Decrease Base Sticky Damage to 200

Not too many people are rifleman in the beginning, so I don't see it much of a problem.

 

Are you new to the game?

 

We could always just make it so that reactive has a 50% chance to zap anything attached to it (sticky stun bomb too).

 

.....

So you want super LTs to be even more powerful?

 

Shit man, it says I joined these fourms 3 years ago. I'm OG mr sarcast

And if you cant dodge a slow moving shell with a huge trail of smoke behind it then kill a gren with a rifle you suck.

 

Don't lie dubester!
You know your new ;D

 

lol, yeah sure, whatever.
The mortar will kill you with one shot, If you dodge it, the gren will scurry behind something before you can lay enough shots to kill him. And that's long range fighting, at close range the gren can just shoot the thing without you having time to answer.

 

Wow... lol
I don't get all these people that get owned so badly by mortar, they must be HMG whores that try to kill you from across the map?

 

must be ^, mobile riflemen are a bitch to hit w a mortar cause you gotta lead em, and they can just go back the other way after you fire. the only reason a rifleman has any real reason to fear a gren is if they are HMG whoring.

 

every class is deadly at close range

 

At 1vs1 riflemen do beat grenadiers on open spaces.
But at close range and at spaces with a lot of crap to hide behind, grenadiers will always get the jump on everyone else
Grenadiers can jump out of a wall, pop a shell, and jump back into the wall.
A rifleman doesn't have enough time to dodge the shell and then efficiently shoot at the gren, unless he shoots while running, which isn't efficient.

 

throw a nade

 

or get the jump on him

 

rifleman are only better than grenadiers against heavy tanks because it's impossible to kill heavies with grenadier.

otherwise, gren > rifleman.

 

yep, stickies have better dps than rpg or mortar, and heavies are quite large targets

 

Except when you use armor detection and squad arty. Or just armor detection and find the weak side and pick at it.

 

Unless its an infantry map, or an infantry only area, I usually carry stikies, and so do most riflemen.

 

You say unless its an infantry map or infantry only area which is "at close range and at spaces with a lot of crap to hide behind" So you should have regular nades.

 

Just use dig in. Works every time.

 

Its not like you cant equip an MG early game.....
