I was looking at the armor values and noticed that some of the resists are set like 1.00/1.00/1.00 and some are around .80/.80/.80 then on the other side 1.50/2.00/1.50. So the armor numbers can be more effective to differnt type of ammo or even LESS effective. AP/HE/SC

The My.com launcher will open even when the servers are no online and you can update the client and run the integrity check as well. I did that for shits & giggles before suggesting it to you. Also anyone who reads this and decides to look at it and sees the 'Delete game installation files' option, FYI removing that saves you 24 Gb but also forces you to download the entire package on the next update. This last patch was almost 11 Gb and if I had removed the game install files it would have been double the wait.

Battalion snipe bwahahaha...



Yeah I would join something like that if I could get an invite or w/e not sure how it works for this game.

The incredible view range plus high pen/damage missiles make it a bit of a monster in any kind of ranged fight. Even in the T-64 which can actually soak a few missiles from the front it's pretty dicey to try to advance with one around.

The ability to launch missiles over a hilltop with exposing yourself to enemy fire is also huge.

However the whole design principle is to be able to fire over things and zone in on a target with the laz tower.

That's true, and not necessarily a bad thing given these are supposed to be tank destroyer-ish in function and that allows them to do the job while remaining fragile. The issue is just that the vision differential (blind MBTs versus crazy long vision range swingfire) makes it pretty annoying when you can't observe either the vehicle or the missiles. And, of course, they're also faster and more nimble so they can often get the hell out of dodge before you or your scouts spot them anyways.

The biggest thing I'd like to see changed about the ATGM-carriers in general is the lack of a notable minimum range. Swingfire couldn't engage under 150m, for example. Dudes rolling around a corner or over a hilltop and taking a snapshot with a missile at near point blank while my MBT has to stop and wait to aim have been frustrating.

Well swingfires can not fire on the move they have to sit still to steady before firing. GIving them a min range is probably also not the answer as no other vehical has stuff like that. I think the devs say they will be lowering there viewrange, lets see what that does first.

IIRC PVE missions are still with several humans on your team vs bots. OTOH that also means you can platoon up for them.

When we platooned over the weekend it looked like you could platoon 5 for PvE.

My IGN is the same. Scoots is the only other regular I see, the rest are anti social.

This is true, I have been playing boats instead due to bugs.

Because HE is magic in this game and can actually do a lot of damage.

80% of the time I have used HE I have gotten no pens for like 70 damage or w/e crazy low number.

It seems like PVE missions do count, it just doesn't give you the decal immediately, there is something like a 15 minute delay.

Yeah I did PVE and got it.
