Well I wont respond to your INSANITY!  But someone will.  I like taking someone out some at a rediciulous range with an AT round.  And those of you who whine Rules of Engagement can kiss my 30yr old ass. 

The idea has probably tossed around but armor/air kills need to merit more points if you use an AT round.  Hell maybe they do, I donno some 9 year old will yell NOOB and tell me.  All I know is that I put down some key armor on the other side and in my HEROICS get about 30 points at the end of the round.

The only thing that pisses me off about AT, is that most support guys don't realize they can drop ammo bags! Every once in a while I'll find a support guy who realizes he can rack up some points if he follows me around. Mostly it's either no support guys or a couple that you run up to hitting "Need Ammo!" and they look at you like you're speaking fucking Klingon and run off. Man, support guys piss me off.

Nothing better than shooting an APC and watching the turret spin around and him shoot wildly at everything and then shooting him from on top of a building.

Anti-Tank score, no vehicle kills.  BTW, Nefariouz (thx for the revives ) was mostly medic working with me, colony (the enemy top score) was only medic and a little Assault.  Anti-Tank FTW


Now if only AT had some med bags.......
LOL, i was on that server! its not on the list because i was just about ready to leave. you guys were being fucking medic whores on night flight =P

I love my AT kit, its my most played kit already got 300+ hours with it.
You just need to be smarter then the guys in the tank and drive them crazy with a never ending locksignal.
After 2 good hits most of them leave the tank and bail leaving their toys for the take .
After that just take them out with the good old DAO and pump their bodies with lead.
When i am squadleader and my team is being raped by a tank i always tell the guys to spawn back at me as AT, after that the tank is a gonner.
6 AT.... no way in hell you are gonna survive that

I love the AT kit...On SF, oh wait you dont' play SF, well thats too bad..

Hell you can actually hide and hit with the RPG-7 without it blaring out that you have the tank in your sites so he can smoke or do the turret turn. The RPG-7 is the hit and run weapon, those that have mastered it can lead thier infantry targets and "snipe" with it. The RPG-7 stands for "Really Powerful Grenade (or Gun) 7 times powerful than your pistol. And it seems to me it can get a tank in 2 hits rather than 3 that the SRAW or ERYX puts out.

Anti-Tank should be called the anti-everything kit.  Think about it, you have 1) the best CQC weapon in the game, 2) the best sniper rifle in the game that kills vehicles, 3) body armor, and in SF 4) a Grapple hook.

I will regularly compete with the jet/chopper whores lone wolfing on the ground using nothing but the DAO and AT rocket, with the only vehicle use being jeeps for transport.
My current challenge is to play the Armored Fury maps without using any of the amour or air units... It's certainly a challenge, but a lot of fun!

You can destroy a tank faster as a Spec-Ops than as an Anti-Tank.
Spec ops are useless against any tanker with half a brain. If you can creep up and C4 a tank, it's because they were stupid enough to let you. At any sort of range C4 is useless, while the AT rocket can kill even beyond visual range.

Anyway, yes it is hilarious watching all the snipers continuously respawning on Gulf of Oman... The keywords being "continuously" and "respawning"...

Body Armor?? I didnt' know any pixel had body armor! Please tell! (more of a joke for the kids that cant read between the lines)

Spec Ops do the Derka-Derka, but 9-10 times they kill themselves in the process, usually when there is a tank there are alot of people around them.

The only real way to take out armor is "Jihad jeeping"

EA, in their ROE have said that Jihad Jeeping is against the ROE and will end in a stats reset

WHAT.THE.FUCK.

If you want this rule to be enforced your wang nibblers how about you make the SRAW/ERYX decent so we can actually do some damage with it....

Are you so retarded that you don't play your game, just police it..

Jihad jeeping isn't actually against the rules. If a particular server chooses to disallow it, they can, but EA never made a rule against it. They just say that servers are allowed to ban it.
Not saying I like the ROE, of course, but hey, it never disallows jeeping.


And um, anti tank. I like anti tank. Anti tank guys are the people who save me when tanks are coming to kill me, so I can go kill infantry. Hooray for friendly anti tank dudes. The world needs more of them.

Do you have to die for it to be a jihad jeep? I always get out and let the jeep roll up to the target.

If you read the rules, they don't say anything about a suicide happening.


I like playing AT, but again I'm usually the only one on my whole team that is it - which is why I can be the #1 AT guy with only 16 points a lot of the time.

I absolutely hate the fact that two rockets don't kill a tank unless you hit in the tracks, and if they are next to a supply crate you can forget it.  They heal just as fast as you can reload a new rocket which is pretty lame.  Supply crates should only heal tanks as fast as they heal health for players (it takes forever, basically).

Ideally, yes, if the tank is not covered by other vehicles/infantry.  Anti-tank can take out a tank from distance/cover with 2 shots placed on either the front or back of the treads.  Apples and Oranges...

Bull, if we both see a tank 50 metres away, I guarantee I can take it down before you can.  How long is it going to take you to run all the way over to it, then sneak about behind before placing your C4.  Unless a tank comes out of nowhere, the AT kit is better by far for taking down tanks.  Oh, and the DAO owns the G36C at close range so infantry kills aren't that hard either.

Some people are saying the AT kit is a low scoring kit and to some extent I can see where you're coming from but when you play on close combat maps, like Warlord, its not impossible to finish top.  I have 25 golds, 37 silvers and 37 bronze and nearly all of them came from the AT kit.  OK, its not an uber medal tally but it shows its not impossible to finish top with the AT kit.

I have 237 hours as anititank and it must have taken me the first 50 to work out how to use it.  If you don't play AT regulary, it is very easy to assume its a rubbish kit but it's all about how you control your soldier.  For example, many people don't know that after you fire a missile, as long as you don't move your mouse, the rocket will continue straight so you can fire and cover instantly.  Too often I see people standing there directing their shot whilst the enemy takes pop shots at him.

Also, when using a gun like the DAO, you need to stick close to walls and cover.  I have got many kills that I shouldn't have won against people out of the DAO's range.  Simply by getting behind cover and either waiting for him to come get me or by moving towards him using walls and other objects as shields until you are close enough to blast him away.  I actually find it a lot more fun and satisfying than taking someone down at 100m with the PKM because you actually have to consider flanking skills.

And to the person who said it takes 3 guys to take down a tank using AT.  I have actually done the reverse of that and taken down 3 tanks with one "clip" of 5 rockets, 2 of which were tanks at full health.  It only takes two well placed rockets to destroy a tank and if you don't zoom in you can vlley off a couple of shots very quickly (u have to mark the screen though to do it).

As AT I can Snipe with my rockets (1 hit kill guaranteed), take down tanks, 90% of soldiers at close range and I'm surviving around 50% of medium to long range battles now...

Nice to see someone using the AT kit more often.
I'll take it when got my Assault Badge.
I like the tactics of an AT, as you described them, but you must agree, it's a kit made
for teamplay, it deserves the name "Support" even more than the Support Kit itself.
Look at your K/D ratio as AT after 237h: it <1, really bad, but i'm sure your team loves
you for taking out tanks before they can harm your team.

Good work, keep going! +1 for EstebanRey
