Vehicle borne ATGM's

Post by Archosaurus »

Would it not be possible to up the damage on ATGM's like the BMP-2's Konkurs, but give it a minute's reload time or something, so it can kill most things in one shot but if you miss you missed for good, like in real life?
Same thing for gun delivered ATGM's, loading times are fairly long.

Also, open top ATGM platforms like the Konkurs should require the vehicle to be traveling very slow to be able to load.

Right now its very silly to have to fire a burst of two ATGM's into everything and be able to dump all your missiles if you want. It makes the BMP-2 a ridiculously overpowered killer in my hands at least as even the Challenger 2 goes down in two shots, and you get four.

Thanks for the feedback, it's updated for next version:




As for gameplay, the BMP-2M ATGM front hit doesn't destroy a MBT instantly, but the chance of disabling it is high.

According to our MA the new fire delay would be alright aswell.

Some ATGM's makes you go completely blind when you fire it, it fills your entire screen with smoke. T-90 for example, it's impossible to track a moving target.
Wondering if that's something you guys are looking in to?

In my experience you are only blinded for the fist second or so, and even that is partly. You should always shoot above your target and then lead the missile into it, that way you will only be blinded momentarily.

Killed two Abrams over the course of about 10 seconds or so with a BMP-2. Two ATGMs per tank at range, they never even found out where we were. Did seem a bit OP, as soon as I killed them we high tailed out of there and rearmed at main.

Bear in mind that PR can't reflect the travel-time for missiles - A tank shell crosses 3km quite quickly, a missile takes quite a while. This removed means the disparity between missiles and tank main guns is smaller than it should be.

A lot of Merkavas were lost to ATGMs though, I'm not presuming they aren't effective.

Apparently the reason most western APC's don't include them on their turrets (i.e. Warrior) is that it's preferred to have dismounts use a HAT weapon instead. Whether PR should reflect this is anyones guess - I.e. the BMP has it's coax AT missile only because the team doesn't have a HAT kit, or vice-versa, the opposing team has one extra HAT kit per APC (for example).

I think it's a storage issue.

There is only one unforgivable lie That is the lie that says, This is the end, you are the conqueror, you have achieved it and now all that remains is to build walls higher and shelter behind them. Now, the lie says, the world is safe.? The Great Khan.

40k is deep like that.

The BTR-80 have night sights IRL but it's not issued in the game either. I guess it's for balancing issues.

BTR-80 doesnt (well it can, but the part isnt even on the model in PR), its the BTR-82, and 82A, and PR doesnt have night vision for anything.

Yeah, it's probably too have the NATO forces have the edge over the russians technology wise.

I guess you can fire the 2 missiles on the same side simultaneously or with short delay, so how about splitting the ATGM into 2sets of 2 with 10sec reload time in between?

This is still an issue with some vehicles such as the Type 98 imo. The first thing you see once the smoke is gone is the impact of the missile (on an average combat distance), there's no way to track a target and steer the ATGM into it.

I think you guys should definitely keep the effect but maybe reduce the time you're blinded to 1/2 of what it is now.
