Supply Crates

Re: Supply Crates

AT is my most played kit...

Yes, it's annoying when trying to take down a tank with a SC near it, but all that means is you have to use your noggin a bit.. Be sneeky, blow up the crate first, use your manouverability, don't run out right infront of the tank and expect go all Rambo and take it out one shot.

Place your shots carefully and think before you act and you'll do a lot better against tanks/APC's..

Not that my stats are great AT'ing but it's a kit you have to work at to use effectively..

Re: Supply Crates

Id like missle dmg increase

Re: Supply Crates

Maybe a little bit, but I like the skill behind taking on a tank one on one as AT and actually taking the armour whore down!

Rather than increase the damage make the rocket reload a little quicker?

Re: Supply Crates

Supply crates should only re-supply and heal, IMHO. Repairing is for engineers.

However, when faced with a tank + SC, I take out the SC first. Yes, the tank will be aware of you, but I find that if I stay concealed and zoom in on the tank, the driver will hear the lock warning and start swivelling his turret to find you. When he's turned away, shoot and scoot. Most of the time, I will survive to launch another couple of rounds before I die or kill the tank. If the driver doesn't swivel his turret around, he will probably deploy smoke, in which case you can launch into the smoke itself and score a hit without him seeing you.

Re: Supply Crates

Tanks are still very killable. Invinicible is a jet flying around not having to worry about worthless AA unless there happens to be a really good pilot on the other team that makes it his mission to take him out. I can think of plenty of ways to deal with a tank that is camping by supplies. Supply crates are fine how they are. It's all about teamwork.

Re: Supply Crates

What about when they sit beside eachother as engineers, I play AT 90% of the time and still cant kill these types of people. Doesnt matter how many times you hit the treads, I can take out supplies fairly well but some things do need changing Id say.

That would probably work too

Re: Supply Crates

Your better off having a suppy drop repairing you then a people.
People who are Eng in the server will not repair you, so you ask for a suppy drop, and you get repaired!

Re: Supply Crates

This whole thing was discussed really in depth a few months ago. It seems like the most common sense and logical thing to destroy the crate FIRST. However, this is not the case. I always wipe out the crate first, the tank is easy after that.

I sometimes find myself wondering what in the world people are thinking.

As you know sometimes it's not easy to take the crate out first, a smart tanker will shield the crate where possible. That being said, the crate shouldn't repair the Armour faster than I can reload. Basically, if I can't take out the crate, 3 or 4 missles into the Tracks should be enough to destroy it, but sadly most times it isn't.

Re: Supply Crates

if teh SRAW is modelled on a real weapon
i wonder if they are one shot kill in the real world ?
a lot of things are one shot kill in the REAL world
do we really want things like that ?

Re: Supply Crates

how many times do I repair my tank only to have someone on my own team come and steal my tank.... so not cool.

Easiest way of avoiding this is just to drive away from your team if you can and repair while hidden from view.

Also watch the mini map and if you see a team mate getting too close jump back in and drive away again until your back to full health.

I've hit jeeps with the anti tank weapons and they've survived. What's that all about?

Re: Supply Crates

See it as a challenge.

If you're AT, kill the crates first.
If you're not AT and you stumble across vehicles, kill the crates. One 'nade should do it. It's a good use for the assault's grenade launcher too.

Same goes for engies.
Shoot 'em.
Dead mechanics repair no tanks.

Wise words form a wise man, indeed!! *props

Re: Supply Crates

Give antitank grenades. That way, grenade for the crate, and missle for the tank. Its a very underpowered class anyways. Its my favorite though.

OR just use common sense and destroy the crate first. I dont really think you should have to waste a missle though.
