AT is a great kit, you just need to learn how to use it. 2 shoots kill an apc, 3 for a tank.
It`s a sniper rifle, n00b tube one shot kill infantry... Pretty weird also that i got better k/d with the smg than any other rifle...

Edit: People just die when they trie to take out a tank because they dont know how not to be seen, and with 2-3 AT`s in a squad with support and medics are very effective.

Edit 2: And i`m ALWAYS in the top 5 when playing AT at either sharqi, mashtur, ghost town or warlord.

The AT kit does not suck. It only sucks to those who play Karkand 24/7 and only know how to grenade spam, medic whore and claymore spam like a little kid.
Oh, thats right - it also sucks because you cant 1 hit kill?  O, im sorry, because that would make the game so unfair and then all you whiners would be asking for it to be downgraded.

Same as the Assault kit apparantly sucks - because it cant take out tanks, has no way of earning "extra points" and has a so called noob tube. Oh damn, what a shame. Now I cant earn a gold medal and have to resort to just my rifle and kill people without reviving people and getting loads and loads of points.
Oh no...

For those who claim spec ops are far better at taking out enemy tanks, well, try playing Daqing or Dalian - hell, any map other than a city map and running 100m + while spec ops, planting C4 onto a tank and blow it up. Go on, I dare you. Try taking it out.
When your punk ass has finished running towards it and getting blown up 50 times over and the 2 AT's have blown the tank up for no loss of their own, who will be complaining then?
Sure, its easy on Karkand when you have to run 5m out of an alleyway and you are onto the tank itself to plant that C4. Anybody can do that - thats why you see all the low ranks trying it out because spec ops and low ranks mix like a house on fire.

AT is my second most played kit, and by damn, I sure do kick enemy tanks asses with it (not a biased opinion either). Even choppers when they are stupid enough to fly low or slow enough, or just happen to be passing overhead.
A 3man AT team roaming round in a jeep will be almost unbeatable by any enemy tank - 3 AT rockets at it, boom, that thing is gone. Hit it in the front of the tracks, 2 hits and that sukkas gone. Me and 2 mates tore up FuShe once with this, taking out 10+ tanks and a few choppers too for a mere 3 deaths between us.
Is that not skill? I would love to see a spec ops guy do that. They'd be lucky to take out 1 tank, let alone 10. And how about the helis?
I rest my case.

Name me one other kit in the game that can take out a tank at 15m + with any weapon not attached to a vehicle or ground defense.
None.
If people werent so wound up about points and the "z0mgz0rs 1t d0snt 2ak3 0ut t4nks in 1 hitz0rs" and actually play the kit and help your team out, then you might win some rounds.
So what it it doesnt take out a tank in 1 hit? There are other tanks, there are helis, there are planes, and yes, omg, there are other AT players too, who can take out that tank.
"ooh n03s, n0w i d0nt g3t my k1lls", Oh damn, what a shame. 1 kill. Well, im sorry, but thats something called TEAMWORK. Ever heard of that? I guess not.
I just won myself 4 gold medals and a silver on Road Rage by playing AT only and going round in a jeep knocking out tanks and troops with rounds of 50+ each time.
No tanks, no jets, no arty, no mines and no AA used. Pure AT rockets. I beat players who were using those vehicles all round, including Colonels and Captains alike.
Now, if thats not high scoring, teamwork, winning those medals and winning rounds, please tell me what is.
I have my 100BRS as each army so I have no need to earn it. If you are so contempt on earning a 100BRS, then go back to your boring and reptitive stat pad central map, also known as karkand.
In fact, if you are a spec ops player, you might as well stay there too, cos you aint gona take out any tanks on the maps (or, much at all for that matter).

shoot and scoot is the tactic dont stay on the road firing right in front of it. flank tank and get ontop of buildings wait till its below you and give it hell tanks a sittin duck your outside gun range movement.ghosttown/warlord is good for bulding fire

Good posts.
I love AT too. I think the DAO-12 is underrated...it's just a great shottie. My fav weapon actually cuz I appreciate close combat. To me just having the shottie is good and its a bonus having the ROCKET LAUNCHER.

Now...where are those grenades?

Ive been on the leaderboard with AT plenty of times, in anything up to and including booming 64 man servers. As others have stated, you just need to know how to play it properly. You need to understand your role on the battlefield, where you should and should'nt be, your liabilities, responsibilities as an AT and how you should place yourself when reacting to threats. IMHO none of the kits in BF2 are 'suck', its just most people think you can just use each kit the same; rush in with guns blazing. Obviously with AT you need to play smart. If you dont have a med nearby all the time, ration your health, only take shots when you know you have a good chance of taking down the vehicle, or only start blaring off your SMG/Shotgun if your in good range to do so. This means alot of flanking, strategizing and trying to outsmart your opponents.

I love how when something like this comes up everyone either gets defensive or offensive. Defensive if said kit in question is getting picked out as 'suck' because they play it all the time and enjoy it, also most of the time they envy other people because its always the 'other' kit that is getting the points or kills/whatever. Play whatever you want/need to to get your fun out of the game. People get all offensive and just plain out say 'said kit sucks' cause they cant play it or have had bad experience with it.

Personally I play all kits when I need to, but when I can I play medic. Its the fast paced combat I enjoy, also I am a teamplayer so I like to see all my teammates at full health and alive because a) its no fun to be dead and b) we lose if we lose too many tickets. When I need to I will pick up 'said kit' such as AT to take down tanks. If you know the sweet spots you can take em down pretty effectively, and alot of the time the warble in their speakers will be enough to drive them crazy and make them stop mowing down your teammates. Lets be realistic..Alot of the time you can Spec Ops a tanker but any experienced driver will be constantly cycling views if they need to be stationary to the point where spec is going to be a threat. With AT all you have to do is hit accurately and atleast mask about 2-3 shots. Pop up in different areas, shoot when they arent looking at you with the barrel of their main gun. USE FREAKING COVER. As well as the AT rockets you have a very effective SMG that ISNT as bad as everyone says it is. Use it like an SMG; flank, be sneaky, dont get in a firefight at medium range with anyone that has something like a G3. Get in close and unload on them.

Anyways thats my 2 cents. Im not the best ATer nor do I claim to be. Alls Im saying is that every kit is useful in this game if played properly. A little less whining about inexperiences and a little bit more doing whatever the hell you want without complaining about it is much appreciated by all.

Love you all.

maybe we should team up somtime, 3 AT players will own a map. Then again I do work well as AT alone because i like to chase chopeprs. When i do play with my clan (4 avid players who all live locally) I usually go AT but alot less scope for getting multiple shots off.
Problem is, its almost impossible to find willing, teamplaying, ATers. Still, I have an idea, check the chatter forum.

Yeah, the SMG's are definitely under-rated.  They are very effective at close range flanking.  Last night, I went 1 on 3 against a Support, Assault, and Medic, and won...
