Does anyone else think the AT class is great for infantry only?

The Unlock shotgun rips though infantry like no tommorow an the rocket is a great infantry killer too!!

anyone else think so?

Oooor, you could use an M95 and be like "BOOM HEADSHOT". That's just me though.

Those rockets are incredibly easy to dodge and at range the DAO gets its shit torn apart.

The only classes really worth being are support or medic. The engy pump shotgun is fun for a change, and sometimes the grenade launcher is fun too...but other than that...

Its just like a less enhanced, long distance Assault class IMHO.

High armour, low sprint, inability to heal himself. VERY DEADLY close range with the shottie, or if you're goot with the SMG and accurate with the rocket, you'll be taking people down from distance too. Only drawback is the lack of 'nades. Hard to clear out campers.

I think a truly talented AT player could do some serious damage on an IO server....

Too bad there are only a few out there.

I'm with you on this one! i love the MP5 and p90,i normally only use the DAO12 on karkland.
Love the MP7 aswell to and its ok on single shot just like using an AK out of CS just without the 300 damage per shot.

Any class can be used in IO.
Any class can excel in IO.
The situation is the only determining factor.

Would you charge down a hill into enemy fire as an AT across open ground? No.
Would you try and snipe people on a hill 500 yards away as a Engineer? No.

If you want to rush around city maps as an AT then feel free. You might actually do rather well.

I won't argue that Medics, Supply and Snipers aren't the most popular classes on IO however Assault are also common place. In fact Assault is perhaps one of the best classes to play. I personally think snipers are a waste on IO just as much as they are a waste on Vanilla and are more a diversionary tactic and annoying mosquitos. Except for the claymores. Now those things suck big monkey balls. I hate them. I swear a claymore kills me probably once every 5 deaths in IO. Grenades probably also once every 5 deaths. Gun fire is still 3 outta 5 for me. The classes I die from the most are Assault, Medics and Supply bar none on IO. The rest are speed bumbs on the way to the flag. But that's just my personal opinion.

Use what you want. Get good at whatever you feel like. Have fun. Fuck the rest.

I use AT all the time in IO; the DAO-12 tears up on CQB and the AT Rocket takes anything out at distance. Of course, our server only runs Karkand and Jalalabad.

Nothing more satisfying than sniping a sniper with a rocket launcher You might ruin your stats if you miss a lot, but since I personally don't care about stats (only that I do things to cause my team to win), that's a risk willing to take, just for the fun of doing it.

I hate IO, but personally, if I were to play it as AT, Id have the P90. That thing tears up shit, and it means that unlike with the DAO, you are not bollocksed at anything beyond 5m.
If you are not the US, and end up with the shitty MEC or PLA standard, then the P90 is for you.

I love AT in IO on Mass Destrucion, have not tried it on any other map but the DAO-12 shines in IO and the n00b-tubes are always useful.

Anti Tank in IO works pretty good on some maps where there are short distance. Because Dao really works well them. Also rockets are easy to awoid yet no one really does it when I'm shooting with it. XD

But I prefer Assault G3 gun over any other for the moment. That damn thing rapes on distance and hella of lot deadlier than most Rifle in the game. Except for Sniper rifle such as L9 which is the only weapon you should really use on Jalalabad. On other IO maps other kits are better than sniper imo. Unless you wanna mine the whole area with claymores that everyone just love to run into.

AT in IO rocks for me, the eryx is a good sniper removal tool, and can be used as an up-close around-the-corner one hitter. Plus the DAO is so good at smoking hoppers. But I play the kit so much, that's just me.
