unrealistic ATGMs?

Post by waldov »

Lately Ive been really bugged by the BDRMs unrealistic portrayal in PR to the point ive decided to give some critical feedback on the whole BDRM situation in PR. Id like to start by stating that given engine limitations, time considerations, gameplay etc. ATGMs in PR at the current are generally realistic and are in need of no change but then when you come to the BDRM (a cold war favorite of mine) the way in which it missiles operate is totally unrealistic and essentially missing out on what could be a unique portrayal of a unique weapon specifically the 9K11 Malyutka or AT-3 Sagger.

The way in which you just line up the sights on your prey and guide the missile is totally unrealistic given the AT-3 is a MCLOS which for those who dont know means Manual command to line of sight. The real method in which this missile works is the user identify s his target through a periscope or such and then uses a joystick to move the missile to its target inflight by following the rockets flare and adjusting for it. Couldn't WASD move your periscope/vision around and the mouse move the missile inflight instead of both these elements being combined into one (Which is SCLOS or Semi-automatic command to line of sight such as the TOW etc.).

This is really the only problem I have with ATGMs in PR and even though it is slight i don't like to see the property's of a unique weapon completely altered. It would be nice to see this problem changed for the sake of realism and those of us who enjoy soviet technology and for those who cant relate to those of us who have a compassion for soviet weaponry the current portrayal of the BDRM is equivalent to having Blufors Hellfires T.V guided its a problem that would be nice to see removed but if there's more on the dish then i understand.

Shit! ironically enough i just realized PRs BDRM is using a later model soviet ATGM such as the AT-5 or such like well i guess you can close this thread now. stupid me. sorry for the inconvenience. The aftermath of a mans frustration at the lack of MCLOS weapons in the gaming world.
