Maybe also slow it down a little?

cool, ET with Matrix “bullet time” effects

The way I see it, if you’re going to nerf the PF by reducing ammo you might as well get rid of it altogether. Like who’s going to play with a weapon with only one shot - even if it is more powerful? Along with then having to chase lieutenants to get ammo it would just be annoying and dull.

I advocate 2-3 shots myself. One must remember this is a team game and the PF is not an anti-personell weapon (although splash damaging a room…) it is an anti-armor weapon.

I’d like to see how it plays with a combination of an arc trajectory as well as a random deviation in the direction it’s fired. Perhaps the degree of deviation will reduce with player Exp.

Actually the unguided rocket did have nasty spiral to them after 150 meters (164 yards). They are not designed for any long range sniping and so “skill” reducing that would be useless.

Maybe also slow it down a little?

I would actually advocate speeding them up. They are short-range anti-armor weapons that go through 200mm of armor.

A couple of side notes:

1. if you get heavy weapons 4 you can choose a thompson/mp40 as your secondary weapon, work for it! Nothing more satisfying than have some idiot medic running up when you start spraying him with bullets!

2. I do not hear people saying that the mortar is useless (entirely). Mortars can actually be quite fun! Thump! Splat! It simply requires different tactics. Same here, they’re support weapons. Your team should cover you while you take out the tank/mg nest.

3. We wouldn’t have this problem if people didn’t associate RL’s with guns. We can thank id for this, RL’s are not guns, unless they are gyrojets, and then we can really talk about accuracy.

However the reason for it is not the kinetic energy of the projectile but the hollow charge(also called shaped charge or HEAT) warhead that creates a very high pressure thin beam of matter which is what is capable of such penetration.
