Just a clarification. The LAT is different than the insurgents RPG, correct?

EBODude

In my opinion, I think the RPG should be considered a L-AT.

mingmong

Hardly fair, as it throws the whole "you should engage the enemy with your rifle" argument out of the window.

Belhade

Some problems I forsee with that include AT ambush from high ground (shooting down onto a tank) and leading a tank in motion.

Well, then simply make it so that it can only lock onto vehicles and not personnel or terrain.

The RPG is a different weapon entirely. You have that and a pistol, not exactly the best choice of weaponry, but still. You also have 2 rounds with it, which you cant kill a tank with unless you get REALLY lucky. But I think similar rules should apply to it as far as anti-personnel. Dont go one one one with it. As an insurgent, you shouldnt be running around on the ground with it out anyway. You should be on rooftops shooting down at groups of them. Much easier and better for the team as you're bound to die less.

Its all restricted next version. The RPG appears twice on basrah as a pickup kit, it will become a rarity to see one.
In 0.6, engineer class seems the only way to spawn and kill a tank now for any side.

Just saying, I wouldnt argue too hard about it all when its changing anyway

That's the way it should be. I love being sneaky and placing 3 packs of C4 on a tank.

Since when did the engy get 3 packs of C4?

(edit)

The key diference I always saw between LAT and insurgent RPGs was the fact LAT had pretty much 0 deviation, whereas the RPG could easily miss a smallertarget merely by flying anywhere but the place you aimed.

The insurgents get 3 packs. IMO, 3 packs>2 RPGs

Fishw0rk

The ambusher class in .6 is the guy with C4 now and he only gets 2 packs. He can reload them and have a max of 4 (?) setup in game.

EBODude

Does he have a scoped rifle? Grenades?

Sabre_Tooth_Tigger

Scoped rifle is for riflemen I think and grenades, I dont think so.

Ambusher has mines, c4 & a shotgun - insurgent & militia mines do not ever display the red warning sign above them unlike normal forces but you still get the normal red sign at the sign of the screen that happens with friendly and hostile mines in every game.

I put a couple screen caps in the main 0.6 thread

If he picked up a US kit, there's really no qualms what so ever about using a LAT on infy, if you think of it as a situational decision. Who cares about wasting an expensive round on a nominal target, you just took the weapon off the corpse of an enemy.
