This is a classic case of going on about a subject you have no clue about, try ork try rokkit then quote your post and correct it. 1. The rocket has a 2 second charge time that is interrupted if the ork takes any damage even 1 bullet. 2. Rokkits are only effective short to mid range 3. A roll makes you invulnerable to a rokkit so does lag. 4. PC has a larger AOE rokkit needs to land at the players feet to kill , there is minimal splash damage. 5. This is our only viable AV weapon we do not have grav or melta. So this pop out and shoot thing your waffling about means the player has come out stopped seen you charge it for 2 seconds and been lucky enough to catch you scratching your butt to kill you not forgetting you can hear the "hiss" noise quite loudly. So I really dont think its a case of a player "outplaying" the other then getting hit by the rokkit I suggest your too dumb to :- 1. Shoot 2. hit 3. roll 4. situational awareness L2p my friend Oh I usually bring this puppy out when I meet a premade that decides to cover a point with 5 PC`s
I only really use the rokkit for transport hunting duty, but I can't deny it feels good when I fire it at an ammo crate a bunch of people are hanging around.
So I'm going to go out on a limb and say you missed the part where I specifically stated I was working on older information so forgive any discrepancies? Or...do you just talk like that to everyone... But hey, it's cool, I know we all have to have our temper tantrum days.
90% of the time, when I kill Marines with a Rokkit, they're basically standing still, or moving very slowly in a predicable manner, usually shooting at me with a Boltgun. It's their own fault they make it easy. Despite that, it's still not easy. I've watched Rokkits go straight through Marines, or explode at their feet and do nothing. Most of the time, the Rokkit will land just out of lethal range or miss wildly. I also LOVE the Devastators that just sit there, trying to shoot you, with rokkits exploding all around them, yet they don't move and keep shooting until they finally get hit and die. He had PLENTY of time to get the fuck away.
I think it's hilarious that they try tanking it, which is how i get most of my Inf kills, or firing down from above. (Though i then usually die pretty quick to JPA's, particularly with the Fist wave ongoing.) I've stated in a thread, why is the rokkit eveing being compared to the PC when the Kannon is far more close to the PC than the Rokkit is. the only difference is the kannon users got no self defence if people get close, because the snapshot fires a grenade unlike the PC plasma bolt.
Better than a grenade you have to fire at their feet then try to Dbash stun in the proximity of it. Without A, the grenade not killing them because reasons (Our stikkbombs for he most part don't either, just stun. Stikky ones do though.) or B, them somehow ignoring the Dbash stun. (I'm looking at you back boosting JPA's!) You also have a 2sec reload to reload, but won't get another shot off.
