I say let it rape! one way you might think about equaling it out MK19 uses a very small ammo can 38 rounds if I remember it correctly and it doesnt reload the fastest in the world. If it had HEDP it could defend itself against other APCs also

Hello I am new and have long game to project reality in Argentina, that AT light can not destroy a APC, as in reality require 2 shots for it?, And only use the AT Shielded heavy as heavy M1 Abrams and T - 90, there is a possibility of putting a new kind of unit such as a mortar? in the case of the U.S. Army for one of 60mm primarily indirect fire in support of the Squad, although I suppose that role Grenadier serious, it would greatly help a unit well, greetings

I'll PM him about what he tried to ask about and then I'll post the questions here.
As for mortars... There are a couple of mods that have fairly good models of mortars. It's actually pretty fun to use them in order to cause mischief in an area with a lot of enemy infantry

I think it would be a great addition to PR. For not to mention that the Insurgents could use them (As i think they do IRL) to make life harder to US/UK/NATO forces

looking forward to start playing BF2 again cause i've kind stopped.
now i know this is a little great and its not request but i think it would look better if the soldiers were Rangers. I like how rangers have the tan helmets and tan equipment and kevlar and stuff. almost look like special forces in a way lol.
but anyways great job =D
rangers aren't special forces. but they are a elite light infantry and are trained for special forces. not like special forces, they are deployed in big numbers. not like SF units which are deployed in small units and do unconventional warfare

Hello, sorry for my bad English, my question was simple by 2 shots you need to destroy an APC with an AT Light?, Is not real.

ah I understand. What do you think you need? 3 shots? or 1. I think 1 is to little and 3 is to much. You need to reload your AT in the middle of the fight with a rifleman so it will take long for that second shot to land. In the meantime ( when you got a good APC ) it has driven off so you cant even hit him.
I think the dev's did this for game balance.

You can destroy an apc with 1 rpg sometimes. Anyway the most important thing about PR is realistic tactics not absolute accuracy on individual details

I believe that a single shot destroy the APC in reality, in order not to lose the balance of the game and give him a chance infantry soldier would need 2 ammunition in AT and thus destroying the APC, and as happens now, that survives the APC and the soldier is no possibility of destroying it.

Possible if you got a rifleman near by. That is teamwork all about

Do the US Army use the AT4 and SRAW?? Also shouldnt the minigun, if its not being replaced by a 7.62, on the outside of the BH?

That includes moving it, I would guess.

Yes. If your squad is good theres a big chance you can kill that APC as an AT because theres a rifleman standing by with an ammo bag.

Hello, While having an infant near to me their ammunition and reloading the AT power, it takes a long time and the APC and kill the entire Squad, being in open field.
Sometimes they can coordinate with an AT Light engineer with C4, although it is very difficult alike.

Well in the above situation your wrong to be in an open field attacking the APC. You should have hide youreself or find cover and concealment to engage.
I know it takes a long while to reload. But in most cases the APC either drives off to hide or stays to engage. If you did it right he cant find you or your in cover so he cant easily kill you. After your reload you take him out. In both cases you got what you want. Got rid of the APC. Ofcourse in the first scenario it will come back or haunt another squad. So you will need to radio it to the commander to get some armour support
NOTE: This is all in an ideal world

Hello, an APC more vulnerable to AT Light or 2 Ammunition by AT Infante, to balance the units, is an idea.
