I am fully aware of this and I don't see where I did say that I do judge the hit by the bullet wound.
I judge it by what I shoot at and that is, in the very most cases, the chamber from a good angle and distance on a stationary target.
I play tH since 2010.

I am referring to an obvious bug that reigned a while ago for many people that caused funny outcomes in the score screen, like intestines when it was a headshot (extreme example, but did happen for some people).

Damn, was hoping for details on this one. After buying it a while ago, it rose to one of my absolute favorites in the game.

Yeah I'm aware about the crappy inner organ mapping and wait for a fix (I consider it broken tbh) since... ever.
Since it is a bug, I would not be too hasty and exclude the game's ballistics from the source of possible problems, that is why I asked for some post-patch experience.
Might be too early anyways, just been a few days.

Hunting fever will strike again sooner or later anyways, nothing to prevent that.
So I will see for myself.
Thanks though!

Just as a side note, you mentioned you don't care, as long as it ends in a kill.
I do, for various reasons. Firstly, I just want more sim/realism aspects than gamey stuff, so an accurate ballistics and hit detection system is one of the most important things for me to enjoy this game.
Then, I do participate in custom competitions every once in a while, with custom rules, where you can win em§ or even memberships and I would just lose it if I would place a perfect shot on a possible winning animal, only to find it to be "intestines" in the end, ruining the harvest value because the wounded time was too high...

It happened to others participating in a competition I hosted a while ago.
