Will DAO-3 make Anti-Tank interesting?

[iambananas]

Well, the thruth is I never play anti-tank, but it does seem like a lot of fun. Also, I need my basic anti-tank combat badge. But my question is this: Should I unlock the DAO-3 or the G3? I rarely play assault or anti-tank, but perhaps I would if I got a new gun. And what class (With the upgrade) will give me the best K : D ratio? (I'm assuming assault)

EDIT: I am pretty sure the DAO has a different number after it, but you get my point. No need for flaming

Personally I like the G3 better (partially because I abhor noob toobing, your call there) and it is going to be improved (i hope) in the next patch.

The DAO, however, is worshipped for a good reason. It really makes the AT kit useful, and you may find yourself playing it much more often. The assault kit doesn't really have so much importance when it comes to teamplay, being able to spawn as an AT and take out the armored threat and not have to worry about infantry rocking your world is a nice asset.

Go with the DAO, IMO.

DAO DAO!!! This gun will rock your world. It is my favorite gun in the whole game. You have to play differently when using it...ie. use cover to get close to enemy, then BLAM BLAM dead....

A-T is a very real threat to anything moving except jets....no more Oh crap here comes a tank! Just A-T missile em in the treads!

The DAO is definitely the best upgrade of any unlock in the game. The M5 or 7. . .whatever, is useless at all ranges. The DAo might be useless at long/long medium ranges. . . but up close no other non-shotty has a chance.

The DAO is insane at close range, and you can use the AT rocket to take out people at long range. I unlocked the G3 and have hardly used it, theres very little, if any improvement over the assaults normal rifle while the DAO is on a different planet to the MP5.

On top of that, with the AT you can shoo away choppers, take out jeeps full of people with ease, and knock tanks out with 2 shots.

Its an awesome kit.

Love that concept: 'shooing away choppers...' I do it all the time. All they hear is a big "CLUNK" then their armor is suddenly halved. Then, its: "Shoo chopper, dont booooother me..."

I'd never play anti-tank if I had to use the SMGs. The DAO-12 is the grim reaper of CQC.

DAO is very good to have. Very handy in Anti-Tanking. You can survive point blank attacks of infantry and even go on the offensive in close quarters. Heck, earlier today, I knew an infantry was hiding in the buildings SW of the NW flag in Karkand. I ran up and saw him. I fired a few rounds of the DAO into him. What I didn't realize is, there was ANOTHER infantry far behind him prone and hiding. I managed to kill him too in the process...they were perfectly lined up, heh.

I love the DOA when I have to use it. It certainly makes the AT kit easier to play when you're dealing with troops as well as armour. The G3 is one of my fav unlocks though and will treat you well if you use it right. If like me you only really use AT for defence then maybe consider the G3 first.

G3 is mediocre - but that's why they're improving it. The DAO-12 is more valuable to AT than the G3 is to Assault.

I personally have 45 hours with the AT kit. I use the DAO-12 extensively, rely on it to defend myself, and still feel guilty getting so many kills with it.:p
