No love for AT kit

[Redink]

I don't think anyone have brought up a topic for this before but I've been wondering why the AT kit has the least sprint bar. I know... because he's got heavy gears on but still, what's not realistic in this game when you have parachute backpack.
I believe AT kit should have more sprint bar so that they can be a threat to tanks. I can't even catch up with one or try to sprint the corner to cut him off, instead I find myself huffing and wheezing for air watching the tank roll off into the sunset. I can't even run away from a tank after shooting him to go hide because I always end up walking in like 4 seconds then he speeds by and blows me to dust. No survival ability at all especially someone who is able to stand up to a behemoth.

I don't know about you, but when I'm anti-tank I'm usually no where near a tank when I blow them up. I'm a pretty good "AT-sniper" and I can hit them far enough away so that I can barely make them out. The low sprint bar isn't a problem for me.

Why would you be up close to them, anyway? The rocket has huge range, and you guide it yourself.

If I ground pound on Dragon Valley, I'm almost always AT. The trick there is to stay hidden and engage tanks from far away.

I think the sprint limit is intentional, to prevent one ATer from sprinting circles around a tank launching rocket after rocket into it.
Like others said, AT is best used at a distance from armor. You get a controlled shot, and time to hide afterwards to avoid retaliatory fire.
To me, spec-ops and engineers are the only ones who should engage a tank up close.

Yes but if you are playing kubra dam or dragon valley sure thats okay, but when you're in a tight ally buildings like city maps you dont really have a long clear view. The point is you just can't keep up with a tank.

Re: No love for AT kit

gotta hope someone else is AT too if you wonna kill tanks. I don't even waste my time with that crap cuz almost no one is AT and u need 3 rockets to kill a tank which is over half ur ammo and for what? One lousy kill. No thanks, land mines are more effective.

A lot of things do not make sense in bf2, and I think AT is on the lower end of that list to be honest.

Maybe it's because I play a lot of highway tampa, but I find it to be the exact opposite of what you said. On the server I play on (full 64 slot tampa) tanks and apcs don't stand a chance against infantry unless they're shooting at a base from really far away and use techniques to dodge AT rockets like poking themselves out from behind a building when they want to shoot.

Try to use height and cover whenever you can. Tanks are pretty easy to take out if you can buy yourself enough time.

Re: No love for AT kit

I think the kit is fine...decent SMG's and the AT rocket is a really effective anti-infantry weapon when you get used to it.

Re: No love for AT kit

Well yeah the AT kit is fine to be honest but my only concern is I'm suppose to hunt down tanks but how can I even catch up to one.

Re: No love for AT kit

AT is/was one of my most played kits. Its got the best of both worlds:

carbine with decent mag size.
AT rockets vs armor.
AT rockets for sniping nubs.

hah, after getting reset my new AT kdr is 47.0 :p

Haha, chopper whoring though right? 47 to 1 on the ground would be pure hackage.

Like two thousand more points and I get to unlock the P90, can't wait.

Re: No love for AT kit

P90 is overrated, stock SMG's are better.

Re: No love for AT kit

Pfft. I was playing with a sniper friend of mine and he got something like 51-2 in a round of Karkand. 50ish kill streak too.
