It's better but stil not good. Missiles are still the way to go for "gunning and running". And you finaly got a guy who knows how to rep at the end :-D

[@user42170]

Its still a peashooter

[@todd4958]

I really enjoy your play style. Like you know when to push and hold an objective, and when to bail when things get too hectic. I just can’t say it enough, keep it up!

[@Raptor_i81]

Thank you mate, really appreciate your opinion.

[@sneakysealpuptv9379]

Thanks for trying it out. Seems like missiles are still the way to go but the 40 and 105 needed a buff.

[@Raptor_i81]

Yes missiles still the way to go.

[@Bravo-xm9qg]

I’ve tried the 40 and the 105, I’ll stick to the missiles. It’s a little better. But you can’t beat the missiles.

[@Raptor_i81]

You can't do anything to vehicles without the missiles and vehicles are too juicy to skip 😉

​@Raptor_i81 and it looks like the hmg is more reliable for inf. Too

That sums the 40mm situation 😥

[@Axehilt]

Might still be the worst of the 3? Doesn't mean it can't get work done, but the reload time feels pretty extreme in sustained fights -- and many fights _will_ be sustained fights due to it still not killing all that fast.
I also lean towards 12.7mm Thermal for my gunner. 40mm Grenade Launcher is close in value, especially on rare occasions when enemies are clumped or around cover, but 12.7mm lets a good gunner be an excellent DPS laser at all times (and also provide fantastic spotting).
Specifically the reason I lean 12.7mm is that anytime you have to fight from 50m or longer (which can be a lot, depending on map), the 12.7mm is going to _way_ outperform Grenades. (Granted, the gap should narrow as skill level increases, but I think 12.7mm will always have the advantage.)

[@Raptor_i81]

If it's the worst and I think it is, then no one will select it, it has to be a viable option that me and you argue about which one is better X or Y, currently I think everyone agree it's not worth it.

[@Axehilt]

@@Eric-qx1kx Yeah generally I dislike tanks that bring TOW, unless most of the rest of the kit is very anti-infantry (HE cannon, good coax-HMG play, and/or mortar/volley). I do think it has value if you have a duo teammate and want to work through several enemy vehicles that are causing your team problems, but I basically never choose it myself.

[@gangsta_goose]

Sick man! Seems like it's way more usable now. PS what the heck happened at 7:30??

[@Raptor_i81]

The guuner destroyed 3 mines in the last fraction of a second before it kill us 😅.

[@gangsta_goose]

@@Raptor_i81 I tensed up haha. Netcode be silly.
