Re: Anti-Tank

I've killed 3 infantry with one AT missle, they were medic whoring... nice thing about killling people with the AT missle is they don't come back, unrevivable

see, thats a big plus right there :p ....but yes, a grenade or two wouldn't be too unrealistic

Re: Anti-Tank

We just need more engies laying down mines.

Thats the thing, the 'then' AT troops are now all Engineers. Since Engineers are now the only thing on foot that can take down armour, while the AT unit is only armed with a paper-maché launcher.

It's so sad... :cry: , I no longer see the awesome volley of AT missiles flying around me, protecting my squad from an incomming tank/apc...

Yeah... well- thats about the only thing the AT missile is good for nowadays: killing infantry.

Re: Anti-Tank

i think AT should keep its power against infantry, but be more effective (just slightly) against tanks.

AT should retain its old effectiveness (pre 1.2 patch) against tanks- where 2-3 missiles does the job, not 4 or 5. Also, AT missiles should be able to take down light transports with 1 missile, not 2.

Of course they should still be effective against infantry... after all, it's supposed to be a missile that's meant to blow sh1t up.

Know where to hit your targets. An SRAW can take out a tank in 2 hits if you are good.

Personally, I'm not too bothered about the AT's power against armour, with the advent of the patch, its now almost obligatory that you guide your missiles and hit the vulnerable areas. As to taking two missiles to take out a light transport, I find the best way of dealing with them is hitting them head-on, taking out their engine and the entire vehicle with one shot.

In regards to posts about the DAO ammo; I'd happily change some cartridges for a couple of grenades - I've only run out on a few occasions, and it doesnt take long to pick up some guy's kit or to find a friendly support class.

I've never minded the AT rocket power either. However, I've completely shelved the kit in 1.2 because of all of the hit detection, zoom/unzoom, reload loop, and magic disappearing rocket bugs. The AT kit is in sorry shape right now. Oh, and the P90 is just insulting.
