The Anti-Tank Shortage: When do you play AT?

Re: The Anti-Tank Shortage: When do you play AT?

The AT weapons are pathetic...SMG's are inaccurate as hell, and the DAO is a boring gimmick weapon. Also, AT rockets don't do nearly enough damage to tanks and jeeps...There is NOTHING that is more annoying than directly hitting a Hummvee with an AT rocket and only setting it on fire, giving the passengers plenty of time to jump out and kill you with their carbines.

Boring gimpic weapon??

I'd beg ta differ. I find it to be a true brute of a weapon. Get people up close and ya make 'em dead. It's fuggin GREAT against bunnies too. Hop all ya want... all I have to do is point in your general direction and pull the trigger till it goes "click".

I think Talus managed to very nicely sum up why people don't use the kit. It's a challange and people aren't interested in that. They want fast points and easy kills.

A hundred played hours or so ago, I was ranked in the 900's for AT. I love that class, and took it to Expert. Now I'm working towards Expert on Assault, then I'll try Medic. That being said, I can recognize when our team is getting pounded by the heavy hitters and have no problem switching over to AT to break a stalemate.

Re: The Anti-Tank Shortage: When do you play AT?

I play it once in awhile when I notice a shortage of others taking the kit, and when I do, I have no problems racking up points.. I'm very good with the guided rockets, and they can be useful against infantry, too. Keeping note that a rocket kill is a kill, not critically wounding..

Re: The Anti-Tank Shortage: When do you play AT?

That's a good point. I think AT is prolly the most often "switched to" kit. Lots of folks won't take it until they've been blown away by some armour. Then you end up with 6 guys with AT and no medics, support, or anything else. :p

Hence choice #2. It also means that armor etc. get some free playtime until dead folks are able to respawn and use the AT rocket.

Re: The Anti-Tank Shortage: When do you play AT?

..and since most of these people end up being no good at using the AT kit, that particular control point nearly always falls.

The truth is, C4 often does the job a lot better, and you get a decent primary weapon if you play spec ops.

Aye Talus 'n Var.
I personally try to see it coming and arm up with AT before the armoured crap hit's the fan.

Last nights session involved a map (Surge?) where the SAS have to cross a particular bridge in order to attack Rebel CPs. I knew full well that controlling that bridge would be a big deal for our team... so I took AT (RPGs baby!) and went directly to a covered location overlooking said bridge. I had 2 other guys in the squad with AT. We did some nasty damage before the enemy gave up on trying to roll their armour.
Mission accomplished.

Y'sai, the berst wea t'kno if you should play a certain kait is boy checking, with the 'Tab' key, if there is already a certain amount of that kit already existing or being utilised, also, you have to take in the factor of, where a certain heavily/lightly-armored vehicle is heading, how many defense there are prepared for it and I guess there's one mo factor butt, haha...butt, butt butt butt I can't remember what it is. Often, it is several things, I like to typ f0nkeh.
