a homing mod could be a thing if the rokkit launcha ever gets mod slots. idk about matching the dps of a melta. that seems a bit extreme for a longer ranged weapon. I fully support buffing rokkit damage tho. maybe like zzap/lascannon damage?
Or ya boyz can just use yer' 'ead and krump da tank with yer Choppa! In all honesty though, My rokkit does like .000006 damage to a vehicle of any time, and i'm pretty sure it's a bug. Lets fix that, then talk about AV killing.
Zzap guns do take vehicles down just fine in my opinion. Biggest issue with that meltacombo is that it's really hard to guard from because it takes down vehicles so fast that you can't necessarily block it even if you have people guarding the vehicle. I do kinda think it's fair to be able to kill a vehicle reliably if you get that close with a meltagun though, but it could use some tweaking. I don't know how much melta gun melta bomb combo costs in terms of loadout points, but considering it's effectiveness, I'd expect that you'd only be able to use your standard armor with that.
The meltagun is honestly just TOO GOOD at it's job. There is almost no way to get a melta guy off your trukk in time to save it, even if you're standing around waiting for him. If you're hitting it with artillery, it takes longer, enemies can get to you or move the vehicle. Power Klaws are hilariously easy to counter, as you have to charge up to deal real damage to the tank, leaving you open to any form of counter attack or the vehicle just driving away if you miss your first hit. Meltas can kill vehicles that simply DRIVE PAST THEM, if not going at full speed, unobstructed. How is that fun for anyone?
Nah melta spam works as well as it does right now because the other factions have much easier vehicles to do that with. Try tank hunting with a trukk it would be a nightmare.
Rokkits need to be more reliable against vehicles right now. At this point the only reason I get a kill with a rocket is either point blank or when it corkscrews in the right direction (which is rarer the farther away you fire). I feel like its just a bad version of a plasma cannon that's no where near as effective. You almost might as well melee the damn thing with a klaw instead considering a Rokkit's effective range is not much farther than a krak grenade.
Kannon is fine for a long range AV weapon with the Zzaapp Gun being the best one for pure vehicle. We need our Melta-Bombs fixed before anything, also the fact that our boyz die when they destroy a vehicle with a power claw 90% of the time sucks (explosion from vehicle or just swarm of noob right mouse button spammers) I love the idea of homing mod for the rocket launchers but imo it should lock onto a random "thing" after it has traveled so far... also Squigs... we want Squigs =))
Who needs homing rokkits!? I nailed a LSM at over 100m+ from the harkus wall. Clearly you just need the skillz ta aim! Jk I was using the dead shiny rokkit launcha and the shot didnt twist at all, straight as an arrow, and I nailed a guy fleeing a rhino about to explode.
Just so you guys know the rokkit launcha you get from the 5k boxes does more damage than the one you can purchase and can kill a tank with 6 shots to the rear armor. It's still 10times(literally) slower than a melta, but to be fair, it is a longer range and has more practical anti-infantry applications. I've also had success chasing after vehicles with a trukk and double krak nading them. Each does 25% so one extra trip to the supply on the trukk and you can gib a vehicle in decent fashion. Honestly I don't know why everyone just doesn't field at least 1 sticky stikkbomb so we can all run by and toss a nade on the rear armor and be done with it. Not saying any of this crap is comparable to double melta fun/bomb combo, but its something that's fairly successful.
You gotta hit the rear armor of vehicles now. Front armor and to an extent the side armor is tough. Skinned and dead shiny rokkit do fine damage to vehicles, just hard to aim. Yes please can everyone use krak grenades? Vehicle damage+ the easiest way to take an RMB spammer with you for only 20 more points. (for real though dbash and stikkbomb melee opponents for fun times)
