yea, that's pretty much what I envisioned myself doing with it. Basically using the tank or APC as my main weapon and popping out when a gunship or transport comes along. I think I'm going to unlock it tonight. Chances are, it'll be fixed in the next patch if there's such an obvious complaint about it (not hitting transports, that is).JimmyBotswana wrote:

It is good to be in a tank and have the SAAW equipped as gunships eat through tanks very quickly. Hop out and put two SAAW missiles into them and have the last laugh.

- anyone use the SAAW (AA unlock for engi)?
I say, if you want a ton of kills. Go EU on 64 Suez Canal Conquest . You can just camp the gun ships by using that hill that devides both teams
IMO, is not worth to unlock...use it on something better, Koening H-AVR instead!
Thanks for the opinions on the SAAW folks. I unlocked it and I'm going to try it out tonight, then I'll post my 2 cents.
eh, you are going to have to unlock the SAAW eventually. I would unlock the Pilum instead. Its fun to use. I don't have it yet but I did try it and its pretty effective.
well, I unlocked it and used it last night. Its great against gunships, I got quite a few kills with it last night. I only took out one transport with it though, but it had 4 people on it so 4 kills is cool. It wouldn't lock on to the transports, just as everyone has been saying. Only the one time and that time it just so happened that the transport was right above me, so maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway, very happy with the unlock, it suits my playing style. Now I guess I'll go for the pilum.
I thint thats a bug. The Skin for the SAAW in the EU team is different from the skin in the PAC team. I not 100% sure, but I think that the EU oder the PAC SAAW can lock onto transport, ant the SAAW of the other team can't.Afrika_18 wrote:

Neither of those. The SAAW does not have a special skin, its the same stock rocketlauncher with AA ammunition, thats all. The scope changes, if you load up AA rounds, to fit the different target scheme.Knochenmann_AUT wrote:

As for the not locking onto transports, it´s random. Happens on EU and PAC side, sometimes it does, sometimes not. Hopefully it does when the transport is fully loaded .
I unlockes it yesterday, only had that one and the stupid Accipiter squadleader unlock left, so.
Kinda funny thingy to use, but the Pilum is way more useful in most situations.
