topless? go find some real porn if you're that desparate

And who ever said there was a cable for the phoenix? As far as I can remember the Redeemer in UT (same principle) had no cable =/

I'm sure they would have made it so it's a lot less likely to jam or what have you, seeing as this is in the future.

If you did use the jammer grenade you would have to throw it at the soldier guideing the Pheonix to dissrupt the signal unless, you timed it just right for the grenade to explode in the air of the missels path. If you do that to screw up the missle you might as well just kill the soldier using it and save the grenade for a better purpose.

I was the one who started the thing with the TOW cable. I know that the thing this is based on uses a series of wires to guide it, and I was guessing that this would have something similar. If not at least a "signal" that would be lost at a certain range. I was thinking that otherwise they could be flown forever. Anyway........

It could be like a touring device!

See the world of Auraxis through the eyes of a Phoenix missile! Only $3 per use! At the end you even get to blow something up!

Funny, I could have sworn I started the tow cable thing. When I made the first post on my thread. Guess I must be wrong.

Stalefish, good show.

Here ya go......

"Just a thought, If this is modeled after a mounted or shoulder fired TOW missle, these things have a wire tether that leads back to the base (From this missile) which is what transmits the signal to the receiver. However, this thin brace of wire snaps at a certain distance, albeit far, but then it is just a dumbfire missle that has been guided in. So in theory, you have to be reasonably close to guide it to your target - probably in range of a sniper or a MAX or a tank - so you'd better get your ass in gear once that thing makes impact."

And on top of that, dio mentioned something across those lines b4 you posted. Wow, you can fit your whole foot into your mouth? Thats cool.

(I'm just messing with you, don't get all testy - I hate that)

The Pheonix is a bad ass weapon. It takes skill to use the thing cause you have to fly the missle to the target. I for one will admire anyone who masters it. Just imagine seeing a Pheonix fired flown through a group of infantry right up the middle just to kill a Max or other armored unit. Nothing like seeing a missle comming right at you only to buzz your head and blow up behind you. And there's no other infantry weapon that you can control the flight path of after its been fired. Everything else is either lock on ( fire and forget ) or dumb fired, it's too easy using faf weapons. I like a challenge.

Steaksause ruins crow. Now after you clean one and defeather it you cook it like you would a cornish gamehen with stuffing inside it with a few spices. Bake in an oven on 350 degrees F and wait untill it's a golden brown. It's actually quite good if you do it right.

I know dude, no probs. You can also dumbfire the Pheonix right from the start so you don't have to wait around.
