AAVP 40mm Grenade "Mortars"

I just had a critically EVIL thought.

Depending on how far the 40mm grenade launcher rounds go, Wouldn't you effectively be able to sit on a rearm point and spam automatic grenades whichever direction you choose to annihilate? I can see this happening on Muttrah, Just BVR-ing rounds freely around docks, laying waste anything it it's path.

Discuss.

The Mk19 overheats way too fast and you can't aim high enough up for them to act like a mortar, its just a lob and not quite a throw directly up.

Will it have limited ammo like the AT nest asset at FOBs?

Everything in PR has ammo.

Thats not including the quad cannon or the VADS

How many rounds will it be able to shoot throughout its lifetime?

Its not a deployable asset, its the main weapon on the AAVP7A1....

Still, how far out of view range can this be done?

Show us a video already!

The reticle has increments out to 800m but you can fire indirectly farther than that.

Does it have AP rounds? BTRs will love the AAVP if it doesnt

HEDP

high explosive dual purpose.

it's both HE and AP in one pretty much.

I often used the m203 as a mortar, Id just ask my SL to mark a target up to 300-350m and often hit it on first or 2nd shot

Part of what makes PR so great is the creativity in using some of the weapons systems. I remember when people would sit on top of caches with RPGs and someone would spot for them as they fired beyond visual range like a makeshift mortar system.

I guess ethically it may not be so good but it is kinda fun.

Ethically it's fine.

What exactly do we expect gamer ethics to be?

Break shit, Kill people?

I remember the good old days of RPG spam towards BLUFOR main on Al Basrah. That was some good fun! We'll see how the AAVs go, probably 2 years from now we'll be laughing about something similar

Are there any plants to put the Mark 19 on the Stryker?

That would be pretty OP'd especially on Insurgent maps, but it would be realistic to have one of every few Strykers spawn with one.

Yeah, definitely. But one map for sure that could benefit, would be Qwai River, the Stryker can't even damage the Chinese APC. (I think?)

Are there any plans to add an MCV Stryker variant?
