibility bad and medium turbulences in the airs
medium hailstorm, few damages to players, damage weak glasses, damage light aircraft
medium sandstorm, max oxygen reduced by 25 % during the storm, visibility bad
Few lightning bolts
lvl 4 : hurry up, let’s hide
too much rain, floods near water, almost black sky, sometimes fully dark, very large puddles
heavy wind, trees ( except larges ones like redwood trees ) , flag poles and small power lines fall , windturbines stop to function, wind may push the player, player may fall sometimes. Heavy turbulences in aircrafts, if you manage to hit your target, your Clint eastwood
blizzard, snow covering everything, hard to Drive even with snow tires ( you will need snow mobile ) , no visibility
Heavy Hail storm , Hail may kill very fast, it damage everything except metals and high tier materials. Heavily damaging aircrafts, even larges ones as airliners , break all glasses.
Sandstorm, -75 % oxygen during the sandstorm, progressively losing health if not inside a building, vehicles engines and batteries damaged, electricity systems not working well.
many lightning bolts, thunder bolts .
I like the idea of flying from point A to point B in a plane or something when this massive storm comes out of nowhere and you have to land at a slippery airport under heavy crosswinds. That would be pretty cool to see implemented.
