Where is the painted target when using thumper?


The thumper is my weapon of choice, but something in the weapons bio got my attention.




A standard grenade launcher, the Thumper can lob grenades up to medium range. It utilizes a special Arc Targeting System that 'paints' a small impact circle on the soldier�s HUD, representing roughly where the grenade will land.

I have never seen a "painted area" to help me with aiming, is this just a problem with my game, or does no one have the target cursor? Just wondering.

They probably just didn't add it. Kinda like they put OBO in the manuals and don't have it yet.

If they added this reticle - that tells you where the grenade will land, more people will be using the Thumper for longer range assaults.

The bane of friendly infiltrators.

If they dont add the reticule, people will spam using trial & error, since they have more ammo to piss away since the ammo patch.



Of course, they didnt. And no one uses a lethally efficient medium-long range weapon because they dont have a reticule.

I have hardly ever used the thumper, and I can still judge shots within about 2 meters. It's not that hard.

A Thumper with plasma nades is what you could call the old nc flamethrower. I haven't yet, and dont plan to, have SA. But thats mainly cause I dont want Reinforced Armor

Heh, I got SA

Sorta nifty, but yeh, it has it's ups and downs.

Namely there are situations where it's VERY useful to have a buttload of grenades :P

Who needs a reticule? It's not hard to judge a distance with an arc weapon.

Yeah, it would be sweet though, becuase im not good at it at all. I recently got SA, but I dont like it that much, the Rocklet and Thumper isnt worth the Maelstorm tradeoff...who needs a Jackhammer when you got that thing. Waitin for BR20 so I can get HA again.
