    Kit balance after the most recent patch.

    After the patch doesn't it seem like Anti-tank is even further weakend?
    Givin the recent tactic shift to grenades for indirect combat, I feel like the AT kit is very weak in most circumstances. Given the gameplay at the moment with all the grenades flying around I can't even get close enough to kill a ant. I love my Dao-12 but I die unless I am in CQC. I have tried the
    P-90 and other sub-machine guns for AT but they just dont perform to my liking. With the accuracy buff to LMG's support pwns the shizzle out of me.
    Dao-12 vs. PKM=Dead AT guy.

    I'm hopeing that some of you could help me change my perspective and offer some tips or things I might be overlooking.

    I play CSS too so that suggestion is out the window.

    when your AT, dont go in running around trying to shoot people. your job is to supress enemy armor and vehicle movement so the rest of your troops ( medics, assault, C4 ) can take points, or move to places easier.

    Even though with the DAO you feel like capping some bastards straight up the a55, first comes first, and that is TAKE OUT THE ARMOR.

    also... the P90 is only good for those who know how to use it.
    and if you need a clue, then try the "click click boom" tactic( for the more advanced players, and takes alot of practice ) which is 2 fast clicks with the mouse to injure the target, and two more to take him down. dont go out guns blazing thinking your a bada55 with that 10 pound anti-tank rocket on your back when your AT or youll find yourself up the freaking creek, butt naked without a paddle.

        i play anti tank, and its now more balanced than ever before. the MP5 actually is better than the dao 12, and the pp19 has been reduced from its "ak 101 with 45 round clip" status.

        the anti tank class has gotten better not worse, and if you think its worse than the other classes, play them. its your own lack of skill.

        excellent work at taking down the number 1 tank whore,c4 whore and all around loser volx, even with the newly balanced pp19! no shotgun noob style from you i see!

        thats a scene i see many times when i play AT, but i use the sraw for pkm whores, much more effective at long range.

        when i play AT my number one target is transport vehicles like humvees. second transport helicopters, third attack helicopters, fourth personnel, and fifth tanks and apcs.

        ill take out whatever i have the greatest chance of killing without being killed. if a tank is there, and ill likely be killed killing it, im leaving it alone and hiding behind cover.

        i dont have a "job." if the rest of my team wants to camp as sniper all round then they deserve to be tank whored by the other team.

          :)

          He always joins Australian servers for some reason, so I make it my mission to kill him :)

          Here he is again doing his rolling mid air PKM crap!



          I killed him about 8 times that night, one round he had a score of 14 - 2, those two deaths to my AK :)

          Fly Volx fly!

            Hey man don't worry about the AT kit so much. I was actually responding to another post about relatively the same topic earlier. You should maybe try another kit if you are getting owned using AT. Try being a medic. When I first started playing BF2 I always used the Assualt kit but I found the medic kit to be more fun and I got way more points.

            I love killing people with the Shock Paddles! So fun...they don't even see it coming!

              Funny cause thats a PP-19. When I stated I get owned by pkm sometimes in cqc I meant useing a dao. I prefer useing a shotgun, but grats on a nice kill :)

              MP5 is better than dao? I'll give it a try and take your word for it. Though I really love the CQC dominance the dao useally gives.

              Skill really isn't an issue. I just need to adapt so I can avoid all those nades some people throw. As well I already have the role of the kit down tightly. Really just asking for tactics or things you started doing differently after the recent patch to help me adapt more quickly.

                I prefer the P90, aim for the head and it's gameover. Shotguns are for people who can't hit the head in close combat and just spray around. Shotguns have a huge target at close range so any newbie can kill by just pumping and jumping, which is lame.

                    The stock AT weapons were given a big boost in 1.2, but not many people seem to be using them still.
