Armour is too easy

Re: Armour is too easy

but that in the pubs ppl have got tired of getting pwn3d by tanks, & have come back w/ a vengance since the latest patch

Umm no offense to you, since ive played with you and your clan alot before, but umm you have 152k+ points playing in 'pubs' so why don't you just say people have got tired of being pwned by tanks instead of calling everyone pub people.

I mean its not like you spend all your time on private servers obviously due to your global score on ranked servers which are all btw...pubs...

Re: Armour is too easy

...Too many people play AT like it is an assualt class with a bazooka and then complain that they get picked off by tank/APC splash damage after the attack them at point blank range. Those missles are guided for a reason. Instead, try to play AT like an armor sniper. The tank or APC should be so far away that you can barely see it when you fire. Then as the now damaged armor swings the turret around at all the near by building corners, relocate, reload and fire again.

Well Said.
I had a great round on Karkand yesterday doing just that. Long range AT

Re: Armour is too easy

1 No it's not. If you hit it in the track it's a 2 shot. 1 shot (Disable) with Mounted TOW.

Yeah armor is perfectly balanced....2 shots to kill a tank (if you aren't a total noob), 2 for an apc...

And I don't know why they nerfed the tow....it was fine before.

Re: Armour is too easy

like other ppl said, the problem is the map, armor is fine like they are now, somehow I feel the anti-tank class kinda weak..

the granade inside a tank idea is great, also I love the disable vehicles damage, that will give a new role for AT, like delaying tanks and so on.

Re: Armour is too easy

Fatee magee- What your talking abour should be in ET:QW

As a tank "whore" I can tell you it's not karkand, it's the people clustering up at the hotel, alowing armour to reign terror on them from a distance. If there are a few AT guys spread around the city, especially if they have any smarts and work in teams of 2, the armour train will be over, or at the very least it will have to run away. Aside from working with another AT guy, please don't do the same thing stupid snipers do. If you've fired a missle, and theres a chance the armour noticed where it came from DO NO SHOOT FROM THE SAME PLACE. they might get a couple extra seconds of repair time, but if you fire from a totall different place, theres a better chance you'll survive, and give the armour some panic. Armour is fine, it's the AT users and the fact that everyones clustered at the hotel thats the problem.

Re: Armour is too easy

^ that's a dumb idea.

That would render armor useless.
Ever played as armor in a clan match on karkand? Trust me, it's hell. Your lock siren never stops if they have a good team. It's hard to take down 3 people before they have you dead. I know this rarely happens on pubs but EA/DICE are not going to change kit/vehicle balance just because people can't work together.

Agreed. Even if you are not AT when a tank/APC is around, if an AT guy dies - grab his pack and use it.. also throw grenades - they do a little damage. When 3-4 guys focus on a tank they take it out very quick.
And - boht sides have tank/APC - so you could always go tank-v-tank to take it out as well.

Re: Armour is too easy

Armor is only easy if people let it be easy. I can keep armor down the entire round by myself on Karkand and you know who bitches then? They people who thought using the tank could get them 50 kills.

Re: Armour is too easy

I dont think I'm the only one who's thought this in the past, but it seems to me far too easy to cruise around in an apc massacring people on maps like karkand. Some guys spend the whole feckin round in armour just sitting at spawn points takin you out before you have time to **** yourself. Now i have a suggestion that might make things a little more interesting. Sure in reality a tank/apc cannot be manned by one person, so why not institute a system where a tank/apc has a driver AND a gunner, like heli's. It would be a little more realistic, encourage more teamwork, and perhaps make it a little harder for those spawncampers to effectuate their deadly deeds. What do you guys think?

I personally don't like the idea of that if your having a problem with armour go AT and kill them. Or if your bored of raping the crap out of people with armour go kill other armour. That's basically all i ever do on any map with armour ill kill infantry if there there but ill be steaming around the map looking for other peaces of armour to kill primarily i consider doing that as a great service to your teammates your stoping them from getting raped.

Re: Armour is too easy

it doesn't take long to get a tank naked and in bed

i think you're right - they're too easy.

Re: Armour is too easy

For anyone saying the armour is too easy, it again depends on teamwork. Sometimes I've been in armour on the receiving end, or part of a team dishing out the damage, but if you've got a good squad, especially with voice comms, I've sometimes seen two or three, or even more missiles streaking towards one target at a time, guaranteeing that that armour is dead.

Re: Armour is too easy

Umm no offense to you, since ive played with you and your clan alot before, but umm you have 152k+ points playing in 'pubs' so why don't you just say people have got tired of being pwned by tanks instead of calling everyone pub people.

I mean its not like you spend all your time on private servers obviously due to your global score on ranked servers which are all btw...pubs...

I didn't call any 1 "pub ppl", & I am a "pub person" btw (didn't now it was a derrogatory term), & the only reason I know the difference in how scrims are played, & pubs are played is because I joined Team Precision (=P=) to scrim in CAL matches because I wanted "a little more"

So now I play on unranked servers regularly

We are 1-0 in 8v8, & 1-0 in 12v12 "regular season" so far:p

I am "designated" armour

So, to answer your question, ppl in Cal matches didn't get tired of getting pwn3d by tanks, because they never did, half the guys have been AT all along (thus the distinction)

I am still |SI| in the pubs, but I am =P= in CAL 8v8, & 12v12 matches, & neither clan has a problem w/ it

& no offense taking Alcorr, see ya' on the field buddy

peace:)

Re: Armour is too easy

using tank is not necessarily easy. Noob tankers DIES fast (even on Karkand). Especially those type that drives up and down the Karkand's alley way, they DIE fast.

In the end, it all comes down to skills. I may not die in a tank for the entire round at Karkand, but again I can rack up a 17/1 K/D ratio at Karkand with support or even medic if I am in the mood. Infantry can do plenty that tanks cannot. In the end, it's all balanced. Of course, you are going to die, fast, if you run up to a tank front on holding a C4. But that doesn';t mean tanks should be 1 shot kill from the front.

BTW, that one shot kill suggestion is probably the most ridiculous suggestion I have heard so far. If they are going to make tank one shot kill, they might as well as make it so tank shell can collapse buildings in Karkand so tankers can kill everyone without even getting into visual range.

Also, AT outranges tank on large maps like Dragon Valley.

Re: Armour is too easy

Easy? Hell no, what kind of servers have you been playing on? If you get in a tank on the Battlefield.no servers you must be prepared to be haunted by 5-10 AT guys all over you, it's far from easy to stay alive under that pressure.
