At the moment insurgents are to weak infantry against inf., cause no scopes lack every pwerfull weapon, more then weak if US/UK come with APCs. Maybe it should be fixed to give people a chance against the enemy and not bunny chase as now?

Insurgents can win if they play properly.

I dont mean win for team (maybe because enemy always kill civilians), i mean playing as them is disadvantage and playing against is always like bunny chase with very good states at the end.
They need some better weapons, maybe/for sure RPG back.

Thats the point, they are not a conventional army and require different tactics and strategies to win the day.

Yes, but why the dont have anymore rpg, in iraq they have.
Also some SVDs would be good against uberzoom of every US/UK.

My point is, it should be harder then now.

There are RPGs everywhere, they don't need to be in a class, and if they are then they should only have 1 warhead, along with a rifle.

Where is everywhere, i never was destroyed in a warrior.
There is map insurg. against US, forget the name, there no any rpg for insurgents, as long as APCs dont play kamikaze they can kill all.

Maybe u think about militia?

There are RPGs.

If you were in a warrior and weren't taken, consider your self lucky.

For "Desert Storm" use mines and C4, in other words, take advantage of the actual storm!

no I have placed loads of RPGs, SVDs, PKM, AA kits and mosins(sp?) around the map. Have a look in small dug out bunkers and around the mosque etc, there are loads to be found. there is over 10 RPGs on the map, and thats not including the weapons that spawn in the ammo crates. Infact if the insurgents use the RPGs effectively they can easily take out all the enemys APCs.

Yeah, its funny, people defend ammo caches and ask for munition and weapons

Really, if u say, but i was never destroyed in warrior and never see one destroyed, someone should tell about RPG to insurgents. Or maybe it was luck.

O.k., what is with the map US against insurgents?

El_Vikingo · Post by **El_Vikingo** » 2007-07-24 22:54

"Desert Storm"
Formerly known as "Al Fallujah Region".

Hes not lying, Ive destroyed several Warriors on Al Basrah with RPGs (or use the Ambusher...). Create a local server, walk around Al Basrah, you'll find caches that contain RPGs, PKMs, SVDs and Mosins.

most likely the problem is new players, like yourself trying to work out where the kits are stashed around the maps. Once most of the players know it will become common knowledge

most people I've seen already worked out most spots

Agree Basrah is not as much fun for the insurgents now. I dont care who said what about it being unfair to the insurgents in .5! It was awesome everyone had a role to fill and more people used squads! In .6 the only good kit is the civilian all others pretty much suck compared to .5, I miss the mechanic,doctor,insurgent with grapple(It was more dangerous for the usmc that way) War vet with G3(Long range engagements) And the Police man(I prefer pumps over semi's anyday) God i hope the dev's bring back the old basrah one day with some of the new tweaks for now i play mestia!
