Car bombing on Al basrah?
Good or bad idea?
You see people talk about it in the team chat but don't they ever think the rest of the team is going to hate them if the USMC start taking the CP's

There's nothing wrong with it providing you're using suicide cars, technicals or dirtbikes (suicide cars have a pack of C4 in the back seat) NOT SPAWNCARS.
It's extremely handy when some tank is pissing about south facility and you just come round the corner in a suicide car then BOOM.

I hate it when people diminish the spawn cars by turning them into suicide cars. I also don't like when people do it for the soul purpose of driving straight to the airport to blow up "stuff".
I think they are great for taking down tanks and APC's that are causing problems. I think we may see more of this once the RPG kits are not requestable.

The spawn car in the cargo plane won't be the same threat w/o RPGs but there is nothing to stop people from driving spawn cars.
You yell at them in team chat then you shoot them and tell the whole game why you just TK'd another fetal alcohol syndrome victim for the good of all mankind.
Move the spawn car from it's spawn spot so lackadaisical US hunters won't find it because they only check the regular spots.
Be a Spawn car tender...drive it into FAC, stay in driver seat to keep it from being moved and repair it w/ mech wrench to keep a spawn point alive inside FAC. That usually last 1-2 min unless there is a commander and good A10 pilots which reduce life expectancy to about 30 seconds.
Either way, a spawn point inside FAC during an attack can make all the difference because smart US teams use armor to guard S entrance and prevent reinforcement when the US is attack from the north.

Geez, I know all hiding spots for spawn cars, but the rest of the team is so dumb, that unless I could turn myself into a mow to dig to their position, there's no way, someone will take them out...
I usually go gunner on Cobra to hunt down the cars, but it just so happens, that the pilot is some vanilla-noVoIP-fly-by-myself-with-hydras-&-fuck-the-gunner noob...
Sometimes USMC clears all of the Facility and moves in to capture it, only to have 2/3 of Insurgents spawn back at a spawn car in the alley and jump over the wall...
Life expectancy in Vietnam was 15 minutes,but I can ensure you, that capping Facility and losing it right after can happen in less than 2 minutes...
I once took an APC and my gunner destroyed 3 spawn cars around the Facility, only the dumbass jumped out for repairs, when we were stuck at the ammo dump and a War vet took him out...then I had to abort and return back to base, since I had no gunner..
Insurgents brought new spawn cars in after 5-6 minutes, but at least we held Facility for 5 minutes straight...

I was driving this tank for some guy, he didn't use voip and was f***ing useless.
I'd scream to him "RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT" when ever I say the enemy on the right.
He'd just look left into the desert. He would also jump out for repairs while going at 45 km/h after we'd been hit by one RPG.
Oh yeah, he also kicked me out his squad, the tw@t!

Well, I have tried jihading an A10 or Cobra on ground on a live server...didnt succeed, Cobra in the air around the airport, just when you dont need it 
But doing it on a server with like 5 peeps fooling around, Ive found out, that it is possible, just ram the A10 and if you dont explode, jump out and detonate at once...lol

Back in BF42 I didn't (and still don't) know how to fly, but I'd have fun using the airplanes as ground vehicles. I'd MG guys (to the best of my ability, which wasn't much) and I'd drop a bomb when I was close enough to some tank.
I think it takes a while to get used to VoIP if you don't use it regularly. I found myself tuning it out, and it took a few yelps for me to realize my SL was talking to me. And also, when the SL uses some kind of shortened name, it makes it harder.
But yes, suiciding with the spawn car is annoying.

I'm still wondering why they are making L-AT into a limited kit. I love Project Reality, mostly for the cool real stuff and all, but also for the fact that they have RPGs.
If I can't get my fix here.. I saw a trailer of Point of Existence and I'm sure I saw a soldier holding an RPG launcher. I may just have to switch...
Also, though, more importantly; there are suicide bomber cars in Basrah? I've never come across any, even when starting with the map.

Hey hey hey, I don't just play Project Reality for the RPGs. I make a very nice living as a medic; my poor shooting skills aren't required that often, and there are often many people that need healing or reviving. I spend a lot of time as medic.eddie wrote:This is what the PR team hope to wipe out in 0.6![]()
It's just that when on certain maps, when I know that there's going to be armour about, and that noone else has taken the kit, that I take up the mantle of RPG Man. To be honest, unless I'm playing Insurgents RPG Gunner isn't a very fun class; after one shot, you're back to the rifle and you might as well have taken a more useful class.
(As an Insurgent... Well, I like to think that when I play as Insurgent, I can let my hair down and act like a crazy terrorist. Skewering infidel tanks on rockets of explodeyness, and perhaps soldiers if they sneak up on me. Hey, they surprised me, it's all they deserve! ¬_¬)
EDIT: Which is why I need to know where the suicide cars spawn on Al Basrah. Please tell me! There are infidels which need to be run over then explodified for irony's sake!
