SRAW - 1, Eryx - 0.

[Daz]

I just noticed this today, as I started to play anti tank alot more ( the whole other team was spawn raping with tanks ) and I noticed that the Eryx does not have a cursor follow system like the SRAW. I cant belive they arent the same. Many times have i been trying to guide the missile and wondering why i am doing badly, and why it took me out of zoom mode once fired. It just fires straight and thats it. I mean what the hell. No wonder MEC and PLA get raped by tanks alot, Eryx = lose.

I don't know what you're on buddy, but the ERYX has guided flight.

1 - Click.
2 - Hold.
3 - Drag to target.

Works for me and I assume for the remaining 99% of players. Although I do dislike how the ERYX takes up slightly more space than the SRAW on screen.

Why would you have to hold it down when the SRAW does it normally. :S

Beacause the 1's and 0's are programmed that way.

They both can be guided but SRAW has more control. You can actually do some loops with the SRAW missiles

I've never noticed any difference between the Anti-Armor rockets, no matter the army.

Leading the target is a smart approach when it comes to these weapons as their velocity is slow. Aim at the vehicles front, and you'll probably get a decent hit in the middle. This may be why you feel that you miss.

Another issue might be the interpolation of the game when it lags. The rendered smoketrail is drawn straight if you lose a lot of packets or if the server is set beyond it's limit.

Whilst some may see it as an advantage on the SRAW that you don't have to hold down fire to guide it... this also means that when you die it doesn't just fly straight, as it follows where your corpse is now pointing.

With the Eryx, the fact you're no longer holding fire because you're dead means it DOES continue to fly straight after death, which hopefully means a hit.
