Noob questions

Hey there, newbie here, this mod is amazing, big kudos to the devs. Anyway, I have been playing for a couple of weeks mostly as a medic and I have some questions about the game dynamics, the manual doesn't talk in depht about the fighting dynamics. My questions are:

1) which class/kit can take out tanks?
2) are tanks immune to hand granades?
3) how do you take out choppers and jets?
4) who has the power to drop the craters with the kits? (I see that helicopters often drop them)
5) sometimes I see people dropping green bags in specific points, what are those for?

That's all for now, thanks in advance.

1) Heavy Anti Tank kit (HAT kit), multiple Light Anti Tank (LAT) rockets in the rear might damage a tank but is not advisable to do. Stationary TOW launchers are a big threat aswell (need to hold fire button for 5 seconds to launch TOW)
2) Yes
3) Anti Air kits (AA) a handheld Stinger or IGLA missile you need to lock on. Stationary AA emplacements. Machinegun fire and .50cals can damage choppers good.
4) Pilots can drop the crates to support the team, also the driver of a Logistic Truck can drop 2 crates.
5) Green bags can be ammo bags (small bags), ammo crates (green metal containers) or most likely what you mean, Rally Points (RP), this are temporary spawns for squadmembers only from which squadleader dropped that RP.
If you go to the spawnscreen you can see RP spawnpoints, assigned with a number referring to the squad it belongs to.

See you on the battlefield

Hey, you should check out the PR Manual from the PR Launcher. Just click the Manual button under the Play button and it will open it for you. It is really useful and it will help you A LOT to better understand the game.
Welcome to PR :)

hey there and welcome
first of all read the https://www.realitymod.com/manual/pr_manual.pdf

second just follow the squad leader's and don't be shy to ask them or ask question from your squad mate's around....!

thats how we learned the game...

jets and other CAS(close air support) are a big step for you if you started off with medic and then move on to CAS ...
no be patient a bit about jets and attack heli's

go training server for heli and vehicle test....

join CO-OP server's if you want to learn how heavy assets work...

good luck and i'll see ya on the Battlefield.

i play on HOG server most of the time... pay us a visit there :)

Thank you for the answers guys, really helpful.

I have another couple of questions if you don't mind:

1) Things like mortars and stationary TOW can only be deployed by squad leaders, right?
2) The dynamite that comes with the breacher kit is used for what?

1) Yes, within the range of a FOB and two heavy supply crates
2) To destroy FOBs and emplacements, it is time fused.

But it can be also used for destroying locked gates
