Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 This coop mission Im making is Vanilla Arma2 no Ace2. I have a couple of armor units on the map and no matter how i try it seems nigh impossible to destroy them with SMAWs. I hit them in the side and in the rear and still they roll on lol I am using the HEDP - maybe not as effective as the HEAA? Or is there a better rocket launcher that the Ghosts might use?

Pringle~SPARTA~ Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 HEDP (Dual Purpose) are used as anti personnel mostly. You can take out lightly armored assets with them, but for anything heavy you will want the HEAA (Anti Armor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSierra Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) The SMAW is widely used and considered the best overall AT weapon in ArmA 2 by many if used with the HEAA rounds. HEDP can also devastate large groups of infantry. Edited July 4, 2010 by DeltaSierra~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 ah i see - i will switch to the HEAA and see if that works any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 much better - 2 smaws for a tank and 1 for a tunguska - happy with that. just tested mission with someone else and it appears to be working well i think problem may be fixed - the init.sqf was messy so i cleaned it up.

Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Actually I destroyed my targets with only 1 HEAT, on the online server. There was a tank too, so it should be 1 only. Maybe u missed the first shot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Sorry to rev an old thread but even well placed shots on tanks still takes 2 to get it to blow (in my experience). Maybe it had already been hit once? But yes, SMAW's are the pimp-est anti-vehicle weapon in the game. Nothing more exciting than doing damage to a tank 1100 meters away with an unguided rocket!

Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) Yep, i think you are right, it was probably already damaged. I noticed in several occasions it needs a couple of shots for a tank. Sometimes after the first shot the crew flees tho, which is also better And yes again, MAAWS is way too much accurate at long range. There is almost no drop on the rocket trajectory. Well , I never fired a real one, so I cannot really say how good or bad is that model EDIT: I just realized maybe we are talking of 2 different weapons, however the one I am talking about is way powerful Edited August 4, 2010 by Batwing~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
