Any chance of adding this in for the guys on foot? There have been a bunch of times where I have been running around only to come across a tank. Then it's a game of hide and seek behind stuff until he gets me. It'd be nice to be able to call in something on top of them that comes a little faster than a normal building and with less notice.

Make it cost like 4 rift or whatever so it's not spammed. With all the weapons vehicles it shouldn't be too much to ask..

Dont know if i'm keen of the idea of Airstrikes it smacks to much of CoD & MoH in my view

Should'nt you really be looking at your map (combat intel) & avoiding the enemy's heavy assets?

yea.. sometimes my vehicle gets damaged and have to bail.. or when they attack a spawn beacon or base rape.

I'm all for having a balanced game, but you can't expect to survive every situation you find yourself in. Sometimes death is inevitable.

yea.. but ground troop basic gun is useless.. hawks have torpedo, invisible, shields, lockig rockets, stomp, mines, cluster bombs,etc all that can be picked up in seconds. ground troops have a useless gun, a rocket that is almost useless, and a laggy shotgun that kills better at distance than up close. none of which are good against a tank. just have a pickup that spawns every few minutes like the torpedo but for ground troops.. the best weapon for the ground are the mines and that takes 3 to kill a tank..

Bruiser is more than enough.

[Stezza · Accepted solution]

Infantry benefit greatly from sticking together and watching each others backs. 2 or 3 ground troops unleashing a flurry of rifle fire and grenades will take any vehicle out pretty quickly.

The ability to lock on to tanks and mechs with the rocket launcher may be a useful addition, though.

MINES MINES & more MINES.....

Thats the way to stop pesky tanks lol....

I dont care it takes 3 mines to kill them  Sidewinder + mines + Combat Intel = DEAD TANKS

Can you imagine the outcry from the Tankers & Pilots that the hated infantry should be allowed to fight back!!!!

They cried the Sniper rifle damaged there Tanks as it was one of the effective weapons against them & one of the things that stopped them getting too near bases!!

They moaned they lost a % of there Stealth & Shield....

Dylans Twitter account would collapse under the weight of Tweets he got

I like the idea of the R/L being able to lock onto Mech's to many times you see them sitting up on the high ground waiting for your pilots to takeoff so they can instantly lock them up from the ground!!

I'd take that ability away!!

The sniper was damn overpowered against tanks anyway

There was one guy on a server in Outland he built a watchtower + bubble shield on one of the mountains scattered around the main bases and was able to see almost every tank that was coming their way and when you're playing ground pounder getting a tank into the enemie's base is vital because they're usually turtling on ground pounder.

I think the rocket launcher, grinder, grenade and proximity mines should be the only effective weapons against tanks, sniper rifles are too accurate.

I do agree that rocket launchers should be able to lock on that was in Warhawk and it was perfect for keeping the tanks away.
