Why do so many people think the Pilum is more powerful? It does exactly the same damage.
Tanks don't get any warning when aim at them... This means no shield = no more Tank. This is THE big difference. The other big difference is the bullet speed and you reload time.

With the Pilum you can't control your bullet the target, but you can reload while it's getting there. With the basic weapon, you have to stay in arms way to lead your missiles and you need to wait for the reload after. APC and Tanks are long gone before you can shoot again.

This why people (like me) love the Pilum.

Ya, I'm starting to see that every gun has it's ups and downs. I do ave a question about the normal AT gun, does it suffer from the same proublem that the BF2 gun did, when you die the rocket jercks up because that is where your camera view goes when you die?

If your questioning whether or not to get BF2142 because of some trivial gun and gameplay questions, then I think you should sort out other issues in your life first. Its just a game! Just buy it! Just because a gun does 42% damage and not 43% means jack shit. People who say "Im sorry I bought the game because it has bugs and EA is gay blah blah blah" are whiners who want everything to be 100% perfect to compensate for a lack of skill. Everyone is in the same boat dont forget.

Its a great game and the amount of time you will spend playing the game will easily outweigh the price or any complaints you might have about it. Do it mate, buy it and join the fun!

Yeah. The Engie SMG will totally ravage an enemy or a friendly at close range. Whereas 50 or so metres away and you can hardly hit a barn.
Maybe improve the accuracy a little? Or remove the opposite unlock to the Pilum (I forgot what it's called) and replace it with a better SMG?
What?  I find the engi smg awesome at long range 50+ meters.  Short bursts and I always get the job done.  Also, I'd hate to see them take away the SAAW.  Its a great unlock for sniping gunships (but they have to fix it so that it locks on to transports more consistently).
Yeah I found that problem really annoying. What the hell is up with not locking on to your own transports when an enemy is flying them?
