Light AT delay

To help tune down the spam, might add that there should be a deployment delay (like the heavy AT but less time). America's Army has a nice animation for deploying At4s

If more deployment delay is added then more strength should be added too

More strength? I'd rather keep it as it is if changing it means making
it more powerful! That would not only be unrealistic , it would increase
the spam. And yes a delay should be added and filled in with an animation of the soldier pulling it off his back and shouldering it. I've currently
seen no LAT spam TBH though , since it doesn't have that much splash
damage compared to HAT. LAT's are all armor piercing and quite more
realistic as to their projectiles than their heavier counterparts.
That's leaving the insurgent RPG out as it's quite much good for both
infantry and vehicles as far as I've observed.

Brand new deploy animations for all L-AT's in 0.8.

Example : When the AT4 is deployed, the user flicks back both front/back post covers and extends the tube etc. You can't fire until it's done.

Great, Nerf LAT even more, that's exactly what it needed.

Animation sounds cool. If you havent noticed there is a slight delay on firing LAT anyway

yea it feels some what retarded to just switch to lat and fire after 2 second delay
but I think these things are hard to completely simulate in game. Could you not prepare a lat and then use your rifle and then when possibility appears just pic up that already prepared lat and shoot.
