Anti tank

[Lazza66]

I can live with the fact that the anti tank class can sprint with 120Kg of kit on their back.

I can live with the fact that in BF2 one AT unit can do what in real life takes 3.

I can also live with the fact that in BF2 AT units can go from kneeling to prone without the need for physically removing a post, and fitting a tripod like in real life.

I can also live with the fact that the launch and flight dynamics are drastically at odds with real life for balance and playability.

But I cannot accept that an AT unit can lie under the rear or side of an APC launch the AT rocket into the APC destroying it immediately, and yet survive!

BS!

Re: Anti tank BS.

Not reallly...its hard enough to actually kill a freaking vehicle with the AT rocket and not actually just help another person lucky enough to have an AT rocket to get the kill. Yes, there are weak spots in an APC, for instance, if I hit your gas can mounted on the front of your APC, it will catch it on fire/destroy it. Also...is that insta-kill now? Didn't know that...thought tires were though.

But yet you can live with the fact that vehicles can DODGE an anti-tank missle simply by backing up?

Good lord. Wwitch shoes for a while and see what its like on the other side.

Spawn, hit it once, die. Rinse and repeat, and hell, if you're lucky you might get the kill, or if you get 2-3 into him, an assist. AT gets robbed on kill assists, dies all the freaking time, etc..

Nothing like having to guide a rocket at a tank/apc and have them blast you before it gets there. It can be a fun class when there's a group of you working together, but I'd bet to say that the armor has the better of this matchup.

People are crawling under you if you are sitting still and camping. I play both sides of it and enjoy the challenge when there are alot of AT on a server. Makes you play smart.

Re: Anti tank BS.

Yeah, the AT class gets owned a lot. I went 5 and 21 last night on Oman as AT... Mostly due to my inexperience with AT (and the 8 deaths from jets/helos because my team had no one in the sky), but aside from that, it's tough as AT - when you are taking out armor, not infantry.

Re: Anti tank BS.

I personally like people spawning as anti tank when im in armour :). When they fire at me, i back up : line up my site into the path of the eryx and little anti tank goes bye bye :)

awwwwwwwwwwww:cry:


little tip: When your in a lav, and you get hit twice with an eryx, sometimes it will start to bleep, jump out, have the wrench handy and spend 2-3 secs repairing it, and then jump in and get outta there. It will stop the thing blowing up:).You many get lucky you may not.

Re: Anti tank BS.

I play both engineer (armor whore) and AT alot and I don't think I've ever thought to myself "wow!, those AT guys sure are over powered"

Playing AT usually means you are going to get the smack laid down on you very often. I don't play it to "totally p0wnz0r" (and I don't either :p) I play it because sometimes nobody wants to to the dirty work and taking out that tank (or at least damaging it) is huge to my team even if I die doing it.

Don't me wrong sometimes kills fall in your lap, loaded jeep, hummer or helo just taking a casual drive around and BOOM!!! 3 or 4 kills. Taking out an AC with it is just gold Jerry....gold!

Re: Anti tank BS.

Fitting a tripod to what???

[LONGTRANGBILL]

Re: Anti tank BS.

I agree with schaef2k...for me its about helping the team...
And those sweet gifts of lesser vehicles loaded with enemy are so nice when using at...
Nobody should complain about any of the in game un-realistic physics when bs server 'roe' can tell you you can't hop,can't use every tool available (- cheating) to kill the freaking enemy...
Just my opinion

Re: Anti tank BS.

I love anti-tank, especially the DAO-12.

Re: Anti tank BS.

wow, thats some rant. Its a GAME! and yes us AT guys have by far the lower hand against tanks/APC's, even humvee's/vodniks! i play pretty much only AT, about 165 hours so far out of 185 and the fact that i have a kill/death ratio of 1.06 is pretty good for my class. (im sure others have higher but they are also using the class in jets/armours/commanders etc. but im pure infantry only, bar using taxi's to places generally..well sometimes tanks)
