After everyone got so PISSY when they listed a graphics change in the past, I can see why the devs left those graphics changes out.

Yes, but this also means the pounders wont see whats incoming, friend or foe...or where they are coming from. It has its ups and downs...

If they didn't fix Striker or Pounder, they're just blowing smoke anyway. A big smoke-trail will be a sign that says "guy wielding a completely worthless weapon system here, please kill". Pounder is only slightly less worthless, except when compared with Quasar and ScatterMAX, and then it's just pathetic.

<--- alright, alright

yeah, well, jammers disable all electrical equipment, so its logical

I don't think jammers should disable weapons on a vehicle that has any shields left. Also, a chaingun shouldn't be jammed if it's not an electronic component.

sutserikeru · 2003-12-05, 12:32 AM

actually, if a jammer disables all electrical stuff, then that means the entire vehicle should stop, consider yoursleves lucky SOE didnt do THAT

Ait'al · 2003-12-05, 12:43 AM

they should stop the tanks parts that run on electronics only? bullets use gunpowder. So it should fuck up the COF/aiming system. and maybe the turet movement. htough it may be able to move depending on the tech they deam it uses. some modern tanks have engines that dont use electronics, atleast not for moving.

Hamma · 2003-12-05, 01:56 AM

It should not disable vehicles at all, going up against one infantry and having him disable your entire vehicle sucks ass and its not fun.

Command EMP maybe, jammer nade no.

Veteran · 2003-12-05, 02:03 AM

Yup, it's hard enough to fill your crew vehicle as it is without some lone joker shutting it down with one shot.

flypengy · 2003-12-05, 03:39 AM

Nope. Jammers are a good thing. One tank could easily own an ams, now, someone throws a jammer on it and that ams has a chance to live. Being camped by tanks at a tower? Throw a jammer so that you can kill it.

Besides, if you're getting close enough to infantry with your tanks that they can jammer it, then you're not driving very smart. Learn to keep your distance when driving now.

Zatrais · 2003-12-05, 05:48 AM

Love the jammer nades, gives me chance to do something useull to a tank as infantry.

WolfA4 · 2003-12-05, 06:13 AM

yeap jammers can be a pain the response when fighting infantry up close is to have a quick trigger finger. i've gotten many reddies and barney's right before they could throw the jammer at me usualy i hit them right after they jam me. if anything i get jammed i tell my driver to just put some distance and wait for it to pass.

Rarzo · 2003-12-05, 07:27 AM

Well, In a real war did tank drivers go right up next to the soldiers and run them over? NO. They kept their distance and blew shells in their direction. They don't want people throwing grenades IN their tank.

I think that the Jammer grenade upgrade was for the best.

Hamma, it gives Infantry at least a fighting chance...And it only lasts for about 7-9 seconds I think. They can also still drive so whats the problem?
