Javelin- dont hurt me
Posted: 2010-01-12 22:06
Just played a round of Jabal and this hit me in the face, before a bullet did. Did a quick search and found nothing quite like this.
In the light of the new deployable AT-stations for FB's could the British and US forces get a Javelin, lying flat on a platform, then when 'entered' the user would appear in a seated position with the Javelin ready on his shoulder like you see if you type "javelin missile" into google.
It would finally get the weapon into the game without it being overpowering because everyone else has one and it is stationary and in this case for balance, not fire and forget.
If someone wants to put one up on the tallest mountain in Kashan and try to snipe MEC tanks what would be stopping them doing this with the TOW we're already getting.
The idea is that the user has to keep the target in the Brackets, fire, and guide in the missle which has been shot via the brackets, this way it could hit buildings, it would probably have to have only Direct fire mode, rather than Top down aswell, in this was its just the aesthetic value of having Javelin in-game.
The idea came because i was in the midst of a large firefight from the one side of the dam mountains across the river to the other with the =Merk= guys. Alot of fire was being put down from the 50.'s and people were shooting from the foxholes. The idea of a AT deplyable also added to the FB's already toughness was great and using this not only for AT but to hit enemy positions on the ridgeline i was looking at was a good one. Then i thought that the javelin model may be a bit more with the times, TOW is already used for the static base defences and Javelin is easier used and deployed so it may be a bit more realistic.
