Default Re: Does troop quality perhaps not matter enough?

Hey guys,

Thanks for the input. And yep, I've used varieties of the tactics posted to differing degrees of success. But I still feel that there shouldnt be any additional vulnerability implemented for dismounting (at least not from an APC).

As for the AT weapon, I'm not even talking about the little 2 man roving AT teams. These are the inherent RPGs in the standard Sections or Squads. So EVERY one of the little buggers is blasting APCs (and lesser protected tanks) to oblivion at over 200m!

It takes a certain degree of discipline and training to engage enemy armor in the first place at those ranges and while under fire, it should be a really low chance of a hit. Right now dismounted infantry seem to control too large of an area against armor even with no dedicated AT weapons (there are no ATGMs, RRs, or other such things that I've encountered).

Again, for high-quality troops, yeah, they should be up and firing and hitting at the longer ranges, but for the rabble and lesser trained troops, they shouldnt even be trying to engage armor at those ranges let alone scoring solid kills like they do. For the closer ranges, lethality shouldnt drop off as much for suppression, but it should definately factor in a LOT more at the farther ranges.
