Tank Vid

I don't think this has been posted, but in any case I think this video is worth looking at.

- Adding a muzzle flash that big plus the smoke from either the barrel or the uprise from the ground.

Would be a slight nerf on the tank since right now your crosshair barely moves when you fire and you can keep track of the target very easily.

Moreso it's just a cool video to watch.

From the gunners POV, there is very little or no movement of the cross hairs. The M1A1/M1A2 are able to fire accurately while moving, because of this. Well, at least that's what I heard from someone who is in the army.

Re: Tank Vid

Yeah I agree that the tank is overpowered 'cause nobody wants to play as AT 'cause they dont get extra points for blowing up vehicles.

Yeah I was thinking about that earlier. I just came off of Karkand where I seriously played a MAJOR role in holding back all of the armor coming from the USMC. Thing is I didn't get any points because of it. I think AT should get AT LEAST +1 on every hit they get on any type of enemy vehicle. That's not outrageous is it??

That's a simple solution, for sure.

Ideally kill points would be awarded based on the % damage dealt by each player. So when a target dies, the system looks at everyone who did damage since it was healthy and awards a % of the points based on the corresponding % of damage.

I don't think so, its only 2 missiles to kill a tank...

That is your problem right there, you are playing for points more than anything else....Bad, bad little monkey. That is the problem with a lot of the changes made to this game. I can see now that people want changes because it will make it easier to get points. Stat whores are what is killing the game, not the patches.

That would be like saying that a sniper should get +1 for every shot they land, death or not. It's like work, you don't get paid until the job is done. You dont get the points until the enemy is dead. It is actually fine the way it is. And what is with wanting to nerf the tank all of a sudden? It aint supposed to be a 72 Ford Pinto for crying out loud.
The M1A1 Abrams is a 70 ton, 1500 horsepower battletank, not a minivan.

Actually I get paid for the number of hours I work. So your example is wrong. Just carrying the AT launcher should net me points.

The problem with AT is it takes at least two shoulder fired missiles to knock out a tank. Then add in the benifit of two APC's all stuffed with Engineers and rapid fire weapons and the poor little AT guy is FUBAR.

You should get more than the +1 for the kill assist, if it ever comes.

You should get a point every time you seriously damage a tank. I mean the number of times I've pumped all 5 missiles into a tank only to have it blow me away is annoying.

I'd SERIOUSLY like to see people get points for every tank hit. Imagine the AT whoring then. Especially as the poor AT guy is like the Assault guy, they don't get any bonus points for anything. Medics revive and heal, engineers repair, support resuply, AT and Assault ? Oh they get mowed down in their millions.

There would be a benifit for people to actually PLAY AT, instead of playing the other kits and avoiding tanks.

Re: Tank Vid

I think the problem is a lack of decent secondary weapons.

If medics and support get good firepower, why should AT?

Re: Tank Vid

Th example is not wrong, you wont have a job for long if you leave everything half assed. You cannot seriously say "Im working 37.8888 hours this week, because I feel like it". The example was to illustrate the point system, not be be analyzed and disproven as if it were a theory. But I digress, the AT is fine, it has a powerful shotgun that makes short work of an entire squad. The SRAW/ERYX is decent and can take out a tank in 2 shots, period. If it is taking you 5+ shots, I recommend using a different kit, or playing in a squad that displays some teamwork. No need to change something because it does not suit your personal gameplay style.
Technically, it is not s support funchion destroying armor. Resuppying ammunition, fixing a vehicle, or restoring health IS a support function.

Is that really the reason? I thought it was because the AT missle have a tendency to A) Go right through the Target, or B) Not fire at All. hmmm

For just hitting it? You have to be kidding.

No points for just "hitting" it. 4 pts if you actually take it down w/someone in it instead of the normal 2.
