Rocket launcher auto reloads after missile has gone a certain distance

Rocket launcher auto reloads after missile has gone a certain distance

pretty much that. it's really, really irritating. more than that. All those awesome long range kills i used to love are now gone. I hope this can be fixed.

 

I was wondering why my guidance seemed to bugger up on long range shots...

 

It has a limit on far it can be shot. Once it reaches that limit it stops guiding.

 

why?

it's not like it stops rocket sniping. it just stops fun kills

 

Aww. Usually I have to fire slightly farther than the max limit

 

I find this to be a really distracting part of the game. As if guiding the rockets isn't difficult enough, there's not much control as it is.

 

yes, i agree with everyone else, if you're going to rocket snipe, you're going to be aiming at inanimate objects. REDUCING the guiding ability of rockets only reduces their effectiveness on mobile targets, therefore increasing their relative usefullness against immobile ones. Thus this limit only increases rocket sniping, imo.

But I play grenadier third least frequently out of the four classes, so i suppose i could be wrong.

 

if you dont like the distance problem grow some balls and get closer thats what has to be done with an rpg in real life there are no longrange shots like you want so just get closer

 

this is fixed in 2.1 anyways

 

But this isn't an RPG, RPGs are not guided, this is a missile launcher, which I think you'll find is designed to be used from long range.

 

also this isn't real life

 

Real men hunt tanks as rifleman ;D

 

Wait...you can guide the rockets? how?

and yes i'm fairly new to empires, i've been playin for maybe 2 weeks to a month

 

I would think that apparently futuristic militaries such as those in Empires would have technology far superior to Cold War-era missile launchers like the RPG-7...

Heheh, indeed...
"YOU WANT SOME OF THIS, HEAVY TANKS!? I'M GONNA DIVIDE YOU BY ZERO! *beep beep boop*"

 

hold down the trigger next time

 

no, REAL men hunt tanks with sticky stun grenades and have them drive into the water

 

meh, Just have the rocket drop off after so long. It's not like a TOW or Cruise missile your shooting...

although, cruise missiles would be awesome in conjunction with a scout XD

 

I think someone got the wrong end of the stick...

 

Real men use stun grenades to drive tanks off ledges.

 

Many thanks =D
this'll help me out a ton
