Why doesn't it work? It doesn't give you more armor points, it just lets you take less damage.
I understood that, but i did not have a way of "testing" it yet, but it does not feel better protected. Might be wrong about that, but the machine gun that should come with teh firepower perk is definately not there.

It isn't the firepower perk, firepower adds more damage to projectiles such as missiles and shells.. the armor secondary weapon is a locked unlockable in the beta..

i thought so too, but with a good gunner it hardly matters.

I am 99% certain that is says ingame and in the pre-purchase bonus list that secondary vehicle weapon =/= firepower

There's another spec that adds the co-axial gun. And another one that makes the alt-fire a zoom feature.

Hm, so far we got in the beta:
- Spotting thingy
- improved armor
- more damage (no new weapon tho)

The others are:
- smoke
- secondary weapon
- zoom
- faster reload for main weapon

So BC2 lets you customize your char with perks like MW2 then? What's the ETA on release?

Sortof like perks, just not ones that increase the rate of fire of your gun. Some are weapon attachments.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

e.g. The assault class has 3 types of barrel mounted grenade launchers... Frag, smoke and shotgun... the latter of which, is 100% useless since it can fire once before having to reload and is much less powerfull than the normal fire of an assault rifle...

That's quite silly tbh since a real grenadier carries all three types of rounds Why would they complicate things by making it a perk instead of just a toggle? Oh well.

Because if it was a toggle it would be MASSIVELY unbalanced (You are "assault" class, not "grenadier")

EDIT: And do they really have shotgun rounds for underbarrel grenades these days irl?

They do have buckshot rounds, yeah.

One word: balance. You can't have everything, you have to decide what you like most / can use best. No allround-overlord-kit.

Well, I understand the need for balance, I just don't understand why giving both smoke grenades and noobtube rounds is overpowering.

You can cover a field with smoke, run in, and noobtube the hell out off them and finish them off with the shotgun (if it wasn't borked)

You are right, I jsut looked it up ingame. Its not advanced Warheads, but Advanced Firepower or something like that. Mixed those two up. vOv

Is it me or does the tracer darts not work properly. The RPG's don't seem to lock on/home in very well. Sometimes they do, but mostly they don't. And it only lasts for about 10 seconds. I feel it's largely useless. You're better off having a real pistol instead and just using the regular spot to keep people informed about the enemy vehicles.

Plus the muzzle velocity of the tracer dart is so slow that it's frustrating how much you need to lead and compensate for drop on moving things.

Stick to the stationary AT mounts, they reload quite fast and usually you can take fools down quick with it.

really? they work perfectly for me all the time

just make sure you're not trying to do something like fire over a massive hill and it should work

Tracer darts are so overpowered, A single engineer with tracer dart and RPG can suppress a tank to keep it from advancing... e.g. tracerdart the tank, go into your hideyhole (aka the first B Mcom station) and look at the dart-square-indicator (yes aim straight into the ground at it) untill it locks (stops blinking) then fire straight up into the air to see the epic arc the rocket makes as it turns towards its target which will by now either be rolling backwards to hide or drive to its certain death....

Works on snipers too

EDIT: Tracer darts have NO bullet drop, what-so-ever...

EDIT2: Stationary AT is a nice way to get lead fillings in your head since all of them are placed where the snipers look half the time...
