SRAW and ERYX skin.....Javelin guts

Since the Javelin uses heat signatures, tanks could carry some sort of "flare" or "smoke" countermeasure, which can be deployed. (I'm conflicting if the lock warning should be added back to tell tank crews when to deploy the countermeasure). With the countermeasure in, it would then be a task to figure out how to balance the countermeasure with the Javelin missile so both would be effective. (An experienced Javelin crew could hit a tank, but an experienced tank crew could countermeasure a Javelin).

dont arena and shtora systems activate automatically when a missile is detected?

(i.e. not including the Javelin on Qwai since U.S. already has TOWs).

I like. To get around the limited kit problem you could make the Javelin a pickup kit on the map(s) in question. IIRC there were some bugs with the Javelin though. You'd have to dumb down the lock on range (like the Stinger and Igla MANPAD systems) or it will become a one hit wonder from the other side of the map.

Yes i see, ones it looses lock while in flight it will find a other target and lock onto that.

First off, I absolutely hate idiots who claim that one tank is better than the other..

Sure the Ch2 got some fancy smancy armour, The M1A1-d /I belive that is the one modeled in PR../ got its fancy smancy Turbine engine and Gstab`s.. The T90 got its fancy smancy Arena and rugged russian design..

The point is, NONE of these have been used against eatchother in real combat.. So unthill they do, Stop with the fucking E-penis waving allready.. And why in the name of ZORG am I sounding like a mod right now?

Anyways, back on topic:
The Javelin shoud be implemented, but then you whoud need to either make sure that its not overpowerd, or if you choose to go with that path, make sure the other team gets something too..
Having it as a commander-placeable item whoud work, however it must be limited to one, and, I belive, it shoud have a longassed reload time to counter its power..

This is project reality last time I checked, stop nerfing things and make them exactly how they should be in real life or don't implement them at all IMHO

This issue has been discussed to death, and this thread has degenerated into a versus thread with the usual suspects.

Locked.
