why is TOW so OP

[BaD-A1m]

Like I get it for FOB and infantry to be able to defend themselves against vehicles but when a scout car with tow missiles on top of a mountain is stronger then tanks ifvs apc an other stuff and can completly destroy any vehicle on the map? like why ? Driving with Warrior , no sound nothing just "woosh", straight to death screen, driving behind infantry like i should to support their push , a scout car from the forrest boom, Like at the moment the most powerful vehicle in game is a scout car with TOW.... completely kills any vehicle gameplay , I dont think any vehicle in game should have TOW at all , only fob tows. Now some will be like "realism",,, well okay then , lets give all Pro armies scopes on all weps, and all insurgents or militias bad crappy AK's with no scopes and Improvised mortars/IEDS that are more likely to blow up and kill the users then work , ,Lest make mortars misfire as well and kill the users because "realism",,, The point im making is if its bad for the game we should change it and not cover it behind "realism" BS

The BRDM-2 Spandrel? It has no means to defend itself from infantry really which can destroy it pretty easy given it's lightly armored, you don't have to be that picky with where you hit it. I think even a LAW rocket will do the trick, at least disable it. It also doesn't have the ability to pop smoke.

BRDM-2 yah man fast small double tow fire, but other IFVs have tows too making whole game twich who shoots first win , and BTRS and Strykers are just useless now

yah but has capability of destroying everything it sees when it comes to vehicles plus ,, most people aint stupid enough to drive into infantry ,,, they just get on top of a hill or mountain and just dominate the whole map almost.

Yes but like everything else it has it's pros and cons. You're eventually going to draw a lot of attention to yourself and when you're in a lightly armored vehicle with absolutely no means to defend yourself other than wasting missiles which may not work in your favor. Those missiles work best in an offensive manner, not defensive.

But even you have to agree that 1 shoting vehicles is total BS

I don't, it's balanced.

I understand your points about realism. But TOWs are the most important ground weapons today on real battlefields.
But I get youur pain, there is NO game currently that even remotly simulates the impact of tanks or other armored vehicles in a war setting...

[Garack]

choppers will come. well anti air too..

[Twitch]

the TOWs are actually there to balance the fight, yes i agree scout cars are Kinda OP in a way. But that is only because of the current skill level of the players and Squad leaders. Scouting and identifying targets/communicating that information to other squads is not happening. So it"Feels" like the SPANDREL is OP but in fact a well organised squad supported by a BFV is far more OP.

Until I see BTRs and Strykers still killing infantry effectively, remember that they are not meant to fight other vehicles...

someone said it earlier, all this stuff is being used wrong in public servers due to general skill of the player base. This game is being developed so that the vehicle assets are made to be used properly, not like some battlefield game. everyone has access to see what vehicles are available on the map for both teams, team leads are responsible to take this into account and then communicate/maneuver with other teams to find and then engage. so if you see an armor heavy map then its up to infantry to find the armor and call in tanks or have tow's setup from a hab. if an enemy infantry squad is spotted then call in a stryker. 7.62 will shred light armored vics as well. theres a lot to learn to play the game right while just a base knowledge well get you into the game so to speak.

Good luck trying coordinate players and squad leaders to all operate like military personal.... Half of the time Vehicles do their own thing, and infantry dont really care about vehicles , Half of the squads fights over objectives that cant be capped , and no one ever stays and defends. Jezz sometimes the ACTUAL players in a squad isnt even coordinating and your talking about whole team...

The Shaking when you Launch is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ exagerated and stupid. Like you're firing a Cannon from a Battle Cruiser its ridiculous. You should be able to at least see something on the sights. I Hate the arcade ♥♥♥♥ they do so the game is more competitive.
