Javelin- dont hurt me

[Tarantula]

Just played a round of Jabal and this hit me in the face, before a bullet did. Did a quick search and found nothing quite like this.

In the light of the new deployable AT-stations for FB's could the British and US forces get a Javelin, lying flat on a platform, then when 'entered' the user would appear in a seated position with the Javelin ready on his shoulder like you see if you type "javelin missile" into google.

It would finally get the weapon into the game without it being overpowering because everyone else has one and it is stationary and in this case for balance, not fire and forget.

If someone wants to put one up on the tallest mountain in Kashan and try to snipe MEC tanks what would be stopping them doing this with the TOW we're already getting.

The idea is that the user has to keep the target in the Brackets, fire, and guide in the missle which has been shot via the brackets, this way it could hit buildings, it would probably have to have only Direct fire mode, rather than Top down aswell, in this was its just the aesthetic value of having Javelin in-game.

The idea came because i was in the midst of a large firefight from the one side of the dam mountains across the river to the other with the =Merk= guys. Alot of fire was being put down from the 50.'s and people were shooting from the foxholes. The idea of a AT deplyable also added to the FB's already toughness was great and using this not only for AT but to hit enemy positions on the ridgeline i was looking at was a good one. Then i thought that the javelin model may be a bit more with the times, TOW is already used for the static base defences and Javelin is easier used and deployed so it may be a bit more realistic.

Seems like a wast of time for something that will be exactly the same as a deployable tow.

Yeah the point of Javelin is top down atack, so it doesnt really matter if its in with straight attack...

[darklord63]

It would be cool, and this would be a way of putting it in the game without it being overpowered. It also could be in top down mode, because they did something similar in CA.

I really don't see what the poitn of having a Javelin ingame is if it doesn't have it's real life values.

And could anyone please elaborate as to how a Javelin would be "Overpowered", or more importantly how it would be bad for the game to include it. It's really getting on my nerves that.

Last time those darned "overpowered" Light MGs were implemented into PR people actually started using flanking, suppresive fire, and generally weren't as carefree with their lives than beforehand.

Not sure if I follow, but the Javelin you are suggesting is pretty much the same TOW we have right now right? (And the possible deployable TOW)?

I suppose this is a realism suggestion which in my humble opinion I don't think many people would "care" about haveing a Javelin instead of a TOW at a FOB (though I could see some people saying "Let's build some wires, a couple of foxholes and a Javelin to protect this are" Instead of "and a TOW to protect this are" - other words, javelin sounds better).

It`s not.. but we really have more important tasks to work on, like opfor assets.

This has been suggested many times.
