you can't shoot an RPG accurately past 50 meters anymore, any further and it's pure guessing and luck
[QUOTE=JerryK;31316850]you can't shoot an RPG accurately past 50 meters anymore, any further and it's pure guessing and luck[/QUOTE]
The RPG has a fairly stable drop rate, I just tested it ingame with like 10 PG-7's.
[editline]24th July 2011[/editline]
Fine, if you're going to disagree with me I'll make a video demonstrating how easy it is to hit a target at 150M, and 250M.
[editline]24th July 2011[/editline]
Okay, uploading it now... as you can see in the video I was able to hit a target at about 150M+ fairly accurately which afaik is enough in insurgency maps. The second 2 PG-7's I fired hit a trash fire fairly accurately at 250M+(1 first one adjusting for the distance as I hardly use the RPG but instead IED's.) then the second one hitting spot on. When defending a cache against a APC this will be much easier as you will have multiple people firing RPG's at it instead of just one.

Thanks for the video, I hadn't seen it myself.
If they're going to make the drop that dramatic they should add adjustable sights, too bad then you'll need to be the squad leader or be some master at guesswork to get it right. So far I'm thinking bad change- no benefits.
I'll still need to test it out myself.
That video proves that it drops alot, good job? In your original post you said you could hit them at 300m no problem. You probably sat beside that cache and fired about 20 RPG's before you started recording.

Yeah, I said it drops alot but its still usable, just take distance into effect more.

Basrah kind of sucks, Im not sure why everybody likes it. Can you get Burning Sands added to rotation on merk?[/QUOTE]
It was my favourite map back in the day. The fact that the 32 layer doesn't have MBTs for the Brits makes it more balanced, too. I hated it since they took out the Merlin/Lynx and replaced them with more armour.
I'll see about getting Burning Sands added to the rotation. I don't think we've had it on since the update.

[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;31319858]The only problem with rockets in this game is getting the launcher out in the whole minute it takes to set up and shoot it. Like that HAT kit.[/QUOTE]
It's annoying when using the HAT yourself, but it's more of a balance thing. If people could whip out their SMAWs and have them ready in half a second like vBF2, armour wouldn't survive a minute within a HAT's vicinity.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;31320046]Yeah, I said it drops alot but its still usable, just take distance into effect more.[/QUOTE]
It is not accurate, and barely usable if you can't see what you're shooting at, there's no elevation markers on the RPG so every shot is a guess.

Thats why the russian armed forces are upgrading.
Don't most RPG-7's have the ironsights as backup only, with the optics being for primary use
I'd imagine the optics had some elevation markers

yes... Russians use optics but third world nations dont as its expensive.
Morbo, you're such a liar. I started playing on merk again like a week ago and since then the admins have been pretty nice to me. Then today that abullet idiot permanently bans me for asking why he told someone to move away from south city even though he had no reason to request that, we were fighting for east city on muttrah. I questioned him and he gave some sort of absolute "because I said so" response. I then said "how is that even a reason, thats the most bullshit response from a admin I've ever heard in PR." and BOOM permabanned for "greifing". Hopefully some of you here will note this general review of merk's admins. His general attitude was shitty aswell, he was acting all elitist and shit just because his guid is in a text file.
Heheh.
Played a game on Dragonfly, we were the insurgent dudes with the caches, and our squad was defending that larger base up north from the Taliban HQ, facing the water.
It's been pretty quiet; a couple of boats have come towards us but we held them off easily. It's been almost completely quiet for about ten minutes plus, we're just sitting there talking about how boring it's getting when suddenly an explosive hits us out of nowhere. :v:
Anyone know how to get Punkbuster to stop kicking me for heartbeats stopped, and how to update it without it stopping me because it's "Already updated"

The server has a rule against attacking flags that aren't in play. The fact that you made some snide remark in response won't help your situation, even if it was an error of judgement. If you think abullet's in the wrong, take it to the forums. You'll probably have your ban lifted once an admin's awake to read your thread depending on how you handle it. Just keep in mind that nobody in Merk will take kindly to people showing us no respect.
Got the already updated problem fixed, now I just need to be able to play without Punkbuster be fucking me in the asshole.

Disabling steam overlay works in stuff like WoW and MW1.

Go to Control panel > Administrative Tools > Services, find all punkbuster related services and make sure their startup types are set to automatic. Also make sure any firewalls/av programs aren't interfering.
I have a retail copy.

I've done that multiple times already. I'll give it a shot one more time but I don't expect it to work.
Download pbsvc.exe and do all the BF related shit with that? What else have you tried doing to fix it so far?
Everything you can think of.
[editline]25th July 2011[/editline]
Seriously, try and suggest something, I guarantee you that I've already tried it.

Thats a extremely retarded rule. Merk is stupid and Im never playing there again, not even on my alt.

Have you ever played on a server where the entire team is on a flag that can't be capped/doesn't need defending? That's how rounds are lost. It's to encourage more fair yet actually competitive gameplay. But by your evident lack of maturity I'll forgo further explanation and just say, something's telling me you won't be missed.

Make me a list. It'll be harder to help you if people are just gonna be spouting out options you've already exhausted.
That said, I do remember having a similar problem with all PB games, and it wasn't solved until I formatted. That's obviously a piss-take and a last resort, though.

"Lack of maturity", is that your excuse for elitist admins who think they own the world because they have their guid in a .py file? Also, I believe players should be able to play the way they want. Not have some stupid admin tell them where they can or cannot go(other then mainbase ofc) on a 4x4Km map. I also enjoyed how you said "encourage" when its clearly forced.

You're just a drop in the ocean when it comes to those who have a problem with the Merk server.
I never attempted to defend abullet's actions, but the fact of the matter is it's not your server, so you don't make the rules. And your inability to either obey those rules, even after being warned, or otherwise leave quietly does display a lack of maturity. That and pretty much every comment you've made in this thread since our little argument began. Like I said, you have a problem with the administration, I'm not the person to talk to.
Merk have some stupid as shit rules but they are decent to play at if you don't really hang yourself up in the rules really.
I miss when skyttergraven was active :(

Yes I tried all of those. Note that this has happened on my old computer and this computer. I use a G15 keyboard and USB headsets.

On my old computer, all I had to do was take the headset out and restart the computer, and it worked. But now that doesn't work on my new computer.

I don't think it'll have anything to do with either of those. I'm guessing you've googled the error but if not here's a thread that might be useful [url]http://battletracker.com/forum/battlefield2-forums/battlefield-2-support-forum/43603-punkbuster-heartbeats-stopped/[/url]
