TR Striker

[SpartonX]

I just realized the TR's rocket launcher, the striker, has a clip and doesn't need to be reloaded inbetween shots, i think, i might be wrong, but just look at the info and picture of it. Does anyone have any info about the clip size, or anything about this

Sry if this has already been talked about before, or that the answer is damn obvious i was to stupid to see it

[Flameseeker]

Thank Hamma! A recruit with an intellectual question. I have no idea though. I don't know much about TR and VS weapons, just pick up a Phoenix, they are way better. I just posted to congratulate you on not having a newbie question that can be answered by reading the site. This will require a Dev intervention or someone that has scanned all screens and memorized clip capacity for all of the weapons. Keep up the IQ! :p

[SpartonX]

i didn't think i saw any info on it, i think read just about everything on this sight, and yes, pheonix all the way

Long live NC

I've noticed the clip also, and it fits because the Terrans are about RoF.

My guess at the ammo capacity is 2-4 judgeing by the size of the clip. Chances are this is being tweaked in beta right now just as the phoenix is.

The clip doesn't mean it will shoot 5 rockets in 2 secs. I have no doubt there will still be a considerable pause between each rocket. (Rocket launcher + Machine gun = :nono: )

I'd assumed the lancer will be the quickest weapon being based on energy and not rockets, striker next and phoenix well... :)

I love how we can turn the simple answer of 'we don't have a clue' into a thread with a bunch of replies to it... I know this one only has like 5, but some of these threads are like three pages long of people saying they don't know... keep up the good work :p

It's the magic of internet forums baby. On my other forum someone once actually made a "Changing subject" thread or something like that, basically we just talked about the subject and eventually thanks to the magic of forums it changed then we talked about that subject until it somehow changed again and so on. :p

SJ said that the pheonix was way too powerful, I have a feeling that once they fix it, the other rocketlaunchers could be more powerful, I hope not. Anyone know how effective anti-vehicle rockets are gonna be against aircraft and infantry?

Dio, they have said that the bolt-driver is the fastest weapon in the game, but the lancer is a close second.

I think he may have been talking about just the Anit-Vehicular weapons.

The Lancer is an AV weapon, thank you for playing, and come again. :thumbsup:

[Sputty]

He was saying that he meant quickest out of the AV weapons. Heh..

[Zatrais]

Fastest.... Fastest as in the rate of fire or the traveltime of the projectilie?

The lancer beeing a beam weapon, i'd assume its pretty much faster than a rocket. However, considering that the TR are the RoF masters i'd think the Striker is the fastest firering of the 3.

As for the number of rockets it can fire before it needs to reload.... i'm betting 3 hehe.

Lancer is second in projectile speed. Long range also. Hmmmmm...sniper AV with mag implant?

Saint, I'm pretty sure he was talking about ROF among the AV weapons.

I'm guessing the Striker clip holds >= 6 rounds... and the fact that it actually USES a clip gives it a significant advantage over the Phoenix. 3 phoenix shots are going to take up a LOT of space (rifle slot[s] and inventory). < 3 Striker shots come with the weapon, before you get to the first clip. And I'm sure those clips will be significantly smaller than the phoenix as a whole.

And let's not forget the advantage of "fire-and-forget". Where an NC soldier is sniper-bait, the TR soldier can head for cover.


Seriously: That phoenix contrail is going to be a big arrow pointing to someone imobile. And that'll draw all those bolt-driver toting snipa's like flys on sh!t. When (not if) the missile's 'pilot' dies, I'm guessing it'll go into dumb-fire mode.

[Zatrais]

Striker can also lock onto vehicles in secondary firemode, nother advantage =)

[NeoTassadar]

Has to reattain lock after every shot. Getting this just because the other weapons (can't remember which ones) specify when they don't have to.

Probably not because of the CoF. It doesn't need a particularly small one to hit vehicles at medium range, so there's no particular reason to believe that it will have B-D style accuracy even crouched.
