When using the alternate fire button with the AR rockets to set the air burst range, 1 notch of my mouse wheel changes the range by 2 meters, i only want it to move 1 meter.
Is this the norm? Or is it something to do with my configuration?

Its normal, you dont really need to adjust the meter with the wheel much.

EMP grenades, Sentry drones, deployable spawn points, cloaking device, assault rilfe shotgun, adjustable zoom scope, shock-paddles that don't need to recharge after every use, hovering mines, personal radar units.... The list goes on.

I love the unlocks they are so cool.

I saw a movie of the moving proximity mines (or what ever they are) blowing up a tank. Hiliarous. Watching that almost made me leave work and go buy the game.

They're a ton of fun to deploy and watch also...especially against Walkers. I tossed 4 of them out last night. The walker pilot saw them too late...they had already popped up off the ground and were moving toward him. He stops and they stop just short of him. He was trying to shoot them...giving me time to finish him off with my rockets......LOL!!!!

Why are you here then?

"Yeah so I dropped down and selected the sentry drone with my Ganz HMG and we boarded the titan with the APC drop silos, it was really good there were snipers pinning us down, but the assault threw a smoke and we rushed into the vents, from there we destroyed all the consoles and cleared out the hallway, then I destroyed the titan core and we won it for our team it was really good and all the Meches on the ground were like omgwtf! and then the railgun blew them up, but a guy knifed the railgun, and he got some more dogtags, an I was all like wow! I want to knife him! and I did so we had a knife fight and I got his tags and now I get to choose another unlock because of the field upgrade, so I chose..."

WORD! the AR shotgun really sucks when a squad of guys come running up to you because you only get 3 rounds per clip. so the VOSS + AR rocket + defib = medic pwnage

QFT

And an extra metre is nothing, they still kill in 2/3 shots so don't worry.

I use the shotgun attachment some times when I am going VERY VERY close, i.e. Titan corridor cargo corridor.
I am proficient at it so most of the time I do not require myself to spend more than 2 rounds into an enemy. Rockets are useful in longer corridors like the ones leading to consoles and in general titan area but I just can't resist the urge to pump a Buckshot at someone. Heck, I can even tell you that I have Clark Shotgun unlock for support.

Do the AR rockets have a minimum deployment distance before arming? The reason I ask is that it's often hard to hit an FAV at close range. When fired at the FAV, the rockets just seem to disappear into the FAV skin and do not explode. Ditto for close range infantry. Is this the anti-noobtoob coding?

yea, that happenes to me a lot... If I shoot at someone without using the scope it goes right trough them and continue trough whatever is behind them and refuse to explode...

If you have you AR rocket to AIRBURST, then the round will not explode until it reaches the destination (It might have the exploding graphic effect but no damage). So if you want to hit something directly, you should not zoom since zooming in will set the Rocket to airburst.

Yep, they have travel a minimum of 20m before the explode, after that they will detonate at the first thing they come in contact with, or if sooner will detonate at the distance you set them to.

We're not talking mines.... this is a "rocket" thread!

Interesting about the 20m arming distance, thought it's complete crap. I need to run away from an FAV in order to shoot at it? In order to avoid a rocket attack, I should nitro TOWARD it not AWAY from it?

Isn't that the "Hunt for Red October" defense....?
