Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

[IntensivCareBear]

ok, plenty of btr campers in karkand. nothing new... except that they take 3 SRAWS to kill instead of 2.... and even then they smoke for a while, giving the camper inside time to escape and try to find another one.

whos stupid idea was it to make a major base camping vehicle considerably tougher to kill?

the following is how many shots it should take to kill a BTR or LAV.

2 SRAWS, explodes instantly or after a second after second SRAW impact

2 tank shots, explodes INSTANTLY after the second tank shot. hell in real life a M1A2 shot at close range wouldnt even slow down at that range through a BTR, but since this is BF2 we need to make concessions.

if anybody influential at EA actually reads this forum (chances of this: -43 % ) then they will make BTRS back to how they used to be.

they still only require 2 to burn, you might just be experiencing the huge problem 1.2 has been having with actually counting AT shots.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure they didn't change vehicle HP's.

Probably not, but the synchronization between client and server has gotten substantially worse. The projectile you just fired may or may not have actually fired, despite that you can SEE it. And if you saw it hit, it may, or may not, have hit it's target. I've "seen" 2 bombs from a J-10 hit an M1, plus the third round from my tank was what it took to finally blow the thing up. Did all of that hit? I can't be sure, since the programmers that work on this game can't ensure good synchronization between client and server.

And no, it's not lag. In any other game, BF1942 included, you could have a ping of 150ms or greater and still have a decent gameplay experience. In BF2, whether you have a ping of 20ms and a super computer or not, the way the game communicates all of it's info between clients and the server is screwed up, badly. Ever wonder why you see 2 projectiles sometimes? Sometimes NO projectile? Or maybe you see a large explosion on a burning tank, but it doesn't die? Yep, the game is screwed, and that's why.

IRL 1 M1A2 Shot will kill ANYTHING immediately even from long range. If you have good aim, you can kill it immediately.
Oh, and the new patch is so buggy that it cannot even count to ****ing 5 so that is probably what is happening.

Hopefully the next patch will fix it. I think its just the disapering AT glitch.

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

I'm pretty sure different spots inflict different amounts of damage. The front being the worst place to hit it, a direct hit from the side being the best. I know I've seen APCs survive two rockets well before the patch.

I haven't noticed any change in the APC's ...are you sure there wasn't an engineer repairing? I know when I am playing in an organized squad and we get ahold of armor, we all go engineer and repair each other. That would explain 3 shots to kill an APC

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

depnds on where you hit it. you can take them down in 2 hits if you hit the right spot....they will smoke and flame a bit after the 2nd, but they will blow.

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

ok, ive got 15000 points and have probably killed about 700 BTR campers.

unfortunately, ive tested over the last few days, and it takes 3 SRAWS to blow a LAV/ BTR up, and 2 to make it smoke as 1 did before patch 1.2.

there is only one way to check, either play singleplayer and hit a btr, or play multiplayer.

yes, ive had DOZENS of disappearing sraws, but im POSITIVE that btrs/lavs take 3 sraws now, and its obviously stupid. i nail them twice and they drive away smoking. believe me, i can tell if my sraw disappears before it hits them or not.

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

missles went tru but didn't do any damage to the LAV
wtf !

[sarb]

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

they have some weakpoints...if you nail the weak points twice, it will begin to smoke/flame and then blow up.

[IntensivCareBear]

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

before when you hit them twice they blew up.....

TANKs take 3 sraws.... BTRS and LAVS always took 2....

i just confirmed on sharqi that they take 3 sraws to anywhere, including rear and side armor. complete bs. and then take long enough to blow up that they can be repaired, or have the scum escape from them.

Re: Why do BTRS take 3 sraws to kill now?

also depends on where you hit them
