I think most if not all of us could agree on this. Rocket soldier officers are useless right now, it's too hard to hit a distant vehicle and takes more skill to even hit a vehicle with a rocket than it does the vehicle driver to kill you.

Could future renguard map releases fix every westwood map to allow Gunner / GDI and Nod rocket soldier officers rockets to home in?

Also if possible, enable them to home in 50% of the time or control them like the MRLS does (3 or at the minimum 2 of the MRLS rockets home in on enemy vehicles).

In that case, could you enlighten me as to how? Distant tank movements take accurate judgement, especially with a standard officer, and even harder for aircraft. Hitting them should be a simpler procedure, since rockets (similar to SAM sites) were designed to be anti-tank. They don't even do much damage to moderate / heavily armoured tanks, so why should it be difficult to him them?

Hmm I would think for rocket soldier/gunner, I would like it if by default the rockets homed, but you could alt-fire to fire them straight, non-homing.

Doesn't matter. Infantry aren't tanks, Rocket Soldiers should have an advantage over tanks with homing missiles. They had them in C&C. It would make them actually worth purchasing, because they could also down aircraft with them - replacing the n00b cannon "snipers" (I use that term in quotation marks, simply because snipers in Renegade are n00b units until the balancing is fixed.) with true anti-air capability that's fair for both sides, not just one.

Rockets shouldn't home, they're not really horribly difficult to hit with as it is, especially vs. infantry. I've had games of 40 or 50 kills with a Gunner before. The only exception is aircraft, but given the fact that you're using dumbfire rockets this is unsurprising. Aircraft are already fragile as is, regular rifle soldiers can kill them in 1.3 clips (as GDI) or 2 clips (as Nod)... if you can take them out with free characters with relative ease I don't think you should make them even bigger targets by making rockets home on them.

Armor of aircraft would be increased to 225\225, 250\250 for Transport Helicopters. Armor isn't really that big of an issue with them if that's implemented.

Or like you could have a sniper do a little less damage to airunits.
Now it takes 6 shots to take out an orca for example, increase this to 10 shots or maybe even 12 for havoc/sakura and 16 for 500$ snipers.

If you do this, you could always have a Sidney/Raveshaw to take them out, only the distance from which its possible is alot shorter.
Or you could increase the armor yes.

I think if the snipers are that big of an issue (which I don't believe they are given how fast aircraft pwn infantry with their guns) just make it so they do half as much damage to the aircraft armor type.

Make a new armor type or change the snipers' warhead type, keep all the other damage ratios the same, but decrease to 50% of the current value what snipers do to them.

Or just make aircraft specialized, ala C&C, and remove sniper damage on all vehicles to remove the newberism inherent with it.

Its safe to say that not everyone can or will agree on the perfect way to improve things, in fact some dont want anythign changed at all. I'm just hoping that everyone can discuss it without losing their cool.

Do you guys realize how much a rifle can damage a lightly armoured vehicle? If you hit it in the right place you can disable a aircraft, its just that they move so fast that a human could not get such a good shot. I dont think the problem is with the damage of the bullet, but with the fact that Renegade has no realistic physics, if we could make weapons more realistic, it would improve a lot of things, but thats not easy, so instead of making the weapons realistic, you just can adjust the damage of them, so with all things concidered, lowering the damage amount on vehicles for sniper rifles is the best option, besides... sniper rifles aren't made to fight vehicles.

Last time I checked a shot to the pilot's head still means that sniper rifles work pretty well in taking down vehicles. It's a shame you can't do this in Ren.

What I don't like is when a Havoc/Sakura camp outside of visual range and throw a beatdown on the enemy base defenders because their rifles can target beyond visual range.

There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

Rotate the turret on MRL, and if snipers can't damage aircraft anymore, what will?

if the Rockets are going to be changed, if possible it should only happen with Gunner, and not the basic rocket infantry. It would give it another reason for purchasing the more expensive unit. Nod has the LCG Black Hand to compensate for this.

Why not the lower class rocket infantry? Simply because it's a lower class. And for the extra price, Gunner only gets a slight increase in damage, rate of fire and health. Having tracking rockets to compensate for Nods higher accuracy LCG would help balance things out.

The rockets shouldn't home, but it would be easy to do.
