Paratroopers sucks!
« on: September 18, 2011, 09:27:02 PM »
3 Squads with 2 Bazookas each shot 6 rockets and none of them hit a stationary puma!!!

Second reload.. THEY MISS AGAIN!

They don't hit shit! I just lost just now because i thought recoilless rifles were an ok counter against light armor but no!

THEY ARE A COUNTER TO CHURCHES, TREES, FENCES and MUD!



GOD DAMN THEY SUCK SOOO OMFGPSAGP HARD!


When the game ended the darn armored car still was still alive. I got it imobilized with sticky's but the darn recoiless didn't manage to kill it before the 2 pios repeared it back to full! Because they never hit it once! OMG! RAGE!

EF doesn't change vanilla (not counting a few needed exceptions). What you experienced is a rather unique thing I think so EF won't change the para's

U Mad Bro? Just kidding ;)

I think RR have a tendency to "phase through" their target. Like AC's.

RR shouldn't be your main AT anyways. You should be using AT gun in conjunction with rifleman and a few para's.

And 3 squads of para's is a bit abundant if you ask me :P

IDK about their accuracy. Did you have them charge at the Puma? Maybe you should flank them. Or shoot the pios repairing :P. Food for thought

It was only one PUMA And i stole 3 of his paks.. but whatever :P They were placed at different chokes, but he managed to take out the crew in they from the front with 5 shots so they only hit it once or twice... I never got the finnishing blow because the RR's missed -,-

Yea i'm mad, and no you can't change nutn.

Also the game before that i got a bug.. I couldn't retreat my squads... So i They got stuck in craters :(

No not at all.. Because i had allready stickied it the time i rage about. Twice actually so it was imobilized and had 10% hp left. And i was comming from the side. And The squads were down 1-2 man.. so it was a total of 6 rifle's.. And the rifles of paras suck, so i'd much rather focus down the puma... Just needed one shot right?

Well after 12 the infantry came from the other side of the map to back it up so i had to run -,-



THEY ACTUALLY ONLY HIT THE GROUND AROUND; NO PHASING NO NUTN!

They just can't shoot for shit -,-

I don't know why there are so many people like you who are coming into EF and trying to make it your own little noob haven.  EF will not change anything from the vanilla factions, and this includes the USA paratroopers.

This is a learn to play issue.  Stop bitching.

Well I wouldn't really put it the way other people described :-\.

Instead use ths loss as a moment to learn :P. Now we (or maybe you) know that you're AT defenses should be positioned and used better. And not so much RR. Get a M10 or Hellat :P

"Flames! Take Cover"

As this is either a troll or a blithering idiotic statement on the verge of being flame wars I second we close it.

RRs are fine. They phase through pumas often and it's part of the game, infect they have the highest penetration levels in inf at weapons.

Learn to play and adapt or stop whining.

Whats your problem? You say that i want things changed and all. But i've never said that. Nor am i crying about balance then this would be in the general sugestion section.

I'm just mad cus i got a bad set of troopers who dropped out of second grade and then joined the army to get paid since they couldn't get jobs!

Next time Airborne divisions will send me real men  8)

I REFUSE TO LEARN!
I'm going to use paras until i win vs light armor with em :P
Those suckers only suck cus they don't want to be called out on the field of war again. They want to go home to the states.

But naaw i say.. naaw yah hear!

I'm going to drop paras just to see them killed by callibers the size of their thighs! If they keep missing they'll be sendt back from the war in a ... Doggy BAG with only a finger in it cus they found no other piece left of em.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Phasing means hitting lampposts, cats and grass in the ground between them and the unit? If they do that as often as you say, they do indeed need a shooting lesson. :o

But in all seriousness, this could be call trolling.. But i'd like to call it "Whine alot to feel better" Sounds cooler that way!

Video that explains it all

You're not here bitching about the balance.  Instead you're just outright bitching, which is even worse.  Take it to off-topic section or something.  And even when its in the off-topic section, I still don't see the point of this post.  And someone that knows how this forum crap works plz fix my post.  I can't seem to unquote this.

As much as I like to talk, I personally feel this thread should be closed for a bit. We've esstablished:

-Pumas are invisible to RR :P
-Airborne failed on the shooting range :P
-Anything to do with past gameplay, especially in vCOH will be subject to instant "flaming" by both balancers and noobs alike :(.

As we know, these points aren't very useful. Lets end it now while we still feel stupid and annoyed, not upset and angry :-\
