limit the RPG blast against infantry

Post by **Saobh** » 2007-05-21 12:53

The problem isn't the use of AT (light or heavy) against infantry in itself.
As once you've shot it, well you're pretty naked after that.

But what is abusive is having someone use it as their personal mega-exploding sniping rifle, taking a pot shot every 30' thanks to the ammo refill of a squad mate.

I've even had an infamous night where 2 maps in a row (Mao and Ejod) the game play was completely ruined as any tactical movements where blown a mile away from any action.

This is as cheap as using a hax, 1 person gets his childish fun while ruining it for 50 others. And this is not what this mod is about.

GROW UP IDIOT!!!

There is nothing realistic about having an enemy approach you CQ and aiming your RPG or noobtoob at the ground in front of you
(2 metres away) and firing.

I think you maybe need to grow up, calling people idiots.

Situation-

You go round a corner with your RPG and OH NO! a yank.

Do you-

1) fire your RPG and most likely kill the both of you.

OR

2) Think to yourself 'oh no I can't use the RPG, I guess I'll just let him shoot me'

Either way you'll be dead, why not take him with you?

In RL i know that a group of Royal Engineers were fired upon by one iraqi who they spent 5 hours trying to get him with the rifles so they fired 4 M72 LAWs at him.
I know i would do the same i value my life too much to run close to the guy and shoot him up close and personal.

Your "situation" is not what I'm talking about....your "situation" is fair enough.
I thought I made it fairly clear (but obviously not) I was talking about RPG and GL ....FESTS.

People are walking around in CQ with there GL's and RPG's out using it as a primary weapon, blah, blah, blah.....................
I've seriously had enough of this pointless jibber jabber,
We could argue and argue and post and post,
but I won't because it's futile and hopefully it will all be fixed soon enough.

GL in PR have greater kill radius than a tanks HEAT round(or almost same)and they are very accurate,i hope they will be removed completely in a future release.Most noob friendly and unrealistic weapon of PR imo.

About At weapons,the problem is not their kill radius but the quantity of AT class which is said to be fixed in 0.6.

this is about the RPG not the GL , and lots of ppl have GL's under there rifles .

Insurgents's RPGers have an RPG as they're primary weapon.

Would you pull out your pistol against a squad of USMC, or just take'em out with an RPG (Ingame Of course).

Give the RPG kit an Uzi or Ak47, and I can guarantee you, Ill save the RPG for the APC, thats coming to save you

On the other hand, if you watched the BHD movie, the Somalis used the RPGs a lot, even against one guy, like on those scenes, where the ranger falls down as the RPG blasts out the door next to him, or buries him under a pile of dirt, and he still lives...

So reduce splash damage for RPG and we're good to go..

LOL so wrong!.. you never played a pool shot with the nade launcher??? Bouncing it around courners???.only works in under 10m... best skills and use for the old GL.
Killing yourself = noob

what i dont like from the situation is this guy using the eryx with the full zoom, that is like a sniper rifle, and always with a full supplies of ammo, this ruin the game, cause he can kill you far away that you without really aim to you, just for the blast.

When i saw this thread i felt really guilty.....

I have been one of the worst rocket whores for the past weeks and have to admit that i have used the Heavy AT both on armour and infantry at a large scale...

If i see a group of 4-5 soldiers i try to hit the one in the center to get them all...

I actually got 932 points on Qwai River and 37 kill streak, just using the Haavy AT and pistol.

i stole ammo of destroyed APC's and vehicles after they where blown up...

Well.. you could call it a period thing.. i'm usually an AK-47 whoring guy, but for the time being i have enjoyed to mess around with everybody with Heavy AT... Sorry... i'm sure i will get over it soon....

Hmm, maybe an 'official RPG/AT/HAT crisis' thread is needed?

Seen a lot of threads like this over the past couple of days.
