Rockets effectivity?

[Matuse]

I do understand that there is importance in making sure that things are balanced, because the object is to have fun, and not make a war simulation...

But an anti-vehicular missile that hits someone in reinforced or less armor should vaporize that person. Can only stretch believable reality so far. Yes, it would mean that people using missiles could make 1-shot-kills...but they do this at the expense of an expensive and can't-carry-very-many piece of weaponry. Make AV weapons use some future version of shape charge warheads, so they have minimal splash damage, and that would make killing infantry with one require a direct hit, which should be pretty difficult. That would be decent balance.

The thing is, they ARE good at what they are specialized in. AI TR MAX mow down infantry like there's no tomorrow. Now, I don't know about you, but I would NOT want a twin chaingun welding MAX being able to take down vehicles and aircrafts well. Yes, they would probably do some damage, but come on, that IS why there are specialized MAXs right?

They are specialised yeah, thats the point of MAXs. But they are not OVER specialised in their field. Because if they're overly specialised they would have to be absurdly powerfull in what they're specialised in. You won't be as helpless as a kitten if you face infantry in an AV MAX.

Hell, theres a shot of a TR AI MAX killing a NC MAX.. Obiously the other types does damage to targets they're not specialised to bring down.

Just because something is specialised in something dosn't mean they can't do jack shit to annything else. Just means they do a better job killing what they're specialised in.

Also on a side note, getting a phoenix rocket rammed up you ass as infantry should hurt.... It's a rocket. Same whit the other AV weapons.. Getting grenades in your face should hurt.There has to be some realism in weapons, else the game gets to wierd and you might aswell run around playing paper, rock, scissors.
