a question regarding the m203/variants - Page 2

Redamare · 02-24-2010, 01:39 PM

yea im not sure if it does much but ( it MAY ) scare the apc away in fear of an ambush

to OP: it is an explosion, so i imagine it would do some damage. In vBF2 if you chucked anough grenades at a tank, it could destroy it. I would think you could blow it up with 203's, but it would probably take forever

203 rounds can trick an APC into thinking it took a Rocket and sending it on its way.

its a good way to keep a APC off its game, every few seconds you'll make the driver and gunner go

"WTF was that?"

"near miss?"

"didn't see"

"no idea"

"OMG WHAT IS GOING ON"

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIIE"

If you're good you should be able to get the grenade to go down the hatch.

Lol, if only you could do that in the BF2 engine. Although what APC crew would be stupid enough to leave their hatch open when hostile infantry are close...

I can very easily see some new player who hasn't read the manual doing that.

Yeah, we're well aware that the HEDP round can penetrate armour. In fact, I seem to recall someone mentioning how a MK19 gunner successfully engaged and destroyed a BMP with them during the Gulf War.

Currently in PR, they do no damage to armour. That could be liable to change in the future, though it still won't make engaging an APC with a UGL a good idea.

Why do you keep referencing 'real life'? If it doesn't translate properly into PR or if its a totally different ball game (which it is) then

your argument is invalid.

In real life if an enemy asset is moving to fast to shoot, but is still calling in accurate fire and everyone can't hit it, do they simply 'get bored with it and stop? Right.
