Anti tank

Re: Anti tank BS.

That's a really good idea BlueBunny. It would also promote teamwork.

Re: Anti tank BS.

Don't think anybody mentioned this, but the OP claims that anti-tank rockets are overpowered compared to real life. That's the part that struck me as being totally on crack.

IRL, those USMC A/T rockets are one-shot killers on any Soviet-era tanks, especially the T72. Read that again: 1-shot kill. Not three shots, and maybe you'll get lucky, not five shots if the guy's parked near a crate. One shot, and any hit in or over the center of the tank... *poof* the turret does a frying-pan flip into the air.

A fix I'd really like to see is giving the tanks and APCs separate driver and gunner positions. That would cut down on the armor whoring massively, plus it would bring armor into alignment with all the other vehicles, like attack choppers, vodniks, jeeps, and boats, all of which need two players to move and shoot their main gun simultaneously.

As it is, giving the most heavily-armored vehicles in the game the unique capability of being able to drive and fire the main gun with only one player onboard, is much of the source of how overpowered they are, and why those slimeball tactics like spawn camping with armor make so many players fly into a rage.

Re: Anti tank BS.

Dude no holy crap the AT kit is awesome. I got like 30 points in the first half of a match, but then the game crashed :cry: but seriously it's actually pretty easy to kill tanks. Doesn't even take much practice. The SMG is actually pretty good, you just need to know how to use it. So all the tank whores complaining, do yourself a favor and stop breathing.

I would like to see 2 mouse setup I can use mouse with both hands free (born lefthand user) but how to control keyboard? with legs?

Well you just won't be able to control more things. As in reallife. Just what two mice or two track balls and the buttons on them would allow. You'd have to take you hand off your virtual weapon to do some things. Which things would be up to how you map your keys.

It's just a thought I've always had when people start throwing around the realism hot potato. Since there are never two cursors in any O.S I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

The better I get at AT though I do have some feelings for those in tanks. If I can get a few rounds in (poorly placed ones) early, from long range as they approach I can deal with tanks to certain degree on some maps.

I don't find it the hardest kit probably because I gravitated to it immediately. But I suppose with the zoomed views on a second weapon and no nades, it could be the hardest to figure out, simply because it has more elements to it. Albeit only one or two.

Re: Anti tank BS.

eurgh, nobody's ever happy are they? last week someone complains AT isn't strong enough and now this. i personally believe it isn't strong enough..

Re: Anti tank BS.

AT overpower!!!! WTH, are you on crack. One shot from the cannon, AT dead, One shot from machine gun that’s fixed at head level, AT dead. Explosive rounds from APC killing people that are hiding, 2-3 shots while APC takes no damage. 3-5 shots from AT at tank, Maybe it will die, if there isn't a gay supply crate sitting close by. For those armor whores who think the AT is overpowering, get out of the tank and use it then, stop tank whoring.

The AT is a great kit, I have gone 25-10 with this kit and not using the missiles as sniper. The P90 is great gun, if used correctly. Single shot is very accurate but low damage. Up close the burst fire rate cant be beat.

So to all the tank whores out there, STFU and die a fiery death in your metal coffin. MUHAHAHAHHA

Re: Anti tank BS.

While for the most part I agree AT is NOT overpowered... I do think vehicle explosions should be a little more splashy, so when one is one fire and about to blow, you need to clear the area or suffer serious damage.

Re: Anti tank BS.

Its catch 22 m8 if they increase splash so he takes damage when he fires half a foot away from your apc..
AT class will then become god like with there one shot multi death kill.. as it as uber splah damage.(think noob tube but with sniper precision.)

*a little off topic *
Id love to see it so if u blast a rocket into a room everything gets killed or at least comes out the room dazed as hell and missing a few vital body parts..

But the way the battle field engine works if u make it have splash to that degree...whats stopping someone firing it at the feet of a squad out in no mans land and just take them all out...

Re: Anti tank BS.

ya we all know how overpowered AT is right ?

Re: Anti tank BS.

OK... I've heard enough...lol...how do unsubscribe from this thread...

Re: Anti tank BS.

I can live with the fact that medics and support can throw infinite bags of supplies at friendly troops.

I can live with the fact that snipers have indestructible claymores that don't kill friendlies.

I can live with the fact that the AT sumbachineguns suck major balls.

But I can't live with the fact that people complain about the hardest class to master, while they sit in their armor he whole round and spawncamp.

BS!

Damn right.

last month I started playing with jets a lot.. now I prefer fighterjet as antitank kit.. if the sky is relatively clear its very fun to bomb tanks.. even if my bombs werent accurate enough usually it will damage armor enough.. so teammates on ground can take enemy with 1-2 AT shots..
sometimes Im going to bomb tanks under my flags even if enemy fighter is following in tail.. half cases it will end up sadly but who cares..

if im in groundforce I most times go with the C4 or try to send TOW into tracks.. kamikaze tactics is also very efficient if teammates are running all as support, medics and snipers.. even if kamikazes is not good for my score it will avoid enemy armor rapeing sh1t out from my team..and this way win the match or at least avoid them simply overrunning my team

Re: Anti tank BS.

I waiting for a shooter that has two mice involved in it. One for the forward post of an iron sight , one for the rear peep hole. That would be realisitc.

Damn that would be complicated, I'm not sure I'd hit anything playing like that.

I think the most annoying thing about AT in general is if you are playing another class and get killed near a spawn point that's being attacked by a load of vehicles, you respawn as AT and find that they'll all gone. Bah.

The most fun thing is taking out buggies - nothing more satisfying than getting 3 kills as some muppet drives straight at you. Then again, taking aim at a full, smoking blackhawk...sweet. Of course, I generally get over-excited and c**k it up, either missing or hitting a passenger so getting one miserly kill instead of a full chopper.

Re: Anti tank BS.

I've done it all, this is why I stick to the jets, the best tank buster around. Also, I had to learn to defend myself from other jets while trying to take out tanks from the sky.
