My problem is how come assaults rockets are more powerful against infantry when engineers rockets only do minimal damage. Its sounds like tossing a little rock kill people while tossing a big rock hardly do anything.

Its a balance issue. The engy rocket is meant to be used against armor, not as an infantry killer. Despite that, a direct hit with any AT weapon is an instagib.

Why use Rockets when you can use a SAWW?

I remember that screenshot you showed me when you used only a SAAW on a round of Gibraltar. That was hilarious.

I remember that too

It's a shame you can't use the SAAW to target air-bourne infantry - bunny-hoppers would get it right up the arse.

that would be awesome, but I guess we just have to deal with laughing as the bunnyhoppers go flying because of nades.

The 11th would be totally screwed, haha. As soon as they spawn a female synthetic voice says: "Warning. Missile lock detected."

Interesting concept. Would give him more of a roll on maps with few/no vehicles.

well if they are heat seaking missiles then heck yeah you should target them its not your grandpa's WW2 game that's for sure.

lol i just laugh when people bunny hop me and i shotgun or pilum them in the face.

Anyway I agree rockets have there place in this game.. i sometimes get a tad annoyed when im in the open and 3 people shoot rockets at me when im 15 feet away.

Seems a bit of a waste to me because they can just shoot me normally

**FrozenInferno** · 09-17-2009, 12:18 AM

If people are shooting you with rockets at 15m then they must be stupid since rockets only explode starting at 20m

**Mercenary90** · 09-17-2009, 12:35 AM

Actually, if they are 15 feet away, that's about 4-5 metres.

Direct hits cause damage. So they're probably just showing off their skill.
