insurgency weapons

[illidur]

is it possible to change the kits available for requesting for one game mode? if so, why can a blufor request a hat on al basrah? or an aa on karbala? i know of very few tricks to successfully using a hat kit on insurgency. and most of the time its as usefull as using a log truck as solo transport. i would suggest taking the hat and aa off of insurgency all together. They are just not needed and do nothing but kill gameplay. sure it might be fun shooting hats/aa from hueys but i dont think that happens irl. if its just too much work or not possible due to bf2 i guess we're sol.

AA is senseless, thats true, but HAT is quite realistic, since rocketlaunchers are used to kill inf as well

[illidur]

does our army really use a heavy anti tank rocket against a truck, car or infantry irl? when a lat has better deviation and 1 hits it just the same. without the possibility of enemy getting it and 1 hitting your armor.... i realise you can't stop noobs from making dumb decisions but the aa atleast is pretty bad.

imo that would be fine. because personally i f***in love the M136 AT4, and the HAT or AA would just be something a noob would choose.

Actually I've seen a video on youtube (filmed by someone either attached to the squad or one of the soldiers himself) taken during a firefight somewhere in Iraq (after the "official" war) where one of the squads soldiers carries and lateron uses a Javelin. If you want I can try to find it again and post it here. Just mentioned it because a Javelin is truely some HAT. And I would say the HAT kit is not that useless in Insurgency. Ever seen some well entrenched Insurgents in a destructable building? Ever had a mate with HAT in your squad in such a situation? If not: Try it out...

The AA nevertheless is pretty useless. On this point I agree.

javelins are used as countersniper weapon as well

The SRAW is one of the greatest tools for destroying a cache in PR. On top of the gas station in Fallujah, in that little house thing, an SRAW put into that room will destroy a cache if its in there, no matter where the rocket lands inside. It is absolutely perfect for taking out the ones that are inside the apartment complexes as well.

Look on liveleak and the like for videos where the Javelin has been used in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are quite a few.

Also the SRAW has been converted for a more anti-building role while still having AT capabilities. Source

Separate sniper kit should be added to insurgents. As far as I know its not very rare in Iraq or Afganistan.

Yes yes and Alot.

When my cousin was in Afghan he saw alot of Javelins being used, mainly from the FSG Tower in Sangin.

An extra 1,300 of the lightweight, shoulder-mounted Javelin guided missiles are being sent to the front line in Afghanistan to top up stocks of the combat-proven weapon, where it is being used extensively by front line forces.

or a FPK rifle (Romania), right, strange enough, that its not the true iraqy SVD ripoff Al Kadesih, but a sniperized AK-47 rifle

Is it possible to make Javelins lock on to GLTD lazes?

[Herbiie]

Is it possible to make Javelins lock on to GLTD lazes?

that's not a half bad idea....


CA already has Top Attack mode xD

Is it possible to make Javelins lock on to GLTD lazes?

It is not a laser guided missile.

[Herbiie]

It is not a laser guided missile.

It can still lock onto targets can't it? Fire & Forget is a major part of it iirc

The fact that it's not a laser guided missile still applies. It's an IIR guided missile. Yes, the missile seeker "locks on" to the heat emitted by the target prior to launch. It does not have a laser seeker that locks onto the reflection of a laser emitted by a launch platform or standalone designator (GLTD).
