I never got to unlock it in the beta. Whats the point of it exactly? With the killer rocket turning it seems rather useless. Is it more powerful?

I realise they dont get a warning signal but the signal is much smaller than in BF2 and the shield only lasts for 5 secs anyway.

The Pilum is pretty good. It takes 1 or 2 shot to destroy a tank with full health, often 1 shot in the back will blow it apart. Also the "target" will not hear a lock tone since its a high speed projectile and not a missile per se. Its a good unlock for any engineer.

do you have to aim abit forward if the target is quite far? cuz the speed of the projectile is only 60m/s

agreed.

<-- tank whore
<-- hates stupid AT rifle. Mostly because of its lack of AV warnings. And a shot up the tailpipe with one of those babies usualy wrecks a tank quite effectivly.

ITS AWSOME !!!!
IF your going for long distance shots than the guided missles are better. If your going for under 100 m, specialy around silos than its amazing. Also one unlock before is that "Vechile Detector Thingy". Those 2 combined
IF you unlocked the other stuff before the gun, than try it as field upgrade for few maps first.

1 shot to the back of a tank with a Sudnik or Mitchell will kill it too.

I'm English, I have to wait another weak (damn slow delivery). Still, I might take you up on that.

BTW one question with this rifle.

Is it possible to hit infantry with this? Then is it like a sniper rifle per se for Engineer class?

Technicly you can but its harder than it was with AT in BF2. Its mostly a waste of ammo.

Ok Thx guys. Might want to shoot for AT rifle next, even though I am not going to waste ammo on infantry (maybe...), I want to try 'sniping' vehicles since I am usually sniping anyway.

pilium owns.....no lock on sound when targeting/while its being fired... and its surprisingly accurate at range but you really have to lead your target quite a bit because it just goes straight but is really quite fast.... and it will take out infantry in one shot but you only get 6 rounds

No problems for me either except the medals and pins. I have the Lambert and camo. (amazing) I already have 40 knife kills ~

Sounds like its not worth getting. I'll stick with the other tree for motion mines.

OK, I haven't unlocked it but I picked it up from my dead squad mate (sorry buddy but couldn't save you, whoever you were). I haven't had much chance to shoot at vehicles but I had some fun killing 6 enemy infantry before I chucked it away because I ran out of ammo. I must say, with some reflex and a good aiming, you can take out anyone in one shot... I have seen those guys complain about that I was using th rifle for the wrong purpose. LoL

I just unlocked it and am quite happy... of course, as soon as I go to engineer to use it, I get swamped by infantry... I go to support, and out come the tanks. I was thinking about the motion mine, but I will wait to find out if they go after anything that moves, or just enemy vehicles. I would hate for my tks to go up because my mines started chasing friendly APCs.

Heck yes. I used the heck out of it in the beta. It's number 16 on my unlock list.

I just unlocked AT rifle and it rocks.
APCs and Tanks go down with one shot to the back. Haven't met any walkers with AT rifle at hand but I'm sure it will do a lot of damage. I used this in titna hall way and I was guaranteed at least 4 kills before my ammo ran out, but of course I had my support guys piling up those ammo boxes behind me so I just kept shooting. LoL

i unlocked it yesterday and im already ranked 550 with a 7.83 k/d ratio with it
with motion mines (that dont go after friendlies) pilium and the portable vehicle uav thing you can defend silos very well

i have even taken out gunships/transports coming in too close for their own damn good
