Tank Whoring

[m0nsterm@sh]

I've seen a lot of angry posts about armour/chopper whoring, etc. I just want to add my two cents. Personally, I don't spend a ton of time in vehicles... I like face-to-face combat more.

As BF2 has showed us a well used tank and chopper can absolutely dominate a map-- for better or for worse. As fustrating as it is for me to get mowed down by a blackhawk or T-90 for 4 consecutive spawns, I respect it. A big piece of armor in a city battle or a chopper in a open map should dominate... I think that reflects their huge advantages in real combat. We just need to tweak a few other things (e.g. helicopters taking flags, better SAM missles, etc.) and I think it will be great.

Realism is the Great Balancer. - But this is BF2 arcade.

There is nothing balanced about realism. If this was realistic, before the USMC ground forced would go in the air would have a couple hours to pick off the enemy ground forces, and shoot down their jets while they are still on the ground (any that do get up would be shot down from 200 miles away from a target not on radar), and then the ground troops who didn't die would have to go up against infintry moving in with tanks and air support on call. There is nothing balanced about realism.

realism would be the wurst balancer ever !!

an AK weapon (mec and chinees) couldn't hit an elephant if it was standing in front of you.

one AT guy could mess up 10 guys at once with a misile and take everyting out in one shot

etc.....

I use any vehicle that I think will help out the battle and not being used.

THere is a Diffrence between Realism and Simulation.

Realism, Has a bit of Arcade For Balancing Issues.

Realism, would just allow you to fight, all the vech and weps would work and have reason. You could supress people, Tanks would be the biggest threat, yet the weakest at the same time. It would compleaty reverse this game.

But this game is not made for it, so the issues that arise from its arcadyness must stay. BF2 is made to be Mob fun, RVS shoot, cover move.

I just think a little more realism, would help this game out.

Realism in some areas could help, like making the M203 grenades two or three times more powerfull, that would stop people from using them up close so much. I think most other things in this game are fine though, all they need to work on is hit detection with vehicles and rockets.
