Only in Battlefield 2...

[buybuybuy]

Only in BF2 do people get so emotional about not getting in a plane that they stand in front for a flattening death.

funny^

Only in bf2 are your sights perfectly calibrated nommatter what range or how little time between each aim...so perfectly calibrated that you can shoot a pilot out of a moving aircraft a feat tHats nearly impossible in real life because by the time you found range and calibrated perfectly...the aircraft would be 1000meters away from where youfound its range.

im pretty sure HEAT rounds were made for armor, Ive heard that they work 2 ways im not sure wich one is right. one is that the round would explode on impact, and then the plasma would go in and melt everything, and ive heard that the plasma wold melt a hole in the armor and then the round explodes inside. i think the second one would work very well on tanks, it would explode all the ammunition stored in the tanks. but I could be wrong what do i know right?

Pretty much all modern tank rounds are a variation of HEAT round. And yes, the M829A2 rounds were designed specifically to address the threats posed by a T-90 or T-80U tank, given their high level of protection provided the tanks by kontakt-5 Explosive Reactive Armor, and high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shaped charge rounds such as the M830.
The U.S. "acquires" enemy weapons and tests our weapons to develop exactly what is needed to kill them. I have trained in ADA against Hinds, Hooks, and Hoplites. The tankers train against enemy tanks to find weak spots and develop rounds to kill them.

Yes, they were made for armor (during WW2) but primarily for use from lower-velocity guns (i.e. shorter barrels). Most tanks have relatively long barrels and get much better penetration from sabot kinetic energy rounds (also developed during WW2) especially against modern reactive and composite armor.

Ive heard that they work 2 ways im not sure wich one is right. one is that the round would explode on impact, and then the plasma would go in and melt everything,

That's pretty much it. The only rounds I'm aware of that penetrate before exploding are battleship guns or bunker-busting artillery rounds or bombs. However:

A useful feature of DU is that it is pyrophoric; the heated fragments of the penetrator ignite after impact on contact with air, setting fire to fuel and/or ammunition in the target vehicle, thereby compensating for the lack of an explosive warhead in the penetrator.

They use them but not normally against other modern tanks. From your first link:

Increased size and changes to the armor of main battle tanks have reduced the usefulness of HEAT to a degree, by making the needed warhead size large enough to be no longer man portable. Today HEAT rounds are primarily used in shoulder-launched and in jeep- and helicopter-based missile systems. Tanks mostly use the more effective APFSDS rounds.

I think APFSDS or APFSDSDU have been the standard tank-vs.-tank rounds for at least 20 years.

We've gotten well off-topic so I won't post any more on this in this thread.

can you decide to change teams in the middle of the round

[waaah_wah]

so a HEAT round that shoots plasma combined with the explosion of the 120mm cant penatrate the armor?

Erm.. HEAT shoots plasma? Wtf? Im sure that a modern tank can survive a HEAT round impact from the side without taking too much damage. And no, the 120mm main gun on the abrams cant penetrate the main armor of the T90

Only in battlefield 2 can a soldier take 2 7.62mm sniper rounds to the head cause u have a damn ping of 192 !!

[waaah_wah]

Only in BF2 a guy can take a .50 cal round to the chest and keep fighting

[Leopardi]

Only in BF2 you have dangerous nade-storms, 64 guys throwing nades at 100m distance just like that.

[DOGGiE52]

Only in BF2 can you walk through bushes, having them sticking up through your chest.

[waaah_wah]

Only in Battlefield 2 does the best trained and best equipped army in the world (USMC) lose to terrorists repeatedly

And I am gonna beat any nub to the punch who says that happens every day as you don't know what your talking about.

[waaah_wah]

Erm.. Since when are MEC terrorists?

[socomsniper]

we already had a discussion about MEC bieng terrorists, so lets not have another one :p

[waaah_wah]

In Bf2, MEC are a conventional, well equipped army just like PLA and USMC. .
