What can I say? I didn't like Mercs 1. I disliked 2 more, if that's any consolation. I've just never liked games that go "Here is your M4, here is your AK-47, here is your RPK, here is your RPG-7, here is your ..." etc etc etc "now go slay an entire army while eating ludicrous amounts of bullets to the chest and head". I like variety, even with the free-roam, it still felt like an average run-n-gun third person shooter. So sue me.
Anyhow, back on topic.
I really think at least the Insurgents need this. The Militia have the BRDM with the Spandrel launchers, so they have their AT vehicle down; but, for medium-long range anti-tank engagements, the Insurgents rely almost solely on the RPG-7. Even if it's only one vehicle, I think they need a little bit of a surprise when it comes to AT warfare. Sure, it wont dent conventional MBT's very well, but it'd still be good against the APC/IFV's.
I think it should be an iron-sight only weapon; no scope of any kind. This will force it to still be within a moderate range to engage enemy vehicles, as opposed to the APC/IFV's which can zoom in. It would probably just end up camping an inner-city area, waiting for an Coalition APC/IFV to drive by, so it can hit it on its side/rear for maximum effect.
Just my thoughts, but I think it'd make a definite improvement over the Insurgency game mode.
