Re: The new n00btube

Well. I AT a lot because I don't like feeling helpless around armor and people are constantly moving in armor and watching their UAV screens so Spec Ops is not very effective against them.

It usually takes multiple hits to take out armor. So when I am plugging armor with my "noob tube" I am constantly jumping in and out of cover. Often, when I hop out of cover for that final "coup de grace" I am faced with a former APC passenger or the tank machine gunner, or sometimes the tank driver himself, running straight at me. Usually, I don't have time to change weapons and he either gets a rocket on his shoe laces, or he takes me out. Would you feel guilty shooting him with a rocket?

Re: The new n00btube

its a puff gun plain and simple, use it to take tanks not in an infantry battle.

Re: The new n00btube

personally i hate taking one in the face myself but...i think a lot of people myself included were trying to get their AT hours in and then 2 pathces ago AT was unplayable, now with the last patch its playable again so many are rushing to get their hours in before it's nerfed again.

Re: The new n00btube

Yes I can shoot an at guy while he is firing a missile and yes I can dodge the missile easy but im saying it's a cheap way of taking out infantry if it actually hits. at rocket was designed to take down armour not infantry

So basically this whole thread is you wanting to argue some academic point about how an AT rocket was intended to be used.

Have fun with that.

Re: The new n00btube

I seldom use it on infantry, and, if I do, it's only as a last resort to defend a flag or a sniper up high to help locate him or take him out. I play Karkand exclusively with AT so tank whores beware. I only wish in the next patch, they would kick up the power of the AT a notch, sometimes it takes 3 shots for even an APC.

Re: The new n00btube

So you are comparing the AT Rocket in BF2 to the AWP in CS? :laugh:
I was never able to dodge the AWP - but plenty of times I was able to jump over an AT rocket, then while the poor bastid was reloading, or switching to his poor smg/shotgun I'd put some big holes into his virtual body with ease.
There is no other class except the Engineer maybe that is as helpless as the AT when no rocket is in the tube, and he is attacked by an assault class over medium to far range.

In contrary to others I never had a problem with the new GL either. But that could be because I tend not to use it for targets that are at close proximity..

By reading your post I assume that you are not a very frequent AT player
Medic perhaps?:laugh:

I never said the AWM and AT-R were the same, just the mindset behind using them. If someone looks through the weapons on AT and sees, hey the pistol is weak but accurate, the smg is weak, fast firing, and semi-accurate. But hey the rocket is guided, long range,short range, and a 1 shot kill then they use it. Is that skill? No. Using the SMG to get kills would be much more skill based. Just like in CSS. Using say an M4 and blasting someone in the face across the map is skill not zooming in and shooting them anywhere above there feet for a one shot kill.

Oh and ive been AT plenty check my stats if you would like. dOiNk

Re: The new n00btube

Are shotguns cheap at close range?

Of course not and neither is the AT rocket. In fact, you can kill yourself with the AT rocket AND it is slower than a shotgun shell, so it is actually LESS cheap than a shotgun up close.

Far away, if someone shoots at you, you stand up and move two steps to the right and you are fine.

Anyone who thinks that the AT rocket is a noob toob or cheap in anyway is, quite frankly, just a moron.

Let me give you a little hint... it's called bazooka sniping

Re: The new n00btube

at rocket was designed to take down armour not infantry

lol but it dosnt even manage that very well

i know myself 100% if i see someone laying down more then 50 meters away its not the mp5 DAO or p90 im going to pull out it will be the AT rocket cheap meh i think not theres so many other things that suck in this game that being killed by a AT isnt one of them for me

Re: The new n00btube

The AT Rocket is the only thing we AT users have to defend ourselves in long range. It takes SKILL to hit someone with the AT if theyre not proning. Its quite easy: You see the guy is aiming at you with the AT Rocket, youre proning. If hes trying to shoot at you with the rocket it means that he has no other mechanism of defense, so STAND UP get closer to him and take him out with your carbine, or machine gun.

Personally, im a frequent AT user, I will only use the rocket to kill in medium-to-long range or when I'm out of ammo with the other guns. If I have the p90 then I will only use it when out of ammo. In previous patches the "noobt00b" had incredible power and splash damage. This rocket has no spalsh damage at all, you gotta be point blank. So, if youre getting killed by them then it is you who is the noob that probably stays prone like a sitting duck.

"BUT THE AT WAS MEANT TO TAKE OUT ARMOR!!!!:cry: " Look, I never read in the BF2 handbook that I couldnt kill infrantry with it.

Im sick of people who keep on whining about how things in this game should be change just cause they dont know how to use them and get constantly owned. (Like the never ending jet-overpower rant.) People DONT understand that in war there are certain areas that have an advantage over others. They think that everything has to be equal.

Watch this get nerfed, and its funny. Its the same b!tches that complain about DICE later with what theyve dont with the patch. WHY BLAME EM? WHEN ITS YOU WHO MAKES THEM CHANGE THIS GAME. This game needed to be fixed only in bugs and errors and only minimal nerfing. DICE does listen, but they listen to the crybabies.

Re: The new n00btube

I got my at rocket and shot he must of saw it coming so he hopped out and for some reason I went behind a fence for cover and I think doing that turned it towards him and hit him

No, most likely the Vodnik exploded, and killed the Sniper.......Dude, you start a thread about a Kit you probably know nothing about, how many hours have you played AT? I've got over 400...I'll agree, using the AT Rocket in CQC is a lame kill, but have you ever heard of RELOAD. Or, how the AT guy was chasing Armour and you just appeared out of knowhere? What, should I just let you kill me because I don't have an appropriate weapon ready to kill you with?

This thread is not News, therefore there is nothing constructive to add here, if you had of Searched the forums you would know that.

I think this rounds it up pretty well.
Let's let this thread disappear in the happy data nirvana.

Re: The new n00btube

I started a thread like this while back, all it turned out to be was a flame war. I have Exp. AT and I used my pistol for long range kills, and saved all my rockets so when armor rolled around.

Re: The new n00btube

Never really played AT that much, except for my vet badge, but I was forced to use the rockets for anti-personel uses when my MP5 or PP-19 ran out. What would you do use a handgun at point blank, hope so for my sake.
