Recoiless jeeps
« on: January 25, 2012, 12:06:18 AM »
First off awesome mod! Serious high fives to the creators!

Quick question why the hell can the recoilless rifles on the SAS jeeps hit nothing? I recently tried with 3 squads with them to take out one half track.. and it took nearly 5 minutes....

RRs on the jeeps are insanely OP. 2 jeep squads can annihilate a P4 or Panther.

They will be edited and changed in a future patch devoted to fixing RMC.

Accuracy problems? I dunno. I don't have Corsix infront of me and I don't remember their accuracy while moving as opposed to while stationary. Try stopping and firing then moving again.

Firing while moving they're inaccurate...as Wizard said, fire with a static vehicle.  ;)

Just shoot and scoot as I like to say :P :D. That improves accuracy of all units basically :P

Thanks for the advice.

However I had already worked out that weapons fired from a stationary position are generally more accurate than one bouncing around at pre-school...

I will play test it again, but for the moment it seems that the jeeps seem to have a problem hitting targets accurately on elevations (a half track climbing a hill for example).

I'd have to echo Cranialwizard. I've played as the RMC extensively, and I've never noticed a problem with their accuracy. What seems to be the problem with them is actually that their penetration is much higher than it should be.

Glad to hear the RMC is going to be tweaked a bit more. I really enjoy playing them as opposed to the vCoH Brits, and probably would play as them consistently if I didn't have to give up my Sherman Firefly.

I think the Firefly is a iconic Brit unit :P. The comet just looks like a beefy Cromwell with a 17pdr :P

It's a sturdier tank though. It is less iconic than the slit trench.
