Full agreement from me there, it would actually improve the gameplay and make it more balanced, I can't bring myself to play it anymore and this is one of the reasons, too many TOW losers about with no skill.

agreed, but I think it has it's place - at least they modofied the spawn delay on them to make them less available - it's the maps that have two TOW's where people suffer most (badlands etc)
or the small Badlands map (Centre base and the next 2) that has three :smileytongue:

Agreed. The ONLY time I see it is when people are spamming it as a cheap weapon. I miss the good ol' days....

Re: What is your opinion of the TOW missile?

But then what will the one trick poneys do :smileysad: I'll have less people to kill. If I can go 21-9 against 7 pilots then their must be something wrong with them :smileyvery-happy: If people rely on a TOW for all their kills then when they actually fly against someone they are dead in a matter of seconds.

 

On a side note: Has any one else seen x_chaos_x? He has changed teams on numerous occasions with me to be on the better team. If he keeps it up I'll just message a bunch of WAR! guys and make sure we are all playing against him.

Re: What is your opinion of the TOW missile?

Yep...if I had a penny for everytime I was towed last night in our Warhawk shenanigans I would have £37.42p  !!! :smileyvery-happy:

 

Although I admit one of them was worthy of praise - as it took me out when I was 2 steps away from the base and fully loaded with 4 cores.... nice one Mr. G. Though I obviously wasn't as appreciative at the time.....the Missus thought I had developed tourettes syndrome :smileysad:

Remove the TOW is the way forward.

Re: What is your opinion of the TOW missile?

LOL. it does have its uses, and its gotten me out of tight situations involving missile turrets and AA guns. I wish there were options to limit it the number of times one person can collect it, or respawn time etc. anyone who fancies having a deathmatch agaianst me, feel free to add me

Me? Would I do a thing like that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...too right :smileywink:

 

What made it all the more fun was we nabbed all the cores, got all the way back to our base in an epic jeep escape only to be killed and denied the capture mere yards away from our base...bravo, well played (grrrrrr)

Re: What is your opinion of the TOW missile?

they changed spawn times so its not bad as it was before. I dont camp it i just take a look or fly by and if its there i pick it up. that is the most important thing to do in the air to stock on weapons... TOW is usefull in a hands of an experienced pilot who can survive long in the air and wait for the opportunity to clear away at least 2 troops who are attacking a zone or bunch of people saving the flag. Only in TDM you are free to use it against anything and anyone...

Re: What is your opinion of the TOW missile?

I don't like being single troop TOW'd, and anyone saying it's for an easy kill...is quite a crap excuse.

 

A Single Homing Missile can kill a ground troop in one blow, so why one earth people need to use a TOW missile i will never know.

 

The only time i will use a TOW is mainly A2A, which i find quite exciting, and requires a bit of skill not much, but some is needed, especially for the Long Range ones.

 

I'll use it on Ground Troops if there are 3+ doing stuff such as taking a base etc.

 

Also, i would use it one Objective carriers (mainly Flags not cores), but rarely as Homing Missile, MG, LG combo is quick enough to kill vehicles anyhow. But if they are too far away, they should expect a TOW.

 

The TOW used properly can be good, but more and more people use it bad which anoys me greatly. Such a waste.
